Founded in 1998 and based in Providencia, Santiago, Ekhos operates as a strategic communication and research agency serving public organizations, universities, foundations, civil society entities, and companies. It holds membership in the Asociación de Investigadores de Mercado y Opinión Pública de Chile (AIM) and carries the association's quality certification, reflecting its standing within Chile's market and opinion research community.
The agency's work spans editorial and press management, strategic planning, and crisis communications, alongside a research practice built on public opinion analysis, demand studies, advanced statistical work, and econometric studies. It also handles brand positioning and potential assessments, developing ad hoc methodologies suited to each client's specific needs rather than applying a single fixed model across engagements.
Ekhos organizes its work through flexible areas or working nuclei, each staffed by professionals from sociology, political science, journalism, geography, and design. This multidisciplinary structure supports its stated aim: helping clients understand and make strategic use of the full potential of their identity, whether through public-facing communication, crisis response, or research-driven brand positioning.
