# ILLIXIS

> Full-stack marketing platform that replaces a disconnected marketing stack with one integrated system. Tagline: "Marketing, Unstacked." Replaces 8-12 point tools (research, strategy, content, creative, distribution, analytics) for small marketing teams. Launching publicly June 1, 2026. Pricing: Starter $997/mo, Professional $2,497/mo, Enterprise $4,997/mo. 7-day trial for $7.

ILLIXIS is built around five workflow stages (Discover → Strategize → Create → Amplify → Analyze) and Maya, an AI marketing strategist that operates inside the platform. Where most marketing software assumes you assemble a stack of point tools and stitch them together, ILLIXIS ships the entire program in one place: brand intelligence, competitor research, content strategy, article generation, social distribution, paid ads coordination, email automation, attribution tracking, and AI-citation optimization. You approve; ILLIXIS executes.

The company is founder-led. ILLIXIS dogfoods its own platform — every article, landing page, and customer asset on illixis.io was generated using ILLIXIS.
