Mark Drury Taylor is the Executive Creative Director and founding partner of the advertising agency and production company Awesomesauce. 

Reto is Director of Engagement Management at Tenovos, a key member of the Professional Services team. An experienced leader and trusted advisor, he brings cross-functional expertise, guiding executives and teams to achieve strategic outcomes.

Reto has more than 15 years of experience implementing enterprise business applications for Global 1000 clients, specializing in business process automation to help organizations improve efficiency and deliver measurable results.

Carol is the VP of Digital Asset Management for Synchrony and brings with her over 26 years of experience in DAM. She leads the management, strategy, governance and integration of the DAM within the organization’s ecosystem to drive efficiencies, value and automation within the MarTech stack.

Carol has a strong passion for technology and concentrates most exclusively within the DAM and structured content world. Her diversified background helps her provide ideas and solutions for unusual challenges. 

As organizations mature in their digital asset management (DAM) journey, many have streamlined upstream creative processes—review cycles, approvals, and asset creation. But what about the marketing & distribution processes after an asset is finalized?

Downstream business processes—campaign creation, distribution and publishing, archiving, and retention—are still too often manual, difficult to scale, and unable to support time-to-market deadlines. If these workflows aren't efficient, your DAM investment is falling short of its potential.
