Today marks a major transition for Tarkle. After four years of scaling Renlar to millions in revenue and serving 500+ clients, we stepped back from the agency brand to focus entirely on building products for agencies.
Renlar was one of Tarkle's brands in the service business. We started it in September 2021, days after exiting a previous startup. The mission was simple: provide true unlimited design with fast turnarounds and quality that matched what clients envisioned. Over four years, we served 500+ clients, managed 300+ staff and contractors across multiple countries, and delivered over 3,000 projects.
How the products were born
As we scaled Renlar, we kept hitting operational problems. Client management platforms did not fit design delivery. File sharing services looked unprofessional when clients received links. Contractor management tools were either too expensive or too limited. Every time we hit a wall, we searched for a solution. When we could not find one, we made it.
That is how Tarkle Send (then Sharebrand), Tarkle Portal (then Bripes), and Tarkle Crew (then Kontrable) were born. They were not side projects. They were the infrastructure that powered our operations. And once they existed, other agencies started asking if they could use them too.
What happened to Renlar
We exited the Renlar brand. The agency operations, the client relationships, and the team that powered Renlar transitioned under separate leadership. Renlar clients remain with Renlar. The service continues under its own management.
Design services continue under Tarkle Studio
As part of our effort to bring everything under one unified brand, the design subscription service that Tarkle always offered continues under Tarkle Studio. Renlar was one brand. Tarkle Studio is the home for design subscription clients going forward. The team is focused on Studio clients with the same quality and turnaround times: 24 to 48 hours for graphics, 2 to 3 days for web design. Tarkle Studio offers two plans: Business at $597/mo and Full Service at $1,197/mo.
What Tarkle is now
Tarkle is four products, each solving a problem we lived through while scaling an agency:
- Tarkle Send — File sharing and tracking. Deliver files to clients on your domain with your brand on every link. Custom domain, Slack notifications, file payment gate. From $29/mo.
- Tarkle Portal — Client portal for productized agencies. Work orders, deliverables, approvals, copyright transfer, reseller program. From $69/mo.
- Tarkle Crew — Flat-rate contractor management. Crew never holds funds. Payments go directly business-to-contractor. AI-assisted contracts.
- Tarkle Studio — Design subscription. Graphics, video, web design, and managed SEO in one subscription. From $597/mo.
Each product solves a problem we lived through at the agency. Each product is something we wish had existed when we were scaling.
We are grateful to every client who trusted us, every designer who delivered exceptional work, and every team member who helped us scale. That experience is in the DNA of every Tarkle product.
A note about Renlar: Renlar is now operated independently. It competes in the same market as Tarkle Studio. We do not reference Renlar as a Tarkle credential or a past achievement. It is a separate business with separate leadership. Tarkle Studio stands on its own.
