As marketing leans more and more on technology, digital assets grow substantially. It’s helpful for your team to have approved photos, videos, content snippets, logos, and more at the ready. In an ideal scenario, there is a single storage system — a data asset management system, or DAM — for all current assets which integrates seamlessly with the other marketing technologies you have in place.
But in reality, many companies have assets stored in silos in various technologies. Even when assets get updated in one platform, outdated versions are all too often left behind both in that platform and across other channels. The result? Countless versions of countless assets, spread across many systems. Countless emails requesting the latest logo or trying to find content for re-use. Countless hours trying to keep track of all of the moving parts to maintain consistent branding across all channels.
It doesn’t have to be this way. All your organization needs is an omnichannel DAM.
Finding a DAM that works with you
From an outside perspective, a DAM seems like a no-brainer. Why don’t all brands use a single, central system for managing their ever-increasing number of assets? The answer is easy. All too many companies have tried using a DAM, only to find that it actually creates more work, not less, for their team.
When a DAM doesn’t integrate with the other martech platforms you use, it creates headaches. Your team doesn’t want to — and shouldn’t have to — struggle to download the asset from one location, then upload it into the platform where they need it. They shouldn’t have to reformat or resize. No one has time for that.
That’s why the right DAM with a simple user interface makes all the difference. And it’s also why integration is absolutely key in unlocking a DAM’s full potential. A DAM shines when it seamlessly integrates with all of your marketing technologies, making the right version of the right assets readily available with a few clicks. A good DAM sets you up for omnichannel success.
