Why another Beginner’s Guide to DAM?
We’ve had amazing conversations with brands big and small over the years about digital asset management. The idea of a Beginner’s Guide to DAM isn’t a new one. However, after hearing the same questions over and over, we knew we could provide some guidance.
Our goal is always to ensure teams are maximizing the value of their prized digital assets. This may sound easy but the truth is most organization’s workflows and their asset pipelines aren’t as straightforward as they seem.
- Our assets are everywhere! How do we migrate all our assets to one place?
- We picked a DAM, but it’s just a dumping ground for all of our assets.
- Can we choose who has access to what? We deal a lot with assets that expire. How do we ensure no one uses old assets?
- We waste so much money recreating assets that we know already exist.
- How do we build a folder structure?
- What words should we use to keyword our assets?
Stacks was born out of the problems and questions above.
With this increased demand in organization came an increased demand from non-traditional digital asset management industry professionals seeking help. Every company may not have a dedicated DAM Manager, but nearly every company with a digital footprint will touch digital asset management in one way or another.
This increased demand inspired us to put together a short and sweet Beginner’s Guide to DAM. The goal is to help those that may be new to DAM understand the landscape further.
