You’re Not Ready for a DAM (Unless You Do This First)

You're Not Ready for a DAM (Unless You Do This First)

With the amount of content organizations produce – and the sheer volume of multimedia assets and formats – it’s time to consider a digital asset management system. A DAM can increase production efficiency, enhance cross-team operability, and improve marketing productivity and performance.

Marketers spend over 60% of their time retrieving information or restructuring lost assets and other low-value tasks. Implementing a DAM system may be the best way to reclaim that wasted time.

Yet, two operational challenges often stand in the way of effective implementation. The first is identifying the content processes the DAM should help facilitate. It’s often an overlooked consideration, particularly for businesses without a structured content process or governance strategy.

The second challenge arises in detailing the organizational criteria for a DAM system before completing the complex and time-consuming selection process. How will it be used? Where does it fit in the content workflow? If you don’t have those answers, it’s like shopping for a car without knowing if it will be used to haul bricks or compete in a street race.

If you don’t know your #content processes and organization criteria, it’s hard to make the right DAM system choice, says @joderama via @CMIContent @Aprimo. Click To Tweet

These obstacles – on top of requirements like securing budget approval and executive buy-in, and managing implementation, configuration, and integration – can make the very thought of working with a DAM system too intimidating to consider. But with a little advanced planning and a focused approach, you can lower some of those barriers and speed up your path to realizing the benefits these systems can offer.

Clearing the content tech confusion

At their simplest, DAM systems are used by enterprises to store, organize, and retrieve digital media assets for efficient use across all stages of the content creation lifecycle. They also enable effective governance of those assets by managing the digital rights, access permissions, and other standards established for creating and applying content across all functions of the organization.

Used in tandem with a web content management system (WCM) and/or other marketing automation technology (like email management systems and social media publishing suites), a DAM can make it easier for content creators to locate brand assets like photos, audio and video footage, animations, and other graphics, track changes as they move through production, and ensure they are properly sized, formatted, and tagged for use on chosen distribution platforms and channels.

While definitive statistics on content marketer adoption of DAM systems are hard to come by, it’s logical to assume they are underused, given that CMI’s B2B Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends: Insights for 2022 research found only 49% of marketers say their company uses a content management system (CMS).

Only 49% of #B2B marketers say their company uses a #content management system according to @CMIContent #research via @joderama. Click To Tweet

Yet, CMI’s chief strategy advisor Robert Rose thinks this finding may indicate a fundamental content tech misperception that a DAM system and a CMS are interchangeable: “Companies say they don’t have a CMS. They do – at least when it comes to a system to manage content on their website (e.g., Drupal, WordPress). The confusion occurs because the term ‘content management system’ has become synonymous with digital assets management (DAM).”

While the two technologies have overlapping functions, neither can do the job effectively unless the enterprise aligns on the functions each system facilitates, who will use each, and how each can be used to its potential.

“A website CMS or social media tool typically manages media assets from their finalized state through publication and measurement. Yet, they provide little consistency in how content gets handled across various formats. In contrast, a DAM system is going to provide full process efficiency from the spark of ideation through creation, production, and multi-platform publication, as well as when and where the asset will ultimately be archived for future reuse and repurposing,” Robert says.

As I mentioned, managing those operational considerations is often the biggest challenge when adding any new technology to your content stack. Fortunately, Robert’s exercise below might just save you a world of hurt and hassle.

Right preparation begets increased productivity

To select the right DAM system, you need to know which teams will use it, how they’re going to use it, and what they’ll use it for. That’s a lot of details and variations to sort through, and this is where many organizations trip up before they really get started.

Furthermore, no DAM system will function optimally right out of the box. It must be configured to accommodate your use cases, governance decisions, and team workflows. So, before you begin the purchase process, you need a clear view of the operational considerations and preparation involved to deliver a fully functioning system for your organization.

A DAM system won’t function optimally out of the box. It must be configured to your use cases, governance, and workflow, says @joderama via @CMIContent @Aprimo. Click To Tweet

Here are a few questions to answer:

  • What content materials are required to produce each type of asset (e.g., product descriptions, company boilerplate, images, audio, video, graphics, interactive features)?
  • What strategic purpose(s) will be served by the assets? Internal, external, both?
  • What are the file formats? What internal and external resources and expertise are used to produce them?
  • How will each asset be accessed, processed, and routed? Where might additions or exceptions exist?
  • Should tasks happen concurrently or simultaneously?
  • Who will be accountable for each task? Who else will be involved?
  • What permissions, approvals, and other governance standards are needed before the asset can be published?

It’s enough to make any content manager’s head spin. And all that comes before you even think about the technical considerations, like how asset files will be named, categorized, tagged, stored, and managed for efficient use across teams and functions.

Inventory your operations in 2 steps

To stop your head from spinning, Robert suggests a streamlined operations management approach he uses with his consulting clients. Map the people and processes to produce one type of content for one purpose or part of the customer journey. The insights and information generated can help guide your DAM decision-making process and later expand to accommodate additional content types and purposes once you’ve purchased and are ready to implement a system.

The two parts to this exercise are:

  • Content lifecycle mapping: This ordered list outlines the critical steps and tasks to take a piece of content from ideation to execution. It provides a high-level view of this content type’s workflow as it’s routed through the development lifecycle and details who takes charge of the task at each stage.
  • Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed mapping: This responsibility assignment matrix (aka RACI matrix) identifies all the team members (internal and external) involved in each of the tasks as the leader or a collaborator. It visualizes how team resources are allocated so you can set clear responsibilities around asset management and identify potential areas for restructuring workflow for greater efficiency.

Let’s walk through the process.

Step 1: Identify key points and processes of your workflow

Outline all the tasks involved in creating a type of content. This example illustrates the workflow for a thought leadership e-book. Don’t worry about any special features or add-on tasks that apply under certain circumstances. Focus only on the tasks that typically are involved.

The template encompasses six stages – ideation, planning, creation, production, activation, and measurement. Fill in the main tasks for each stage. Use “who” and “what” tags in the template to determine whether to list the person responsible for managing that task (who) or noting the specific actions and considerations (what) before the content can move into the next stage. This breakdown details the stage-based questions to answer for our thought leadership e-book example:

  • Content ideation: Who generates topics and ideas for the e-book? Who submits the ideas for approval? Does an approved idea align with a content goal? Who collects viable ideas and prepares them to enter the planning process?
  • Planning: Where are viable ideas collected for consideration and prioritization? How are accepted ideas prioritized and approved for assignment?
  • Creation: Who provides the assignment to the creator? What resources are needed to execute it? Who manages the related creation processes (e.g., editing, acquiring permissions, design and layout, final review/approval)? Who shepherds the resulting assets into production?
  • Production: How does production receive the content? What steps turn them into a publication-ready asset (i.e., how you’ll incorporate your e-book into a content marketing campaign)? Who delivers the final campaign assets to the team members involved in activation?
  • Activation: How is the e-book added to the publishing schedule? What else is involved in activating it? Who else needs to be informed when it’s activated in-market?
  • Measurement: What steps are taken to track, analyze, Und report performance? What else needs to happen (e.g., archived for later repurposing by whom and where it is stored)?

You should repeat this process for every type of content produced – and all the assets and campaigns it might be applied to throughout your brand’s content experience. But detailing the workflow for even just one type of asset can surface the answers and information necessary to research, consider, and compare potential DAM solutions.

HANDAUSGEWÄHLTE ZUGEHÖRIGE INHALTE: How To Document Your Content Marketing Workflow

Step 2: Identify roles and responsibilities

Now that you have an overview of the tasks and routing details, you can zoom in on the people who make it happen.

For our e-book example, we’ll use a RACI template (like the sample shown below) to note all the team members who play a role at any stage in the outlined content lifecycle, as well as those who become involved when that content is used for other functions in the enterprise.

LESEN  Fall Guys Season 2: Satellite Scramble Is Ready for Launch on Xbox

This Forbes article provides more detail on RACI charts and how to use them. But for our purposes, the main thing to know is that roles are divided into four categories:

  • Responsible: These team members do the hands-on work – e.g., writing, editing, or designing the e-book, collecting assets and routing them to the appropriate point person, managing production schedules and deadlines, tracking and reporting performance data, etc. At least one person must be listed as responsible for each task, though anyone who actively contributes to that task should be included, too.
  • Accountable: This is the one team member who answers for the proper completion of each task or deliverable. They ensure all prerequisite tasks, standards, and requirements are met. They determine and delegate responsibilities; and deliver any final approvals Note that while only one person should be listed as accountable at each stage, that person may also play a role in other tasks throughout the process.
  • Consulted: These are the subject matter experts, advisory board members, or other parties who may contribute to or collaborate on tasks but don’t hold responsibility for their execution or how they are managed. For example, if a writer regularly consults with a brand team member to ensure they’ve accurately reflected key brand details in the e-book, the branding expert would be listed as a consultant.
  • Informed: If anyone else needs to be looped in on project status or notified when the e-book has been launched into the market (e.g., a sales team contact, a sponsor, an executive stakeholder), list them.

As Robert explains, the columns refer to how common purpose-driven content types created for a specific asset (e.g., an about-our-company-and-products section of copy featured in e-books) might be mapped and managed for other uses (i.e., for thought leadership content marketing efforts, inclusion in a story for marketing, sales sheet, repackaged for ad-hoc needs).

As a bonus, working through this process also helps reveal hidden redundancies and resource deficits that can be addressed to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of your content operations.

For example, you could identify a role overloaded with responsibilities and accountability at certain stages of production that, if rebalanced, could help clear recurring bottlenecks. Or you could discover the workflow doesn’t account for the delivery of an asset to other functional departments that could be resolved by a simple workflow update to ensure smoother cross-team alignment.

HANDAUSGEWÄHLTE ZUGEHÖRIGE INHALTE:

Putting it all together

Mapping these roles and responsibilities across all the functions enterprise-wide helps ensure all the critical players are involved in your DAM decision-making conversations. When combined with the insights collected in the content lifecycle template, you have a high-level understanding of the operational needs to account for when you’re ready to evaluate and compare potential DAM solutions.

For a more comprehensive audit of your content operations, add details for all other content types in these templates. But even if you only have time to work through this abbreviated process, you’ll come away with a solid plan for turning your DAM dreams into an achievable reality.

The immersive event serves as a catalyst for empowering marketers with the latest tools, strategies, and best practices – covering a wide range of topics from generative AI to new campaign goals. Attendees (including Tinuiti’s own expert team) scored a front row seat to valuable marketing insights across Google’s expansive advertising ecosystem.
 

AI Takes Center Stage at #GML2023

 
It goes without saying that AI capabilities took the center stage at Google Marketing Live 2023 with a variety of notable product announcements including:
 

  • Conversational AI Campaign Creation: Exciting developments are taking place in the realm of campaign creation, with a shift towards leveraging conversational AI. This advancement offers advertisers a potent tool to enhance their audience engagement and foster more effective communication.

Google Performance Max: 6 Standout Upgrades for Marketers

 
Google Performance Max campaigns are goal-based, automated campaigns that enable advertisers to promote across all Google networks from the same campaign. Google announced Performance Max campaigns in October 2020 as “a new way to buy Google ads across all our inventory.” 

Performance Max—or PMax, for short—is designed as a complement to your existing keyword-based Search, Shopping and fully-automated campaigns, building on learnings from the latter “to deliver a comprehensive solution that works for all advertisers across a wider range of marketing objectives.”

Per the updates shared during GML 2023, the latest features within Performance Max that we are most excited about include:

  • New customer acquisition with high value optimization goal in Google Ads
  • Access to re-engagement goal for improved retention
  • Test and learn opportunities with custom experiments
  • Improved insights to better understand performance
  • New features within the Ads Creative Studio
  • Generative AI to create text assets and images

 

“These changes create additional ways to leverage Performance Max and make it an even more flexible marketing tool, capable of optimizing towards impactful business objectives. These updates also further solidify the need for advertisers to have robust first-party data / Customer Match infrastructure and execution capabilities.”

Josh Brisco, Group Vice President, Acquisition Media at Tinuiti

 

1. New Customer Acquisition with High Value Optimization Goals in Google Ads

 
What is it? The existing New Customer Acquisition (NCA) works by using first-party data lists to analyze users’ characteristics and then implements the power of AI to predict and find new high value users. This new iteration will allow advertisers to specifically target users who are predicted to have high lifetime values.

How will it benefit marketers? NCA allows marketers to optimize for the highest value new customers, in addition to maximizing their bottom line sales. Overall, this feature (along with many others released at GML 2023) provide marketers with new ways to leverage Performance Max to execute specific business outcomes.

According to Google, NCA leverages data from a variety of sources include customer lists, global site tags Und auto detection to:

  • Grow overall revenue but optimize for conversions from new customers because new customers bring long term revenue to the business.
  • Grow market share with a dedicated budget for customer acquisition either maximizing the number of new customer conversions with a Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) or maximizing the revenue from new customers to also meet near term return of investment (ROI).
LESEN  We're implementing DAM! Where do I start?

 

“As we look to leverage an audience-first approach to Performance Max, advanced functionality as it relates to NCA is an exciting addition. This will allow us to not only focus on new customers, but focus on new customers who can drive the highest value”.

Evan Kirkpatrick, VP, Shoppable Media at Tinuiti

 

2. Access to Re-Engagement Goal for Improved Retention

 
What is it? Google’s re-engagement goal allows marketers to optimize their campaigns to reach customers at every decision-making point in their lifecycle journey. In addition to new customer acquisition, marketers can use re-engagement goals to optimize for other lifecycle stages, like retention and re-engagement of churned customers.

How will it benefit marketers? Google’s re-engagement goal allows marketers to bid more effectively to re-engage lapsed customers, report conversions from lapsed customers directly in the Google Ads UI.

“I’m most excited about the potential for customer reactivation Und lifetime extension. Our job as marketers is not over when the customer comes in the door. As the saying goes, it’s cheaper to keep an existing customer than to get a new one.”

Aaron Levy, VP, Paid Search at Tinuiti

 

3. Test and Learn Opportunities With Custom Experiments

 
What is it? Performance Max Custom Experiments will let you test changes within your Performance Max campaign. This feature helps you A/B test different features, settings, and campaigns to drive improvement. For example, you can test if using a value based bidding strategy for your campaign drives more results for your business.

How will it benefit marketers? When you test different campaign settings, you reach more customers and drive better results quickly and efficiently for your business. You can also use experiments to help you measure the incremental lift of using Performance Max campaigns.

“This will provide an improved way to measure the efficacy of your current Performance Max structures as well as potential improved strategies overall.”

Josh Brisco, Group Vice President, Acquisition Media at Tinuiti

 

4. Improved Insights to Better Understand Performance

 
What is it? According to Google, new insights will highlight additional data on your assets to help marketers better understand their campaign performance. You’ll also get easy-to-apply recommendations on how to improve your assets. 

Additionally, search term insights will now include historic insights and insights for custom date ranges. You’ll also be able to download your Search term insights and access them in the Google Ads API. You’ll be able to see all your Search term categories now, instead of having some listed as uncategorized.

How will it benefit marketers? Google’s improved insights will provide information on which assets are or are not resonating with a given audience, provide potential suggestions on better creative, and will call out any missing asset types.

“The more data we can get from the black box, the better. These changes should help inform advertisers how optimize their PMax campaigns for maximum effect” – Josh Brisco, Group Vice President, Acquisition Media at Tinuiti

“We’re cautiously excited about this one. Performance Max has a ton of potential as a research testing ground. Ultimately, the more insights we can get access to, the more we can use that data to amplify additional marketing efforts.” Aaron Levy, VP, Paid Search at Tinuiti
 

5. New Features Within the Ads Creative Studio

 
What is it? Ads Creative Studio is a creative management platform designed for creative teams to build ads, manage creative assets, and share them with media teams. Ads Creative Studio can improve collaboration and transparency between your creative and media teams and help you create effective ads with more efficiency and scale.

How will it benefit marketers? Thanks to the preview and export feature, marketers will be able to see best practices and specifications to ensure that creative is set up for success ahead of deployment. New insights in Ads Creative Studio will also provide information about trends within Search. This supplementary tool will give marketers exploratory access to the latest and greatest Search data to help plan and develop future creative.
 

6. Generative AI To Create Compelling Text Assets and Images

 
What is it? With the revamped asset creation flow in Performance Max campaigns, marketers can harness the power of Google AI to curate and generate high-quality text and image assets.

According to Google, this Generative AI feature can easily create compelling creative assets to be implemented in Performance Max campaigns. 

Here’s a closer look on how it works:

Credit: Google

 

How will it benefit marketers? Setting up Performance Max campaigns can feel overwhelming due to the necessary content and imagery. The inclusion of a helpful feature that provides assistance and even generates new creative is a valuable addition, guaranteed to save advertisers precious time and resources. Adding a diverse range of assets and keeping them fresh over time can help improve results by maximizing the eligibility to serve on a full range of ad inventory.

“AI Generating Performance Max is an exciting new feature that can boost our creativity and give us new opportunities to develop effective PMax campaigns. Based on our findings, brands that include the suggested 20 image ads and 5 videos per asset category see a +10% boost in conversions. So this functionality can be useful for brands that are having trouble reaching the recommended levels.”

Courtney O’Donnell, Senior Director, Shoppable Media at Tinuiti

“Visual creative has long been a neglected part of the SEM ecosystem; this new tool will enable advertisers to test far more iterations of creative while greatly reducing the burden on creative teams.”

Aaron Levy, VP, Paid Search at Tinuiti

 

Google Ads Campaign Types: Introducing Video Views and Demand Generation

 

7. Video View Campaigns

 
What is it? Video View Campaigns are designed to maximize views. According to Google, a study revealed that advertisers using Video View Campaigns experienced an average of 40% more views at comparable costs compared to in-stream skippable CPV campaigns.

How will it benefit marketers? These campaigns leverage a range of formats, including skippable in-stream ads, in-feed ads, and Shorts ads, to optimize budget allocation and achieve optimal results. Video Views can also combine 3 formats in a single campaign for a single goal.
 

8. Demand Generation Campaigns

 
What is it? Demand Generation campaigns leverage AI to engage and drive action with consumers. These campaigns work across a variety of placements including YouTube in-feed, YouTube Shorts, YouTube in-stream, Discovery Feed and Gmail. 

How will it benefit marketers? At Tinuiti, we are eagerly awaiting more info on Demand Generation campaigns, but it seems like this feature has great potential to help advertisers more readily access the mid and upper funnel inventory that Google has to offer.

“We’re interested to see if this will be similar to Performance Max in that it will be used in addition to existing campaign types not instead of. Or, will it replace much of how we buy YouTube today?”

Courtney O’Donnell, Senior Director, Shoppable Media at Tinuiti

We expect more details will be shared on this specific campaign type at Cannes 2023. 

“As we continue to see the evolution of AI driven campaigns across various inventory types, having an audience-first approach and strong creative to match are going to be keys for success in driving action from the consumers.”

Brian Binder, Senior Director, Programmatic at Tinuiti


 

Additional Noteworthy GML 2023 Announcements

 

9. Google Search Generative Experience (SGE) Integration With Search, Shopping

 
What is it? Google is currently conducting experiments to seamlessly integrate Search and Shopping ads directly into the AI snapshot and conversational mode. SGE has the opportunity to create customized ad experiences (across Search and Shopping) that align with the user journey.

While Google has not disclosed specific metrics like CTR for these SGE (Search, Shopping, and Google Express) ads due to their experimental nature, they offer immense potential. It’s important to note that since this feature is still in its early stages, there is currently no option to opt in or out of ads appearing in SGE.

 

How will it benefit marketers? Google’s AI integration with Search and Shopping provides marketers with an opportunity to drive more engagement and visibility of their ads. The new Search Generative Experience (SGE) can be found in Search Labs, a new program to access early experiments in Search. Ads that show up as a part of this experiment will be from existing Google Ads campaigns.

Want to give generative AI in Search a try? Tap the “Labs” icon in the Google app or Chrome desktop to express your interest, and visit labs.google.com/search to learn more.

“SGE represents the long awaited manifestation of conversational search and ads on Google’s results page. It will be interesting to see the ways in which this impact how we buy Google Ads”

Josh Brisco, Group Vice President, Acquisition Media at Tinuiti


 

10. Product Studio Leverages AI To Create High-Quality Images

 
What is it? Product Studio is a new suite of free, AI-powered tools available within Merchant Center Next and the Google & YouTube app on Shopify that helps save marketers time and resources  – while helping enhance and create high-quality product images.

How will it benefit marketers? According to Google, these tools can help marketers generate scenes, increase image resolution, and edit backgrounds. Recent data indicates, fresh images may attract more customers when you scale them across various marketing channels. 

 

 

“This was one of the more eye-catching updates of the day and speaks to the importance of leveraging new creative within Google’s suite of ad types. It will be interesting to see how this solution works at scale but it definitely has the potential to open the door to far more creative testing, especially around seasonal campaigns, promotions, and new releases”.

Evan Kirkpatrick, VP, Shoppable Media at Tinuiti


 

11. Google Merchant Center Next Streamlines User Experience

 
What is it? The Merchant Center Next platform gives Google advertisers an opportunity to manage how their products appear across Google, and provides valuable insights about the business, products, and market.

How will it benefit marketers? Google’s latest iteration of Merchant Center offers a more streamlined and user-friendly experience, particularly for newcomers to the channel. 

Notably, the update enables direct product imports from a client’s website, simplifying the process for marketers. Google is also doubling down on Product Merchandising, enhancing the visibility of crucial information such as product pricing, competitiveness, and other relevant data. This update promises to empower advertisers with improved functionality and valuable insights.

“Similar to other feature announcements over the past couple of years – as it pertains to Merchant Center, this change will make it easier for smaller advertisers to get up and running on Shopping. Allowing products to be automatically populated from a merchant’s website is the most notable change, but one that is unlikely to move the needle for larger advertisers. Sophisticated merchants will want to ensure they are still leveraging product feeds to optimize and improve the data for their program, rather than simply relying on the data from the website.”

Evan Kirkpatrick, VP, Shoppable Media at Tinuiti

6 Ways to Use Time Tracker and WordPress Quiz Plugin for Effective eLearning

Time tracking and WordPress Quiz Plugins are an effective way to improve eLearning outcomes. With time tracking, you can measure how much time a student spends on their coursework, allowing you to identify problem areas or gaps in understanding. WordPress Quiz Plugin allows instructors to create quizzes within the platform, which helps students test their knowledge and assess what they have learned. By combining these two tools, educators have a powerful toolkit for optimizing learning experiences and ensuring better performance from their students. As technology continues to change the way we learn, educators are increasingly turning to innovative tools to improve eLearning outcomes.

One such tool is a combination of time trackers and WordPress Quiz Plugins. By using these two tools together, educators can gain useful insight into how their students are engaging with content, as well as assess what they have learned from the coursework. This combination of tracking and assessment allows for greater optimization of learning experiences and improved performance from students.

Six ways time trackers and WordPress Quiz plugins can be used in eLearning

Combining these two tools allows instructors to access essential data that can help identify areas in which students might struggle and pinpoint what they have learned from coursework. Here are six ways educators can use time trackers and WordPress Quiz Plugins to create effective eLearning experiences:

1. Measure Student Engagement

Time trackers help educators measure their students’ engagement with the course material, allowing them to assess where lessons may need more focus or attention. Instructors may also be able to identify gaps in understanding by determining how much time a student spends on particular topics or tasks. This data is invaluable for optimizing the learning experience and helping ensure better performance from students.

Time trackers allow educators to monitor overall course time as well as time spent on particular sections of the curriculum to gain a better understanding of how effectively their students are engaging. WordPress quiz plugin is also useful for measuring student activity, giving educators the ability to see when and how often students are completing quizzes or assignments related to the course. By taking advantage of time trackers and WordPress Quiz plugins, teachers can closely evaluate student engagement with their eLearning program.

2. Create Assessments

WordPress Quiz Plugin allows instructors to easily create quizzes within the platform, giving them an effective way to test their students’ knowledge and gauge what they have learned from the coursework. By combining these results with time tracking, instructors can get a full picture of their students’ progress throughout the duration of the course.

Creating assessments for an online learning platform can be time consuming and tricky. Luckily, time trackers and WordPress Quiz plugins can help simplify the process and make it easier to create accurate assessments. Time tracking allows you to accurately record time spent on projects, while WordPress Quiz plugins provide customized quiz-building capabilities. With these together, it’s now possible to quickly and efficiently create powerful assessments in no time! These advancements have helped revolutionize the eLearning industry by making creation time less time consuming so that more value can be placed on continued learning instead of assessment creation.

3. Track Learning Progress

By keeping track of how much time each student spends on specific tasks or topics, educators can observe changes in learning progress over time. This insight helps them create tailored approaches to teaching that better support each individual student’s needs, allowing for greater optimization of learning experiences for everyone involved.
