Introduction
Before we talk about Digital Asset Management, let’s talk about what it is.
In a nutshell, a DAM solution is a central hub to store and share all the things your marketing team creates.
When your file storage is a mess, your team gets frustrated, time gets wasted, and you never realize the ROI of all the assets you create because no one can find them.
Digital Asset Management helps your team become more efficient, and it helps save time by not having to dig through files.
Why is Digital Asset Management Important?
Digital Asset Management lets your team create, share, and distribute assets seamlessly with each other. It also helps you organize everything in one centralized location.
Here’s why finding a DAM solution is more important than ever...
Marketers Are Time-strapped
Marketers are being asked to create more assets than ever. Expectations are rising, but you’re not getting additional resources to meet these heightened goals.
That being said, marketers have two options:
- Reprioritize your work to waste less time on non-productive things.
- Stay late and work extra hours.
Digital Asset Management makes sure you fall into that first category.
How?
When your team spends less time tracking down files, they spend more time producing content that contributes to the bottom line and helps you reach your goals.
Shorten Production Cycles
An increase in content production means your team has less time to spend creating each asset.
DAM solutions streamline the process of assets by giving team members a way to store, share, and organize assets all in one place.
This allows your team to quickly find assets, so they spend more time creating great content.
With Digital Asset Management, your team follows a clear process so they can get more content produced in less time.
Focused On Generating ROI
A DAM solution allows your team to streamline the process of assets quickly. All of this extra time allows your team to spend more time creating content, and in turn, generate more ROI.
