Digital marketing these days is predominantly about high-resolution images and videos that can attract the attention of the customers. Therefore, it is imperative that marketing teams of all sizes invest in an effective digital asset management system.
Maintaining a repository of thousands of images and videos is not an easy task, and a tool that can offer user-friendly search options and hassle-free storage of these digital assets is what most marketing teams migrate towards when their digital assets grow in size and number and can no longer be managed efficiently with tools such as Dropbox and Google Drive. This is where a customized cloud-based digital asset management solution such as Flight by Canto comes into the picture.
