# Electric Kite Media (EKM)

> AI consultancy for accountable leaders. We help organizations put AI to work: strategy, implementation, and training. Founded 2016 in Toronto, Canada; working with clients across Canada, the US, and the UK. Marketing systems are a flagship use case, but the work spans any workflow where AI removes real friction.

We are discovery-led: we understand how a client actually works, find the bottlenecks and repetitive drains, map where AI saves time, prioritize, then build and implement production tools, not demos or slide decks.
