Frequently asked questions

What is digital asset management and why is it important?

Simply, DAM software provides users with easy access to everything they need to create consistent, on-brand content. Time is so often wasted finding an asset, let alone ensuring it’s the most up-to-date version, or if it’s in the correct format. This lack of overall control can lead to duplication of media, branding issues and unprofessional inconsistencies - let alone a few headaches!

With a digital asset management tool, your staff and partners have a central location in which to quickly and easily find and then use digital assets. You slash approval times, you can fully control your brand, you can share assets at high speed (even out of hours) and you can create global, multilingual, branded resource pools.

Do I need digital asset management software?

Who manages a digital asset management system?

That really depends on the size of your team. Some companies may have a dedicated Digital Asset Manager, or a Digital Asset Archivist, while managing the DAM system may also fall within the remit of a Marketing, Comms, Brand or Design Manager.

Ideally, you’ll have someone in a marketing, creative, or IT role at the helm, keeping things organised and running smoothly. They’re the ones setting up metadata, managing user permissions, and making sure everyone knows how to use the system properly. But it’s not just down to one person - teams like design, or brand management - even sales! - often pitch in, uploading assets, tagging them, and ensuring everything stays up-to-date. Think of it as a team effort to keep the system shipshape and working for everyone.

I know I need a DAM system; how can I convince the rest of the team?

The internal pitch for onboarding new software and rolling it out across the team can be a whole project in itself. To help you on that journey, we’ve created a guide for Solving MarTech Adoption: From Resistance to Results.
