Delivering high-quality content at scale requires more than just the right tools—it demands a connected and strategic approach. 

The response:
How to build a seamless content supply chain that integrates planning, budgeting, asset management, approvals, and publishing in a unified workflow. 

Context:

Fanatics has transformed its approach to digital asset management by focusing on self-service, adaptability, and data unification.

It has done so while managing over 10 million assets and supporting 700 internal users, plus external retail and wholesale partners.

What we did:

Metadata matters because it gives structure and meaning to data associated with all that we do in our business and personal transactions. It records:

• Where your content came from.
• To whom the content belongs.
• Where your content is going.
• How the content may be used. 

Metadata is the foundation supporting your content – without it, your digital assets might be inaccessible, and your DAM useless.

With video taking center stage in content strategies, many organizations are asking: How do we manage it effectively in our DAM?

A session devoted to answering your questions.

This dynamic, interactive panel is all about tackling your challenges, your concerns, your wish for answers. 

The expert panel is here to provide the insights you seek - fully prepared for questions about:

Launching a MAM and a Golf League - Simultaneously

At TMRW Sports, we needed to address the growing challenge of implementing a new MAM. Largely to deal with where to put the 20,000 assets but mainly to ensure we were able to reach the growing demand from launching a new sports league, TGL, across multiple broadcasting platforms. 

Delivery required several key challenges to be met - all within 120 days.  

Challenges and objectives: 

We bring together key voices of DAM to talk openly about the DAM space, its evolution, its direction of travel. We’ll include insights, strategies, and take-home messages.

This is YOUR panel – a chance to analyze and evaluate. The panel members will interact with you, and so bring your burning questions, your thoughts, and opinions.

This is a great opportunity to engage with some of those leading the DAM conversation.

Paramount’s DAM system currently hosts over 6 million unique assets, and that number is continually increasing.

The process encompasses every stage from receiving physical deliverables and rehousing materials to scanning, appending metadata, and uploading assets.

Each step is meticulously designed to enhance searchability within the DAM system, ensuring seamless access for both internal and external stakeholders.

Developing a connected content strategy is no simple task. It typically involves business teams rather than cybrarians or IT specialists.

Aligning the content strategy with the overarching corporate strategy often proves more challenging than expected, especially when faced with frequently vague corporate strategies and the need to address rapidly changing content needs.

Time to have some lunch and visit the exhibition.
