View company profile

What began in 2015 from a simple, yet powerful idea to make life easier for marketers, has blossomed into a revolutionary force in the world of digital marketing. Knak was born out of the real-world experiences of its founder, Pierce Ujjainwalla, a career marketer who had spent years in the trenches at major tech companies like IBM, SAP, and Marketo. He intimately understood the frustrations and bottlenecks that plagued marketing teams: the reliance on coding, the endless back-and-forth with agencies, and the creative spirit being stifled by tedious processes. He envisioned a world where marketers could reclaim their creativity and build beautiful, on-brand emails and landing pages without writing a single line of code. This vision became the bedrock of Knak.

The journey started with a clear mission: to lead the fight for creativity in marketing and empower teams to build, collaborate, and approve stunning digital assets with unprecedented speed. The initial years were focused on building a robust, no-code, drag-and-drop builder that could seamlessly integrate with leading marketing automation platforms. The platform's launch was a significant milestone, marking the beginning of a new era for enterprise marketing teams. The company's growth was steady and organic, built on a foundation of a product that truly solved a critical pain point. A major turning point came in November 2021, when Knak secured a $25 million Series A funding round led by Insight Partners. This infusion of capital supercharged their growth, allowing them to double the team, open a new world headquarters in Ottawa, and accelerate their product roadmap. Today, Knak is trusted by thousands of marketers at some of the world's biggest brands, including Google, Meta, and Amazon, a testament to the transformative power of their initial idea.
