About Brandfolder
Brandfolder is an enterprise DAM founded in 2012 in Denver and acquired by Smartsheet in 2020 for $155M. It serves 5,000+ brands including Lyft, JetBlue, and Sonos, and is best known for "Brand Intelligence" — an analytics layer that tracks how individual assets are viewed, downloaded, and shared, then feeds that data into BI tools. As part of Smartsheet, it positions itself as the content layer inside a broader work-management ecosystem, aimed at mid-market and enterprise teams with multi-brand governance needs.
