About

The very best of both worlds

Passionfruit started as a marketplace for the world's best marketing freelancers. Today, our tech is the product of everything we've learned along the way.

The timeline you can expect

Where it started

Passionfruit launched as a freelancer marketplace in the early 2020s, connecting major brands with vetted marketing specialists.

We played matchmaker for paid media strategists, CRM managers, SEO leads, and brand specialists, placing them with clients in need.


And boy, did it work! Thousands of projects have been completed under our banner for hundreds of brands, from innovators like BetterHelp, Softr, and Perplexity AI, to household names like PepsiCo, HSBC, Wayfair, and L'Oreal.


Amidst these successes, though, one thing was really bugging us.

The really big problem

The sharpest minds in our network were wasting their talent on busywork.

Turns out, marketers only spend 28% of their time doing the job they were hired to do: the rest is lost in a pit of admin and manual drudgery.


That trove of excellent marketing (over five years of real campaign data, real results, real playbooks from the pros) became our foundation for something new.

Built for marketers,
by marketers

Generic models are made for mass consumption.

They don’t know good marketing from a hole in the wall. They pull from Reddit, Wikipedia, and other unregulated corners of the world wide web.


We have something that blows them out of the water: thousands of data points that prove what actually works, at scale, across industries.Those are hard-won lessons from the best practitioners in the world … and Reddit definitely can’t touch that.


Plus, Pip automatically selects the best AI model for every task.That means better outcomes and the freedom that comes from never depending on a single provider.

Who we are today

Passionfruit is two things,
working together.

Our Marketplace

Which is still the best way to find and work with specialized marketing talent. Our network grows week on week, giving us real-time intelligence on what's working in marketing across every category, channel, and location.

Pip

The AI platform built on everything we learned from our marketplace. Specialist agents, 100+ integrations, and human engineering support. All packed with the collective intelligence of the world's best marketers, codified and ready to work for your brand.
The marketplace makes Pip smarter. Pip makes the marketplace more valuable. Both work together to solve the same problem: giving marketing teams the time, the tools, and the intelligence to do the work they were hired to do.

The mission

Reshaping how marketing gets done in the AI century. We're not trying to replace marketers: we want to give them back the 72% of their time that gets eaten up by everything else. Down with spreadsheets on a Sunday evening, long live strategy and creative.

The team

We're creatives, engineers, and operators setting the future of marketing. How do we know? Because we've lived every one of their challenges ourselves. With offices in New York, London, and Portugal, we're growing fast and working on something that matters to all of us.
