Pencil Group includes 3 agencies in 1 group:
1. DigiPencil MVV : the digital innovation agency
2. Pencil Creative : the creative agency
3. Pencil Venture : the investment agency
We are independent and will stay independent. We believe independence is key to our business and our people. It keeps us staying true to who we are, liberates our ideas, and makes our people happy.
Ideas that matter. Ideas are around us. Anyone can come up with something cool. But do they matter? Do they make any positive changes? Do they add any values? Do they make the world a better place? For us, true ideas are meaningful. Not only that, they connect us human beings with what we care about. That’s why we are here to make, collaborate and nurture meaningful human connections.

A word from our guest:
Tim and I are currently Creative Directors at BBC Creative.
We've worked together for 13 years.
And we've lived together too.
In fact, we even hang out in the same gang.
Essentially, we're like a modern day Richie and Fonzie.
Yet we still aren't sick of the sight of each other.
We've worked with great people and terrible people and learnt just as much from both.
We've made great work and terrible work and learnt just as much from both.
We believe in the power of simplicity.
We like zigging when everyone else are zagging.
We now know that greatness requires collaboration.
And that winning the client's trust is the best way to get to something special.
We've won a few awards, but we never mention them.
Plus they even let us judge them these days.
Big ones too, not just the crap ones.
Actually we won a BAFTA, probably should mention that.

Hello!
I'm Ben.
Animation is still magic to me.
The fact that I can think of something, draw it and then bring it to life on the screen never gets old. Unless the client needs 16 new renders before lunch.
I've been designing professionally for 10 years and animating for 7.
In 2020, I decided to say goodbye to the freelance life so I could focus on my own projects, products & teaching on youtube.
I found Animation to be really intimidating when I first sat down in front of after-effects. And even when I was having fun, It took years before I was comfortable. It always felt like other animators I saw, were privy to some secret knowledge I didn't have. That wasn't true at all. I make all of my tutorials and courses to remove as much of the initial struggles, and show that anyone can make great animated work with the basic tools.
