The best digital media library helps streamline your processes while facilitating collaboration. With just a few clicks you can;

  • Edit, tag or otherwise manage the content
  • Check or manage permissions and usage
  • Download digital media in whatever format you choose
  • Add additional edits to the content if required
  • Share assets internally or externally
  • Upload the content to your website or content marketing platform

And if that sounds good, you can also automate the distribution of your content to your key customer platforms such as your website. Saving you time while keeping you in control.

Digital media libraries enable you to share files both internally and externally with just a few clicks. Plus you can control usage permissions and set expiration dates even after it’s shared - so you remain in control at all times. And if you need to see who’s had access in the past, no problem. Simply check the sharing history for a full record of users and recipients.

As we mentioned above, successful marketers need a collaborative space to create the campaigns and projects that will help them grow their business. Working from an interactive, centralized portal makes collaboration a breeze - and with the added benefit of great file tracking and sourcing capabilities, you’ll have everything you need to get your products to market on time, on budget and with the highest quality marketing communications to support them.
