Beacons is an all-in-one platform for content creators that combines a link-in-bio page, an online store, a media kit builder, and email marketing tools in one dashboard. It's built for influencers and creators on Instagram and TikTok who want to sell products, land brand deals, and manage an audience without stitching together several separate tools.
What does Beacons do?
At the center of Beacons is a customizable link-in-bio page, the single link creators put in their social media profiles that fans land on to find everything else, from merch to courses to social links. From there, Beacons adds the pieces a creator business actually needs to make money: a store for selling digital products, courses, and merch, an auto-updating media kit that pulls in engagement stats for brand pitches, and email tools for reaching subscribers directly.
Beacons also includes Beam, described as an AI teammate that handles tasks like analyzing growth trends, planning content, calculating fair brand deal rates, and drafting outreach to brands. Some of Beam's deal negotiation and inbound-opportunity features are still listed as coming soon rather than fully live.
