We didn't research this market.
We were this market.
ENCORE was built because the tools failed us first.
From a pain we lived.
Rob Runyon spent years building commercial workflows for brands on Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok Shop. He watched creators and agencies burn out trying to stitch together 12 tools that were never designed to talk to each other.
He interviewed 80+ creators and 12 agencies in 11 weeks. Every conversation said the same thing:
"I love what I do. But I can't scale myself."
So he built ENCORE.
Not as a feature. Not as a wrapper. As the complete loop that the creator economy has been missing.
11 weeks from blank Figma to 5,200 creators on the waitlist.
That's what happens when you build for a pain you've lived.
Our Mission
To give every creator and agency the tools to ship more, stay themselves, and build something that lasts — without burning out in the process.
