About DPANELL · est. 2013

Half sketchbook,
half machine.

We're a Jakarta studio that draws brand characters by hand — and builds AI engines to do everything else. Ten years of stories, now running on automation.

The story so far

From two illustrators and a sketchbook to engines that run brands while they sleep.

2013

Two pencils, one belief

DPANELL starts with a love for illustration and a stubborn belief: brands deserve better than stock photos and forgettable slides. First clients, first comics, first characters.

2016

The big brands call

Household names knock: Kacang Garuda, Kredivo. We grow into a full agency — campaigns, apps, media buying. The work wins reach and awards. It also gets complicated.

2020

We simplify

Sprawling retainers and bloated proposals aren't us. We strip everything back to productized services — clear scope, clear price, clear end date. Clients love it. So do we.

TODAY

Craft meets automation

Now we run three engines: Social Engine automates Instagram workflows, SEO & GEO Engine compounds Google rankings and AI citations, and Visual Storytelling stays 100% hand-drawn — because your brand's face is the one thing machines shouldn't make.

engines, zero retainer traps

Two sides of the studio

Most agencies pick one. We think the magic is in knowing which is which.

✍️

The sketchbook side

Characters, comics, and campaigns drawn by human hands. Slow on purpose. This is where your brand gets a soul — a face audiences recognize, love, and share.

Visual Storytelling · No AI, ever

24/7

The machine side

AI workflows that generate ideas, humans that approve them, systems that publish and rank while you sleep. Fast on purpose. This is where your brand gets consistency.

📦

Products, not retainers

Clear scope, clear price, cancel anytime. No open-ended contracts that keep billing when results don't show.

👀

Humans approve everything

Our engines automate the grind, never the judgment. Nothing ships — a post, a page, a character — without human sign-off.
