Knak is a mission-driven company
Why? Because our time is limited, our competition is fierce, and our margin for
error is small. For us to have the greatest impact on the world, we need to be
laser focused on our core mission, which is...
Empowering people to be creative.
That’s why Knak exists.
We are a world-class enterprise email and landing page creation platform with a
focus on making successful and happy customers by providing them with an
incredibly powerful, yet easy to use creation platform.
Our industry leading SaaS solution is built by Marketers, for Marketers. We know
that it’s the small things that make the biggest impact and that emails and
landing pages are where the rubber hits the road when it comes to Marketing
Automation. We change the way Marketers work by making them more efficient,
while improving conversion rate of their campaigns and helping them stay on
brand.
Oh, and we have a bit of fun while doing it, too!
