French startup SendinBlue, a leading email marketing and CRM platform, recently announced that it is rebranding as Brevo. This change comes after a decade of rapid growth and evolution for the company.
Why Change the Name After 10 Years?
- SendinBlue was founded in 2012 as an email marketing service. However, the company has expanded into a full CRM platform over the past decade.
- Today, only 31% of Brevo’s clients solely use its email marketing capabilities. The majority utilize the broader CRM and marketing automation features.
- As the product offering matured, SendinBlue outgrew its name which focused on “send” and email.
- A new brand identity was needed to align with the company’s expanded capabilities beyond email.
The Meaning Behind the New Brevo Brand
- Brevo comes from the word “bravo,” which celebrates success.
- It represents Brevo’s confidence in their clients’ ability to grow using the platform.
- The “a” is replaced with an “e” to add energy and make the name unique.
- Brevo signals an exciting new chapter focused on building relationships between the company, clients, community, and partners.
