As organizations create more and more digital assets to facilitate digital marketing strategy, the need to securely store, organize, share, and retrieve files in a timely manner is as important as ever. Especially for brands with multiple locations that need consistency across branches.
That's where digital asset management comes in.
Digital asset management (DAM) enables organizations to organize, store, and share digital files including images, video, audio, presentations, documents and more.
With an organized digital asset library, organizations can get more value from their assets by making them easy to access and distribute.
Traditionally, organizations used internal servers to store digital assets. Without proper organization, finding these assets when needed could become a time-consuming and frustrating task. That is why organizations are increasingly shifting toward the use of digital asset management software to store, manage, and access digital files.
According to a report by Harvard Business Review, digital assets have doubled in the past 15 years.
With marketing teams creating more content than ever, implementing a digital asset management solution is essential for organizations with a growing digital strategy.
Digital asset management is a dynamic digital asset library that houses various assets. Due to its centralized nature, the library is a secure sharing platform that allows multiple stakeholders to have access to digital assets when and where they need them.
Rather than having to manually provide employees, stakeholders, and local marketers with digital assets, corporate teams can load them onto a digital asset management platform, so it’s easily accessible.
The assets can be updated and distributed through an automated workflow to ensure everyone has the most up-to-date and relevant content. Regardless of where a marketer is for an organization, collateral will have the same color scheme, logo, typography, and brand messaging which enhances overall brand awareness.
