Salary benchmarks
Our take
Global brands are experiencing exponential demand for more content across increasingly automated channels. Meanwhile, research has shown that employees spend about 16% of their time searching for information and assets they need, but are finding them only 56% of the time.
Frontify was created to be a central hub for companies, serving as a brand management portal that includes dynamic, modularised design systems. Here, employees can find brand assets that can be edited, maintained and shared with others across the company and beyond.
The company has invested in its international growth and product development, doubling down on its unique combination of a full-suite service and high UX standards. It has also expanded its executive team and acquired real-time image and video processing service TwicPics to support continued scaling.
