About Robots and Pencils
Robots and Pencils is a digital innovation agency companies engage to create what's next. Trusted by some of the world's best brands, we help our clients use mobile, web and frontier technologies to transform their businesses.
In 2009, we created Robots and Pencils with the then-contrarian view that mobile would be more transformative than the Internet. Today, our thinking is rooted in the belief that, in the age of unprecedented technology acceleration, maintaining a competitive advantage requires new strategies and a focus on innovation.
Our approach has been to create a company designed to follow the talent, allowing us to amass an unfair share of hyper-skilled people who call Robots and Pencils home. A team of people who not only develop innovative solutions to transform businesses, but also create products that have been previously inconceivable.
