When Distributed Marketing Platforms Outperform DAM Technology

Digital Asset Management systems function well to organize and distribute libraries of marketing assets to distributed teams. However, they often do not meet the larger strategic objectives of Enterprise brands that need to enable and properly equip their local resellers, who market and sell to the end consumer.

Enterprise Brands Turn
to Distributed Marketing Platforms

Distributed Marketing platforms include DAM technology, as well as brand management functionalities

In part, Distributed Marketing platforms include Digital Asset Management technology at its core​. And they ​also incorporate much broader brand management functionality to support use cases that improve speed to market, brand compliance and deliver ​consistent exceptional ​user experiences ​for local customers ​across disparate sales/services arms ​and various ​geographic locations.

Brands that sell their products through local reseller partners or local employees require robust Collaborative Marketing Platform tools, using Distributed Marketing or Through Channel Marketing Automation (TCMA) technology.
