Opportunities like this don’t come along every day. Make it yours.

Papirfly is defining its category within MarTech as a leading SaaS vendor. Focused on the provision of world-class brand management products, the company helps enterprise customers manage, control, use, deploy, distribute, and build their brands and brand assets. From attracting talent to acquiring customers, Papirfly’s products are used to deliver brand consistency to Fortune 500 and national market leaders alike.

The story started two decades ago when Papirfly was founded in 2000 to offer customers (originally focused in Scandinavia) solutions to their marketing problems and overcome the operational challenges they faced every single day. From the beginning, rival BrandMaster was providing fierce competition. Yet both companies had aligned values, a focus on quality product development focuses on innovation, and track records of exceptional delivery.

In 2021, Papirfly and BrandMaster merged, creating Papirfly Group, and Meriworks joined the family shortly after. In 2022, Verdane - the European specialist growth equity investor - acquired a majority stake in the group to create a global marketing technology leader.

Now, under one brand as Papirfly, we’re nearly 300 people in eight countries working with customers around the world. Everyone here is committed to standing out from the MarTech crowd as we continue to deliver on our values, every single day.

Fun fact: Papirfly is the Norwegian word for ‘paper plane’ reflecting our Nordic roots. Today, as a global company, we pronounce it ‘paper fly’.
