Hi, I’m Kevin Martin — founder of Solace & Co.

Running a small brand isn’t just business—it’s a piece of your heart. It’s the late nights, the creative risks, and the quiet belief that what you’re building matters. But the road can be lonely, filled with confusing jargon, generic advice, and the pressure to chase trends. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin, unsure of your next move.

I get it—because I’ve lived it. Over the past five years in e-commerce, I’ve grown Amazon brands in the fitness category by over 80% year-over-year, and successfully launched products across multiple markets, most recently in office goods. But in 2023, I faced a season of unexpected personal loss. And during that time, what I needed most wasn’t another blueprint—it was solace. Someone who understood the weight of building something meaningful without preying on my vulnerability.

That season taught me a lasting lesson: people and purpose must come before profit.

It’s why I founded Solace & Co.—an e-commerce consulting studio created for the dreamers, the underdogs, and the boutique brands trying to build something real. I don’t offer cookie-cutter agency packages or recycled growth hacks. I offer something different: years of hands-on experience, honest strategy, and a partnership rooted in empathy and trust.

I’ve felt the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. And I want to be the partner you can lean on when you need it most.
