Top Reasons Marketing Teams Outgrow Dropbox And Google Drive

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.

Why Digital Asset Management Is Vital For Top Marketing Results

According to the insights gathered from digital asset managers and the members of the marketing teams of some of the most reputable brands in the world, investing in dedicated enterprise digital asset management tools not only makes it easier to organize the content with tags and keywords for better search options but also helps different teams to collaborate better by sharing a common library of images and videos.

Digital asset management helps brands protect their digital copyrights, makes it faster and easier to repurpose content, provides branded portals to distribute files, and also makes it convenient to control which team can access which digital assets. In addition to these features, tools such as Flight can easily be customized to suit the specific needs of the user, such as structural requirements and search options, as is confirmed by James Howell, the Head of Digital Marketing at Ceva Sante Animale.

This is only one of the many ways in which digital asset management tools can significantly simplify the day to day job of the marketing team of any brand.
