London agency launches AI-powered marketing firm

A London-based creative agency is launching a new AI-powered marketing venture.

Neverland, an independent agency, has partnered with former Stripe Communications managing director Chris Stevenson to create Pink Neon, a specialist agency focusing on PR, social media, influencer marketing and brand-funded programming. 

Pink Neon will harness advanced AI tools across strategy, analysis, cultural insight and operations, enabling the team to concentrate on creativity, execution and client responsiveness. 

The agency will work collaboratively with Neverland on shared clients, delivering fully integrated marketing communications solutions.

Chris, who joined Stripe in 2016 to launch its London office, has led campaigns for Merlin Entertainments, Travelodge, Ubisoft and Tefal, winning awards including Cannes Lions, D&AD and Clio. 

He said: “Pink Neon is an agency ready for the future, delivering popular campaigns people love, marrying human intelligence with advanced AI tools. 

“Neverland embody the freedom, confidence and creativity of an independent agency so we immediately aligned on our ambition to serve clients first, not shareholders. 

“It’s an inspiring, exciting partnership and we’re going to do great things together.”

The launch comes after a series of Neverland pitch wins, expanding its ability to deliver total-to-live (TTL) campaigns and meet rising demand for strategic and creative services.

Jon Forsyth, chief commercial officer and co-founder at Neverland, added: “With our continued commitment to driving creative leadership, partnering with Chris to launch Pink Neon is a powerful way to broaden the Neverland brand. 

“Our superpower is independence, being dangerously free to fuse human intelligence with AI, tailored to each client. 

“Combined with Chris’ proven expertise to generate big, popular ideas that get seen, this is the future that clients want.”
