About Presspage

At Presspage, we’re all about making work for Public Relations and Corporate Communications teams effective and efficient. That’s why we’ve built a publishing platform that helps global brands like Bayer, BMW, Emirates, Achmea, Puma, KLM and many more manage corporate publishing workflows, publish stories fast across owned channels, and stay in control of their narrative at scale. Presspage is trusted by enterprise communications teams operating in complex, regulated environments where speed, governance and consistency matter. Our customers choose Presspage because it’s easy to use, quick to adopt, and supported by people who understand their challenges. Today, the majority of our customers use Presspage primarily for publishing, with many relying on it as a core part of their communications infrastructure.

Culture

We have an open mindset and challenge ourselves to change for the better constantly. We are transitioning from start-up to scale-up and together we are putting more structure and processes in place to get to the next level. We’re currently around 35 employees in Amsterdam, and growing. Presspage has worked with solid investors since the first growth phase. The product/market fit at Presspage is now resulting in solid growth in revenue each year. After being acquired in 2025 by Banyan Software, we are focused on building a predictable, scalable commercial engine while maintaining the ambition, ownership and pragmatism that define our culture. At Presspage, trust and transparency are of the utmost importance. We value people who take responsibility, communicate clearly, and deliver on what they commit to - without politics or double agendas.
