Securing a good market position requires a strong brand. Repeatedly, we see companies striving to keep up with their brand while maintaining full control. The common denominator is often the lack of systems that streamline workflows and simultaneously secure a consistent brand.
Are you working with, or even responsible for your company’s brand? How many of the following statements can you relate to?
… you spend more time looking for files than you actually use them
Perhaps a bit overstated, but a huge problem for most marketing teams that do not have a brand management system is the time they spend looking for files and other marketing collateral.
If you do not have an intuitive system for storing assets, the chances are that you will look for files 16 times each day, and a third of those times, you won’t have any luck locating the files.

And also, you shorten the time it takes to look for files or create material – because you have stored it in a safe place and created a self-service platform for everyone in your company, rather than keeping it in our computer or on the file creators hard drive.
