About Keyline Brands

Keyline Brands is an e-commerce brand partner that buys products at wholesale and runs the listings, ads and brand protection on major online marketplaces for consumer brands.

Keyline Brands was founded in 2023 in Philadelphia. Brands pay no fees: Keyline earns its margin on the products it buys and sells.

Built by sellers. Made for brands. We know what it takes to sell online because our team does it every day. Now we put that experience to work growing brands like yours.

What we do

What Keyline Brands does.

We buy your products like any other dealer, then our team runs everything that sells them online.
See how we do each one

Listings and product images

We rewrite your titles, bullets and descriptions around what shoppers actually search for, and rebuild your images and A+ content. More of the people who find your product page end up buying.

Advertising management

We launch and run your sponsored ads, starting broad to find the searches that convert, then moving budget to the products that sell. We fund the ads on the products we buy, so your team never pays for them.

Brand protection and pricing

We sell at or above your MAP on every listing and document anyone who doesn't. We help you use Brand Registry and Transparency to keep unauthorized sellers off, so your price holds everywhere you sell.

Brand Registry and setup

We help you register your brand and connect the tools that protect it, then get every product you want online listed correctly. Your catalog is complete, and it's clearly yours.

Inventory and fulfillment

We place the purchase orders, track every unit from your dock to the fulfillment center and reorder what sells. Your best sellers stay in stock without anyone on your team watching inventory.

Reviews and monthly reporting

We request reviews on every eligible order and send one clear report a month: sales, ads, inventory and what we're doing next. You always know how your brand is doing online.

Why Keyline

What makes Keyline Brands different.

Most brands choose between paying an agency and building a team in house. We work differently.
$0cost to your brand

No cost to your brand

Keyline Brands buys your products at your normal wholesale price and funds the listing, ad and protection work ourselves.

The usual wayA marketplace agency typically bills a monthly retainer, often $5,000 or more, whether your sales grow or not.

0long-term contracts

No long-term contract

We start with a standard wholesale account and keep your business by performing, order after order.

The usual wayA retainer gets paid every month either way. We only earn when your products sell, so our incentive is the same as yours.

1week to get set up

Up and running in the first week

Most accounts are set up within the first week, and listing work starts right after.

The usual wayBuilding the same capability in house means hiring, software and training before anything changes.

1team, one contact

One team for the whole job

Listings, images, ads, brand protection, inventory and reporting all come from one team, with one account lead as your contact.

The usual wayAn agency for ads, a freelancer for images and someone in house watching inventory.

MAPor above, every listing

Your price holds

We sell at or above MAP on every listing and help you enforce it with Brand Registry and Transparency.

The usual wayToo many sellers pile onto one listing and undercut each other until the price slides for everyone. We are built to stop that, not add to it.

Our story

The team behind Keyline Brands.

Our team started in 2023 with a simple goal: find great products and sell them well online. Since then we’ve grown to more than $5M in online sales, with more than 50,000 units shipped to customers.

Selling every day taught our team what actually moves a product online. Listings that get found. Ads that earn their spend. Prices that hold. Inventory that never runs dry. It also showed us how much time brands lose trying to manage all of it on their own.

Keyline Brands puts that experience to work for you. We buy your products like any other dealer, then our team takes care of the listings, advertising, pricing, and logistics, so your team can stay focused on building great products.

When you partner with Keyline, you get a dedicated team that treats your brand like our own. No hand-offs, no runaround.

Meet the founder

Kevin Gowen.

Founder of Keyline Brands, based in Philadelphia

  • Founded 2023
  • Headquarters Philadelphia, PA
  • Warehouse Newark, DE

Kevin started selling online in 2023 from Philadelphia and built the business that became Keyline Brands, one product and one reorder at a time. He built the team and the systems behind it from the ground up, from unit level inventory tracking to the listing and advertising playbooks every account runs on today.

Selling every day showed him how much brands lose online: prices that slide, listings nobody updates, inventory that runs out. Keyline Brands is his answer, one team that takes all of it off a brand's plate at no cost to the brand.
