Our team

The people putting AI to work for marketing

380 marketers, engineers, researchers and designers across four studios — building the platform we always wanted to use.

Leadership

Operators who have run the playbook themselves

Half our leadership team ran marketing functions before joining. They build for the job they used to do.

How we work

Six principles, written down and argued over

Every new teammate gets this list on day one, and anyone can propose a change to it.

  1. 01

    Write it down

    Decisions live in docs, not hallways. A one-page brief beats a one-hour meeting.

  2. 02

    Default to small

    Ship the smallest useful version on Tuesday, learn by Thursday, iterate on Friday.

  3. 03

    Dogfood everything

    Our own marketing runs on Juniper. If a workflow annoys us, it gets fixed first.

  4. 04

    Disagree, then commit

    Argue with evidence, decide with a named owner, then move as one team.

  5. 05

    Protect focus

    No-meeting Wednesdays, async standups and a strict two-hour maker block every day.

  6. 06

    Leave it better

    Every repo, doc and process you touch should be a little easier for the next person.
