Build the operating system
for agentic marketing.
We're hiring across product, engineering, design, customer success, marketing and creative. London. Singapore. New York. Buenos Aires. Remote where it makes sense.
An open platform for the work marketing teams actually do.
Pencil is the agentic marketing OS for enterprises. Instead of locking you into one model, we run an open garden with OpenAI, Google, Firefly and Runway, whichever fits the brief. And it works: Diageo cut production costs 33%, Unilever runs Pencil across 24 markets, Salomon made 1,000+ creatives in one campaign.

Open Garden architecture
Every leading AI model, one platform. We don't tell clients which model to use. We let the brief decide.

- Show outcomes, not claims. Demos, not decks.
- The best answer wins, wherever it comes from.
- Ship first, polish later.
- Every project has one owner who calls it.
- We hire how you think, not your resume.
