Advertising
Rich media, especially video is the key to engaging audiences.
eMAM provides powerful tools for the creation and publication of digital assets.
Each client can have their own historical and current online digital library of content for use or reference in current projects. Authorized eMAM users can create projects or suggest elements to the producers and editors. Editors can use eMAM for review and approval processes.
After editing is finished, eMAM provides tools for sending links by branded mixed media emails or to publish to websites or social media.
eMAM also manages the native resolution content, whether on premise, on location, in the cloud, or in the archive. It can deliver the ads, campaigns, or other content to international markets with conversion to the correct formats in the correct local languages.
Asset access and permissions are tightly controlled at the (sub) category level and linked with allowed user groups defined in the system or by active directory/LDAP. Members of the Coke marketing user group would never realize that Pepsi content is held in the same system.
Brand Managers
eMAM powers an online digital library. Access is tightly controlled at the (sub) category level, so affiliates would only see approved assets, while internal staff and agencies could use the same system to collaborate and develop the digital media-unapproved assets. Approvals can then trigger processes, such as automatic sharing to the affiliates.
As an online system, eMAM can be a single point of truth for brand protection and marketing communication. Authorized users can use any browser or iPad or Android tablets to access and use the content. Downloads or digital delivery can be facilitated by cloud or CDN storage.
eMAM manages the native resolution content in the any storage location, in the cloud, or in the archive. It can send product information, digital assets, pricing, and other information to authorized recipients, or they can log into the system to find the content directly.

Stakeholders worldwide can be granted limited access to the system. Alternatively, staff can send mixed media emails to individuals or to entire groups. Regulatory or investor filings, quarterly reports, conference call recordings, and speeches from the board can be easily distributed worldwide. Worldwide downloads can be allowed if the system also uses CDN or cloud storage buckets.
All activities in the system are tracked for each user and each asset to provide a complete compliance trail.
Corporate Communication
Digital assets are the key assets of many modern organizations. eMAM provides a powerful centralized platform for sharing and distributing the key messages of the organization.
