About Knak

Knak, a Canadian company founded in 2015 by Pierce Ujjainwalla, Brendan Farnand, and Patrick Proulx, offers a no-code platform for enterprise marketing teams to create emails and landing pages.

The company was established to address a common bottleneck in enterprise marketing operations: the reliance on developers and coding to create marketing campaigns. This dependency often leads to slow execution and a lack of flexibility for marketing teams. Knak's platform empowers marketers to create their own emails and landing pages without writing any code.

The core of Knak's offering is a cloud-based, drag-and-drop builder that is designed for ease of use. The platform is fully integrated with major marketing automation platforms, including Marketo, Eloqua, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, allowing for a seamless workflow from creation to execution. This integration ensures that the emails and landing pages created in Knak are fully compatible and optimized for these systems.

Knak operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) business model, providing its platform to large marketing teams in enterprise companies. The company has seen significant growth, highlighted by a US$25 million Series A equity investment. This funding has enabled Knak to further develop its platform and expand its market reach.
