Kit (formerly known as ConvertKit) is a prominent email marketing automation platform specifically designed for creators, such as authors, bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, and course creators. Founded by Nathan Barry in 2013, the platform rebranded from ConvertKit to Kit to reflect its evolution into a broader newsletter growth engine and creator operating system.
Unlike generic email marketing platforms that cater to traditional retail or corporate businesses, Kit is built entirely around the creator business model, focusing on audience growth, relationship building, and monetization.
