This level of accessibility improves the entire sales cycle and saves costs by reducing the need to recreate missing or lost files.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Marketing messages<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Growing companies segment and target their audiences to drive sales, so marketing content can be segmented by product line, industry, customer type, etc. At a basic level, a DAM system improves collaboration and equips sales and marketing teams with the best assets for the audience, preventing off-brand or non-compliant content in marketing campaigns.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Robust DAM solutions offer intuitive features like automatic <a href=\"https:\/\/evolphin.com\/blog\/how-to-do-rights-management-right\/\">digital rights management<\/a> to monitor licensing across third-party assets and save organizations from potential lawsuits.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Brand development<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Organizations need to maintain brand consistency across all channels, and DAMs make this easy. At bare minimum, DAMs should offer teams access to all up-to-date brand content from a central location.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This means that collaborators should be able to use the same version of the brand asset to keep the brand messaging consistent across all channels. Robust DAMs should go beyond the basics to offer intelligent version control that stores all versions of the same file, allowing users to go back in time and compare previous and current versions.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">File-sharing for marketing assets<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With a DAM, users can quickly find and reuse marketing content for sales campaigns across offline and online advertising channels. Recent research showed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.demandmetric.com\/content\/state-digital-asset-management-research-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">that 51% of respondents wasted resources and incurred significant cost recreating existing assets<\/a> they could not find, and teams spent around 91 hours each week searching for assets.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A DAM helps teams manage resources efficiently, while shortening the deal life cycles for sales and marketing teams.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Developers and IT teams<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Developers and IT teams can use DAM software as a single source of truth for managing application files and website content.\u00a0 With a centralized, single source of truth, web developers and marketing managers can operate with strict process and access controls ensuring that only the most recent, approved content versions make it into the DAM (and subsequently, the website).<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">DAMs enable access to approved, up-to-date code, website content, images, etc, saving IT teams time otherwise spent reuploading the \u2018right\u2019 assets, while reducing the risk of error.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-968fbbf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"968fbbf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-76835246\" data-id=\"76835246\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d80c26f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1d80c26f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">MAM Use Cases<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b83bcb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b83bcb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Media Asset Management is applicable to more dynamic media post-production teams as they help to manage the post-production process more efficiently.
