Our take
With an increased demand for content that is agreeable, personalised, and brand consistent, the digital asset management industry is growing fast, and Bynder is keen to cement its place as a key player.
As a scalable SaaS solution which is recognised for its innate user experience, Bynder is aimed at brand-forward companies seeking a user-friendly digital asset management (DAM) solution that they can utilise quickly. These companies increasingly deem DAM necessary for a customised customer experience and to free up time for wider strategic business initiatives, presenting a great growth opportunity for Bynder.
The company has built on its foundation of an innate user interface, as well as strong portal and swift deployment capacity, by expanding its partner ecosystem and integration capabilities. Serving over a million users across thousands of organisations, including the likes of Spotify, Puma, and Icelandair, the appeal of Bynder's solution is clear. In 2022, it was announced that the company would be purchased by private equity firm THL, a move which will enable it to accelerate growth and "help even more brands deliver exceptional content experiences."
