Contentful, is a pioneer and global leader in headless content management systems (CMS) and is now leading the industry with its content platform, which enables all web builders — developers, designers and content creators — to create and deliver digital experiences for any channel or device.
In recent months, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the reliance of brands on digital channels as the primary means of customer engagement. Contentful is helping brands to adapt to the changing landscape by quickly scaling up digital offerings across the entire customer journey. It will use this new funding to scale quickly to meet the demand and momentum in the market.
Legacy content management systems were built for a web-only era, before mobile devices became the front door to nearly every business on the planet. In this new digital-first era, companies must deliver content across devices and around the world. This changes the game, requiring new capabilities to create the next generation of digital experiences.
