Papirfly overview

Papirfly is a consolidator in the European brand management market. The group merged with BrandMaster in 2021 and then acquired Meriworks (ImageVault) in 2021, Brandpad in 2022, French DAM vendor Keepeek in 2023 and UK-based Adgistics in 2024. Today the Papirfly Group brands are Papirfly, Keepeek, Brandpad and Adgistics, serving more than 1,500 brands such as PepsiCo, BMW and Mondelez. Verdane acquired a significant majority stake in 2022, which explains the acquisition pace.

The core proposition is template-driven content creation on top of a DAM. Local marketers, franchisees and sales teams edit locked templates for print, digital and social output, while the brand team controls layouts, assets and approval rules. Brand portals, campaign management, GDPR and compliance management and analytics complete the suite. That makes Papirfly a strong fit for decentralised organisations, such as retail chains, automotive dealers and FMCG companies, where most of the content cost sits in local adaptation.

Buyers should weigh three points. First, the integration catalogue is broad (Adobe, Figma, Canva, Microsoft 365, Akeneo, Stibo Systems, Salesforce, Shopify), and the open API covers custom work. Second, ISO 27001 is listed as in progress while ISO 22301 is confirmed. Third, leadership has changed often, with CEOs appointed in 2023, 2025 and January 2026. Buyers should therefore secure roadmap and product commitments in the contract, particularly where Keepeek, ImageVault and Papirfly overlap.

Strengths

Template-based content creation lets local teams produce on-brand print, digital and social material without designers.
One suite covers DAM, brand portal, brand guidelines (Brandpad), campaign management and GDPR compliance management.
A wide integration catalogue includes Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Canva, Microsoft 365, Akeneo, Stibo Systems and Salesforce.
AWS hosting with Norwegian and Swedish regions and regional data residency options supports Nordic and EU data requirements.

Considerations

Papirfly lists ISO 27001 as in progress, so security-led buyers should request a current status and the ISO 22301 certificate.
The group has had three CEO appointments between November 2023 and January 2026, so check roadmap commitments in the contract.
With Keepeek and ImageVault in the same group, confirm which DAM product a proposal is based on and its long-term roadmap.
Pricing is quote-based and modular, so total cost depends heavily on the number of modules and template volumes.

Best for

Multi-market brands, retailers and franchise networks that need central brand control plus self-service template production for local teams.
