Marklo is the campaign planning system for Shopify DTC brands — so marketing teams can move fast- in the right direction.
Our mission
We built Marklo because DTC marketing teams don't need generic AI or another tab to log into. They need the system they've been duct-taping together for years — finally built right.
Today, marketing runs on spreadsheets, fragmented tools, and processes that can't keep up with the pace and channel complexity of modern commerce.
Product assets and inventory live somewhere, campaign performance lives somewhere else. Creative briefs are cumbersome, and hindsight lives in an email no one can find.
Marklo connects it all — Shopify product data, Klaviyo, Meta, Google, TikTok — into one complete planning intelligence layer: a cross-channel calendar, campaign brief canvas, Ask Marklo chat, and analytics. Built on your actual business data, not a generic playbook.
The result: marketing teams run more of the right campaigns, faster — because the planning work that used to take days now takes minutes, and the intelligence that used to live in someone's head now lives in the system. Marklo removes the friction, handles the repetitive, and gives your team's judgment and creativity more room to operate.
Our team
Marklo's founding team brings together DTC operator experience, Shopify-native engineering, and Stanford and Harvard-trained strategic rigor — combined with backing from Forerunner Ventures. We've built brands, scaled commerce infrastructure, and run the marketing planning process the hard way. Marklo is the platform we always wished existed.
Our values
What drives us.
Built for Builders
We go deep on the problems operators face because we've been in their shoes. We design with our customers, not just for them.
Grow No Moss
We ship fast, learn faster, and never let perfect be the enemy of useful.
Create Great
We believe great products come from sweating the details — in design, engineering, and experience.
Show up like an Owner
Everyone owns outcomes. We expect deep accountability and reward initiative.
Grand Ambition
We're not building a better app. We're building the operating system for the next era of DTC marketing — and we intend to win.
Relentless Curiousity
We invest in understanding — from AI to commerce to the customer journey.
