about Kanso

Kanso is a community-centered brand built for the modern presence seeker. We design and produce phone-free social experiences, everyday goods, and thoughtful brand partnerships that help growth-minded people reclaim their attention, deepen their relationships, and build healthier tech habits.

In the past year we've welcomed thousands of guests to our events, partnered with leading startups, CPG brands, and non-profits, and been covered in press like Business Insider and the New York Post.

Most importantly, we’ve built a loyal community of people who care deeply about our mission and have built life-changing relationships + wellbeing improvements as a result of what we do.

All on the back of organic content, zero paid marketing spend.

Our product works and the mission is resonating. What we don't have yet is the growth engine that puts fuel on the fire and makes the world know we exist. 

the role

This is a founding marketer role, which means there is no playbook, a lot of hats to wear, limited resources, and a small team to rely on. 

You will own both acquisition + retention, full-funnel, organic social content, paid media, partnerships, press, community, email, brand, events as marketing, guerrilla ideas nobody has tried yet.

If it drives growth and builds the brand, it's yours. This is a chance to be part of building a category-defining brand from the ground up alongside a founder who is all in.

what you’ll own:

• full funnel acquisition — reach, conversion, ticket sales, membership growth, brand awareness
• daily organic content across socials (mainly tiktok and IG) — strategy, execution, and iteration
• paid media — you understand how paid works, when it makes sense, and how to make the math work
• executing on creator/brand partnerships 
• press relationships and story angles
• bringing together our existing community face-to-face

Lastly, you'll think about what a brand with ten times our resources would do and then figure out how to do it unconventionally with what we have.

who you are

You're a creative storyteller who thinks in growth loops. you can write a killer hook, speak comfortably on camera, build ad creatives, source creators, pitch a journalist, host an event, and ideate on creative partnerships.

You're scrappy, fast, and honest about what's working and what we should kill. you want to build something and are willing to dedicate your time to it, not just work somewhere. you believe less in work-life balance and more in work-life harmony.

why this

We’re spending more time on our devices and less time in person than ever. AI is only getting crazier and fanning the flames. We're the only company attacking and addressing each of these problems with a first principles, human-based approach.

the cultural moment is right now. the community is alive. the missing piece is you.

if you've been waiting for a mission worth obsessing over…this is it.
