When implementing a digital asset management (DAM) system, you begin by adding the typical mix of marketing assets, such as images, logos, pdfs, documents, etc. Most of these file types are familiar to the average marketer, until you get to video. Because video files are much larger and more complex than other media files, we are frequently asked, “What’s the best video format to upload into my DAM?”

When you fill out a survey, you aren’t given a long string of questions in paragraph form with one text area for your response. Not only would it be hard for you, the survey taker, to provide all the requested information; but it would also be incredibly time intensive for the survey analyzer to organize and understand all of the response data.
Instead, surveys are organized with questions and corresponding answer fields. All of the survey information has its own designated area, and is easy to access.
Like survey fields, metadata fields organize the individual pieces of data about other data.

It’s often said that branding is an essential aspect of marketing. Branding refers to the emphasis and efforts placed on the symbols, names, logos, slogans, designs, and other attributes associated with a company or product. Brands use emotional and functional elements, such as digital assets like images, videos, and other content, to establish and nurture relationships with their consumers. The better the relationship, the better the brand recognition.

Businesses are creating more content to meet the demands of new channels, products, and markets. More content means more challenges. Marketing and creative teams are dealing with questions like: What content do we have? Where is it stored? Can I reuse it? Do we have it translated in German? Is this graphic available in PNG format? Is this the most recent version? While file storage tools can work as a temporary fix, more and more businesses are using a digital asset management (DAM) system to centralize, organize, govern, and distribute content.
