Kickstarter Marketing

The Kickstarter agency behind 300+ funded campaigns and $120M+ raised.

Blazon is a full-service Kickstarter marketing agency. We plan, produce and run campaigns end to end: the deposit-backed pre-launch list, the campaign page and film, paid media, PR, live-campaign management, backer communication and the Shopify store that carries the product on after the campaign closes.

The campaigns include Filippo Loreti ($5.1M, one of Kickstarter’s top-raising watch projects), Nuud (EUR 2M+, the number one personal care project on Kickstarter), RENS ($1.5M, 500+ press hits), HelloEar by Xiaomi ($1.2M), Mod S2 ($1.2M), NAYA Create ($652K, funded in under five minutes) and LastTissue ($500K+). Vertical guides: hardware, consumer tech and design and lifestyle products.

What We Do

Six jobs, one team, in the order they happen.

01

Pre-launch audience and deposits

A reservation page and paid acquisition that build a deposit-backed list in the 8 to 12 weeks before launch. The deposit count sets the funding goal against demand we can measure, not a hope.

02

Campaign page and video

Page copy, reward tiers, early-bird pricing against the stated retail price, and a campaign film cut for conversion with the 30 ad variants that run alongside it.

03

Launch day and paid media

The day-one push that converts the deposit list in the first 48 hours, then Meta, Google and TikTok buying against cost-per-pledge targets for the rest of the campaign.

04

PR, creators and cross-promotion

Embargoed press for launch week, creator seeding, Kickbooster affiliates and newsletter placements that compound the paid engine.

05

Backer management and stretch goals

Comments, backer email, stretch-goal planning and sentiment tracking so the campaign keeps momentum through the mid-campaign dip.

06

After the campaign: InDemand and Shopify

Late pledges, BackerKit or InDemand pre-orders and the Shopify store that turns the campaign audience into a full-price DTC brand while units ship.

How the Kickstarter agencies compare

Eight Kickstarter agencies, one table.

Most Kickstarter partners sell one piece of the campaign: ads for the live period, a video, a course. Blazon is the only one on this list whose published offer runs from the pre-launch audience through the campaign to the Shopify store afterwards. Blazon wrote this table and ranks itself first, so read it as our view.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best Kickstarter marketing agency is one that runs the pre-launch audience as well as the live campaign, can show funded campaigns in your category, and stays for the Shopify store afterwards. Blazon Agency has run 300+ crowdfunding campaigns and raised $120M+ for clients, including $5.1M for Filippo Loreti, EUR 2M+ for Nuud and $1.5M for RENS, and is one of very few Verified Kickstarter Experts in Europe.
Blazon's minimum engagement is $15,000. Full Kickstarter programmes covering pre-launch, campaign and post-campaign start at $40,000 and typically run $50,000 to $150,000 depending on the target raise, plus a success commission of 8 to 10 percent of funds raised. Ad spend is planned separately and usually runs at 10 to 30 percent of the funding goal.
At least 8 to 12 weeks for most product categories, and 16 or more for hardware with manufacturing complexity. The pre-launch list determines the first 48 hours, and the first 48 hours determine whether the platform's discovery placements carry the rest of the campaign.
No agency can guarantee a raise. Blazon sets every funding goal from the deposit-backed pre-launch audience, so the target is a number the list can support rather than a hope, and it declines products where that audience cannot be built. Roughly one in five products that approach Blazon are taken on.
Consumer tech, hardware, design, lifestyle, gaming and film. Kickstarter works best for products with a clear visual story, a defined audience and a price point where an early-bird discount is meaningful. Software, services and charity do not belong there.
Yes. Blazon is a Verified Kickstarter Expert and runs campaigns on Indiegogo as well, including InDemand pre-orders after a campaign closes. The platform is chosen after the pre-launch audience is built, based on category, geography and pricing.
Strategy and goal setting, the pre-launch reservation page and paid list building, campaign page copy and design, video direction, backer-acquisition ads, PR outreach, creator and affiliate programmes, the live-campaign war room, backer communication and stretch-goal planning, and post-funding fulfilment planning.
Yes. Late pledges and InDemand, the Shopify store with pre-orders, Amazon listing setup, retail launches and paid scaling. Most Blazon hardware clients stay on after Kickstarter for DTC and retail growth; Homethings went from Kickstarter to 25,000+ subscribers. Talk to us about post-campaign scale.
