Pencil
GenAI ad creation platform for modern marketing teams
About Pencil
Pencil is a GenAI marketing platform that helps advertisers generate, test, and scale high-performing ad creatives across all major channels. Positioning itself as marketing's GenAI operating system, Pencil aggregates multiple AI models including GPT-5, Google Veo 3, and Adobe Firefly to produce static images and video ads in under 3 minutes. The platform combines creative generation with performance prediction — scoring each ad variation based on $1B+ in ad spend data to identify which creatives are likely to convert before you spend a dollar. Pencil supports multi-channel ad launch and tracking across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Google Display, DV360, and LinkedIn from a single workspace. Designed for both self-serve advertisers and enterprise teams, Pencil offers brand governance controls, entity and role-based access, custom model fine-tuning, and integrations with Figma and Photoshop. The platform enables end-to-end creative workflows from ideation through A/B testing to performance measurement.
