How Digital Asset Management Keeps Your Message on Point
We make it look so simple:
An ad for a hot new nearby restaurant pops up on your social feed as you’re leaving work on a Friday night.
You’re spotting ads for the latest phone everywhere, right when you’re debating about an upgrade.
You just decided on a home renovation, and ads for flooring and tools are following you from Facebook to web-browsing to email.
Marketing insiders know exactly what it takes — from strategy to analytics to execution — to get the right message in front of the right person at that decision-making moment. It’s about timely, engaging, relevant messaging. That’s what drives traffic, leads and sales. It’s also why Brands so vigorously protect the integrity and consistency of Brand messaging in local markets, especially when they’re trusting someone else to build and execute their local ads.
Here’s how that has traditionally played out for Brands and their Channel Partners:
- Most Brands depend on their Local Partners to build ads, so they give their Partners detailed, often extensive, Brand guidelines to ensure that Brand standards are met.
- To comply, Partners may hire an outside agency or dedicate internal resources to handle the process of ad building, customization, approval requests and final execution.
- When ads fall short, Brands follow protocol and deny the approval their Partners are required to request. That can literally mean back to the drawing board for the graphic artist or creative technologist working on the ad.
Now, for a Small Business Owner, this can have a significant impact on OpEx. And for Brands, this means a delay in getting your message in market. Not good, considering that timing is everything.
Rising OpEx. Inconsistent execution. Delays in getting ads to market. This is when you need a game-changer, an innovation in marketing technology that covers all the bases and brings added value you hadn’t even considered yet. Today, leading SaaS-based Channel Marketing Automation Platforms are delivering just that, with built-in Digital Asset Management and Ad Builder technology.
