How it works (for brands)

Partner with the right creators faster

Take the guesswork out of choosing which creators to partner with.

Match with the best creators for your brand using key signals (e.g. follower count, engagement rate, audience demographics matching target customers).

You can also bring your own creators (BYOC).

Ads are whitelisted so that Meta's algorithm shows creator ads to their audiences (seeing a creator you follow recommend a product is more compelling versus someone random).

Whitelisted ads are the "sponsored" posts you see from creators in your Instagram feed. Also known as darkposts, they do not show up on a creator's profile.

Partner with the right creators faster

Turn 1 video into 20 videos with AI

No more waiting weeks for creators to make videos.

Take 1 perfect source video from a creator and instantly turn it into many videos.

All videos are approved (or rejected) by creators.

AI-generated audio is powered by OpenAI Voice Engine (which we have exclusive access to).

[Coming soon] AI-generated B-roll. Type text ("Bloom Nutrition's Greens being scooped into tall glass") and get video back. For now, upload existing B-roll to have it automatically woven into videos.

Turn 1 video into 20 videos with AI

Find winning ads by A/B testing messaging

Being bottlenecked by creator content creation is a thing of the past.

With instantly generated videos, you can A/B test your hook, story, & call-to-action to find the best messaging and improve ad performance.

Hi there, I'm Kennan!
Growing up, my dream was to be a pro gamer: this felt within reach in high school once I ranked top 200 North America in League of Legends (out of 100M players globally).
Despite this, I needed to support myself so I went to college and started learning to code. I soon realized being paid to work full-time (vs. paying to go to school) sounded quite nice, leading me to drop out after a year and join Pinterest (pre-IPO).
After this, I started a company called Skio which does subscription software for brands on Shopify. In just 3 years, we've partnered with 1000+ brands (Liquid I.V., Milk Bar, Barstool Sports, Unilever, KraveBeauty), reached $10M+ ARR (+profitable), and built an amazing team of 50.
With advancements in generative AI (video specifically), I saw an opportunity to help brands & creators bring their stories to life exponentially faster and make marketing much better (hence Icon).
I love learning how we can help better. Feel free to reach out anytime at kennan@icon.me.
