Bynder

Bynder, a global leader in digital asset management (DAM) headquartered in Amsterdam, has acquired Shutterstock’s digital asset management business, Webdam. The acquisition unites the DAM category leaders, from EMEA and North America respectively, to create a global organization providing marketing and creative teams with scalable, cloud-based solutions for managing, distributing, and collaborating on their digital assets.

Best-in-class DAM

The acquisition of Webdam highlights Bynder’s commitment to bringing best-in-class DAM to brand-driven businesses of all sizes around the globe. Blending the two companies’ industry knowledge, technological innovation, and geographic strengths—including heavy investment in artificial intelligence and integrations—will allow Bynder to better address evolving customer needs.

Clear harmony

Businesses are racing to keep up with the digital economy, in which digital content has become the new storefront for brands. Marketers and creatives play a critical role in developing these digital experiences, leading to an increasing need for DAM. Bynder and Webdam are two of the top DAM platforms on the market, with clear harmony in their respective cultures and product visions. This acquisition, which includes the opening of a new office in the San Francisco Bay Area, strengthens Bynder’s U.S. presence.
