Kuration

What Kuration does

Kuration is a privately held, digital direct-marketing agency founded in 2014 and headquartered in Toronto, with a secondary office in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The firm operates as a subsidiary of Kuration Brasil Ltda. and employs between 1 and 10 people. It delivers paid media management, measurement and attribution, marketing technology integration, and strategy services to clients in three specialty verticals — tourism and destination marketing, hotels and resorts, and telecommunications — plus secondary exposure in real estate and professional services.

The agency's core technology is a proprietary stack of six in-house tools: Kurava (project management), Kuralytica (marketing analytics), Zeitgeist (market intelligence), ReportForge (AI-driven results analysis), PingParty (real-time alerts), and Kohort (customer segmentation). These tools integrate with Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Tag Manager, and HubSpot CRM, and feed custom dashboards that pull live data from ad-tech APIs. The agency differentiates through statistical rigor (t-tests, cluster analysis) applied to campaign performance, daily embedded engagement with client teams, and full-stack conversion-path wiring that other agencies leave unfinished.

Kuration's go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, beginning with a diagnostic review of campaigns, data, and conversion paths, followed by ongoing engagement priced via quote-based retainers. The firm is bootstrapped with no institutional investors or venture capital disclosed, and relies primarily on its website, direct outreach (phone, WhatsApp, iMessage, email), and referrals for client acquisition. Senior leadership includes Leslie Perkins as Research Team Lead, previously Head of Planning at Ogilvy and VP roles at AT&T and Y&R.
