Bynder

Global DAM market leader with the broadest mid-to-enterprise installed base.

By Bynder B.V. · Founded 2013 · Amsterdam, Netherlands · pe backed

Bynder is the global DAM market leader, founded 2013 in Amsterdam. Acquired by Thomas H. Lee Partners in 2021 (PE-backed since). The product covers DAM + brand portal + creative workflow + studio (creative automation) + AI-driven auto-tagging. Strengths: broadest mid-to-enterprise DAM installed base globally, mature brand portal, strong Adobe Creative Cloud panel integration, mature AI auto-tagging (Bynder AI), strong fit for $50M-$5B revenue marketing-led organisations. Best fit for global mid-market and enterprise marketing teams. Trade-offs: pricing has crept up post-THL acquisition (2021-2025), customer reports of pricing pressure on renewals, support quality variable post-PE, and innovation pace on developer-first features below Cloudinary for technical buyers.

  • “Bynder remains the broadest DAM platform we evaluated, but the renewal conversation in 2025 was meaningfully harder than 2022.”
