We built Performative
because we needed it.

Performative was born inside KickSo, a performance-marketing agency that has spent years growing e-commerce businesses. Running campaigns for retailers with tens of thousands of products, we kept hitting the same wall: catalog content couldn’t keep up. Three-person teams were writing for catalogs of ten thousand. Generic AI tools didn’t understand product data, brand rules, or governance. Speed and quality became a trade-off and everyone lost both.

So we built the system we wished existed: an autonomous performance layer that generates, optimizes, and governs product content across an entire catalog on the company’s own infrastructure, with full control over brand and data.

That’s Performative. Not a content tool. A performance layer for enterprise e-commerce.

What we believe

Output is easy. Performance is the point.

We don’t measure success in words generated  we measure it in commercial output: visibility, ranking, and conversion across your catalog, continuously.

Governance is not optional.

Brand voice, approval workflows, and audit trails are built in, because enterprise content can’t be a black box.

Your data stays yours.

Locally hosted, GDPR-ready, zero data sent externally.
