As part of Papirfly Group, we're shaping the future of marketing technology through innovation and expertise. With over 250 team members across eight countries, we deliver solutions that address the real-world challenges our customers face, from simplifying content creation to seamlessly managing digital assets. Combining the strengths of Papirfly, Brandpad, Keepeek, and Adgistics, we empower businesses to drive scalable growth and foster trust and loyalty among employees and customers.

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

Keepeek, the French subsidiary of Papirfly, is the French leader in digital asset management and serves more than 350 clients (including Airbus, Stellantis, Orange, and Renault) to centralize, organize, and distribute their media content.
