You know what Kytes does.
Now learn why we do what we do — and the people who make it possible.
Kytes is the fulfillment of a vision. It is the filling of a gaping hole in how businesses distribute information with their consumers. It is, simply put, a better way to distribute content.
The Vision & The Genesis
Kytes originated as a bold, young spin-off from Hurix Digital, a 20 year old international powerhouse in the eLearning business.
It was evident to us that people no longer consume information like they did in the past. Just documents or videos aren’t enough any longer. They want to be entertained, educated and informed in a variety of ways. For example, marketing isn’t about distributing brochures alone – it is telling a rich story with video explainers, expert podcasts, sales presentations and yes, brochures too. Education isn’t just lecture notes – there are recorded videos, presentations and eBooks.
This extends to all the industries. Everyone who has content wishes to share it – with their audience, and in a combination of forms they think will work best. But the existing mechanism to do it was clunky, fragmented and highly user unfriendly. Social content sharing is inappropriate where content security and confidentiality matter. For targeted, secure, multi-format content distribution, there was no ready solution. A new way was necessary.
We needed a Swiss Army Knife of Content Distribution.
And that is precisely what Kytes is. A way to easily take your content to your world, irrespective of what your business is!
The People & The Culture
If there is a single philosophy to describe the Kytes product, and its people, it is Simple Effectiveness.
