What we do
Passionfruit is reshaping how marketing teams work. We started as a marketplace connecting brands with specialist marketers, and we're now building PIP, an AI-native platform that's changing how marketing operations actually get done.
We're not building generic AI tools and hoping marketers find them useful. We're building with marketing teams, because that's the only way to make something that genuinely works. Every feature, every workflow, every integration comes from real problems we've seen up close.
