Welcome
We're Borrowed Pen
When what you need to say is layered, nuanced, or tough to explain, we help you write the right words. We’re the hired pens who turn those “how do we even say this?” moments into messaging that inks the deal.
You bring the draft.
We make it click.
Is Your Brilliance Hidden Behind Dry Copy?
The work that matters most is often the hardest to explain.
The DevOps team building category-defining tech.
The manufacturer milling the part that every assembly line relies on.
The engineers finding solutions beyond the edge of what’s theoretically possible.
They’re hidden in the margins. Overlooked, underestimated, or buried in dry, technical copy no one gets.
We believe the most exciting work is overlooked.
A power grid sensor detecting outages before cities go dark.
A cybersecurity solution protecting countless small businesses.
A logistics algorithm ensuring relief supplies reach disaster zones first.
A phytosanitary stamp that secures the global food chain.
A titanium screw in orthopedic kits that keeps implants stable.
These businesses are changing the world quietly, consistently, and frankly, without the branding budgets of VC-backed darlings.
Your work deserves the spotlight.
You deserve brand messaging that reflects your value.
You deserve market intelligence that moves your message forward.
You deserve marketing campaigns that reflect the scale of your impact.
You’re doing something important. We'll make sure people get it.
At Borrowed Pen, we make it click.
Our ink doesn’t run from complicated messages, but it stops jargon in its tracks.

Step Five: Outline Your Content Path
We keep marketing projects on timeline from draft to launch.
Step Six: Optimize and Rewrite
Your ROI grows as we test, measure, and refine every word.
We turn scribbles into sign deals
