Unleash Creativity Across your Organization with Digital Asset Management Templating

Is your creative team overwhelmed? Are your marketing campaigns delayed? Are your sales teams compromising brand integrity to meet targets? With DAM templating, these challenges will be a thing of the past.

Let me explain.

Implementing digital asset management templates drastically enhances your team’s efficiency by providing a repository (in the DAM) of customizable, pre-approved, on-brand templates (with the templating solution). These templates allow creative teams to produce adaptable, brand consistent materials swiftly, addressing each department’s unique needs.

Departments across your organization can access and modify necessary assets directly through the DAM, integrating them effortlessly into their projects. This not only streamlines workflows but also promotes a culture of innovation and collective creativity.

By ensuring organization-wide access to on-brand assets and customizable templates, you can maximize the creativity of your entire organization without compromising brand integrity.

How Does DAM Templating Work?

Embedded within the DAM platform, DAM Templating puts adaptable templates in a separate tab within your DAM so you don’t need to navigate to another platform. Teams can quickly and easily navigate to the templates library and utilize them for their specific needs. Templates can be created for pitch decks, business cards, brochures, social posts, and more.

1. Access templates conveniently through a dedicated tab within your DAM,
2. Effortlessly utilize assets stored within your DAM directly in your templates,
3. Quickly customize templates with approved assets for specific needs,
4. Easily customize text and tailor the copy to personalize templates, and
5. Share and distribute templates directly from the DAM library!

In-house creative teams can easily design adaptable templates from scratch or utilize existing collateral as a foundation. These templates are readily accessible to other departments, allowing them to customize content to their specific needs with ease.

How DAM Templating Benefits Organizations

Digital asset management templating makes it easy for teams to harness their creativity by enabling instant access to all approved, on-brand assets and seamlessly use them within any approved template.

Streamlining Material Creation

Creative teams are stretched across multiple team needs, making it challenging to prioritize tasks and projects.

DAM Templating enables teams with standardized templates for commonly requested assets, such as business cards and pamphlets allowing them to self serve simple design requests.

Not only does this improve delivery of requested digital assets and branding materials, it saves your creative teams time, and enables them to focus on more strategic work.

Ensuring Uniformity and Compliance

Most customers will meet a brand on multiple different platforms which means uniformity and brand compliance are key. In fact, brands that follow through on consistent brand identity can increase revenue by 33%.

DAM templating can ensure uniformity and secure sensitive content. Specific elements within these templates can be locked, maintaining a standardized layout throughout all materials.

An established approval workflow ensures that all materials are thoroughly reviewed for accuracy before being disseminated, making it seamless to manage and distribute information effectively.

Accelerating and Enhancing Marketing Reach

According to DemandSage, 43% of marketers struggle to create high quality visual content. Yet, visual content can increase website traffic by up to 12%.

DAM templating can enable staff across departments and locations to effortlessly find and customize these templates to suit specific campaign objectives. This not only enhances the relevance and appeal of the campaigns but also ensures consistent and efficient distribution across multiple marketing channels.

Organizations looking to accelerate and extend the reach and impact of their marketing campaigns can do so by enabling seamless access to on-brand templates. This integrated approach amplifies campaign reach while maintaining brand integrity throughout all promotional activities.

Optimizing Marketing and Sales Collateral Creation

The HubSpot State of Sales Report, 2023 found that more than 50% of sales leaders use sales enablement content, and 79% say these materials are essential for making a sale. Yet, creating on-brand sales enablement content can be a slow process, impacting the sales process and its success.

By centralizing essential branding assets, templating capabilities enable marketing teams to develop consistent, on-brand templates for a wide range of materials, including brochures and sales presentations. Sales representatives can easily customize these templates to suit specific customer and prospect needs, inserting relevant assets directly from the DAM.

This customization helps tailor messaging and content to specific customer segments, boosting engagement and allowing for the tracking of asset performance to refine future strategies.
