Did you know: you can access your DAM via a Chrome extension

You can now access Bynder’s UCV (Universal Compact View) via a Google Chrome extension. Here’s more info in the Knowledge Base. It brings your assets and collections (and derivatives!) to wherever you’re working without needing to switch to a separate browser to login and search for assets. It’s SO easy to set up- took me less than 20 seconds.

Video: The 15 metrics most critical to DAM success

Earlier this Fall I posted about a presentation I was putting together called ‘The 15 metrics most critical to DAM success’ and asked for the Community to weigh in, and some of you did! That was really helpful and interesting to get different perspectives on which metrics you find most valuable for your DAM. Here is the video recording of that session I did with Henry Stewart. If you get a few minutes, give it a watch so we can hear what you think and which metrics stand out to you!

DAM and cloud storage - how are they different? How do they work together?

DAM plus cloud storage. Is it one or the other? Or is it greater than the sum of its parts?  This article highlights a few key differences between DAM and cloud storage solutions (like Google Drive, Box, or Dropbox). A few items stood out to me to differentiate the two: Focus- I love this: “Cloud storage primarily focuses on the user, while a DAM system focuses more on the assets themselves”. With cloud storage, the user defines most of the sharing and rights, naming, etc. but DAM puts the asset at the center: based on data about your assets, the right people automatically have the right access.  Metadata- With DAM, the structured application of data about your assets allows for more flexibility in searching, greater insights about the assets you actually have (and use), and easier content management. Metadata also allows you to link and relate assets that are otherwise lost to each other, saving time and money to reproduce content you might already have on hand.  Automation - Because

Streamlining and creating efficiencies in your DAM, have you thought about ....

DAM is a critically important technology in your marketing ecosystem driven by the exponential growth of content.Whether you have a DAM as a brand portal for users to access assets, it's part of a broader content operation to speed up execution and time to market - or if your DAM is the system of record for a complex connected ecosystem, you've made a great investment.As you continue to drive adoption of your DAM with your current use case, you should also consider ways to drive even more value. Think about your current pain points, how you'll benefit from solving them and what it would take to get there. You may be doing the same repetitive task manually, like updating assets on your website, and it's time consuming.What if you could streamline that task and work more efficiently by automatically delivering optimized assets? How you'd get there? Integrate with your CMS and consider Bynder's Dynamic Asset Transformation.If you don't know how to start thinking about the opportunities yo

New feature release: Smart filters are now much faster!

We are so excited to share that the Smart filter performance just got an upgrade! The Smart filters of the type smart-single (those that have multiple lists) will now load and open faster. What’s changed? Essentially it looks and behaves the same, but now you won’t experience a delay in opening your Smart Filters. We revamped part of the back-end and front-end to load options beforehand, resulting in a speedy page load and instant open. Under certain conditions, it took 8 seconds to load a Smart Filter. We’ve reduced that to instantly, to help increase our user's productivity.Why? We know that delays in Smart Filter performance have been causing headaches and slowed loads and we wanted you to have a better experience! It was more than that initial click of opening a Smart Filter. When users would do ‘clear filters’, re-opening the Smart Filter would again lead to a wait. Another reason we took into account is the growing amount of metadata that we see customers wanting to store inside

Use case review: Give more users access to your DAM to find and download files

If you're looking for a way to get even more value from Bynder, here's a simple recommendation: give more users access to your DAM to find and download files. It could be users from within your organization, third party partners and distributors or both. More users drive ROI. Here's why:Improved collaboration: if everyone knows exactly where to access assets from, you can reduce administrative tasks and streamline your processes. Your teams can work smarter and find assets faster, saving them valuable time. Consolidate systems: having different teams on different systems is inefficient and creates silos. Bringing more users onto Bynder can help ensure you don't have redundant systems - and that you're not spending money on something else you don't need. Brand consistency: having a system of record where all of your users can easily access finished assets ensures that your team isn't looking for logos "in the wild". Think: if someone on your team doesn't know where to find your logo, th

Saving costs, diversifying creator base with Studio

Hey everyone,  Last week the Bynder team did a webinar centered around our Studio product. We covered:Trends in content creation that we’re hearing, specific to the present moment as brands close out 2022, focus on 2023, with the backdrop of a tougher economy and constrained resources. What we hear most often is an objective to reduce agency spend, consolidate systems, and diversify the content creator base. Down economy or not, brands still need to personalize to their most valuable customer segments…its just that now, in order to get there, many brands are reimagining their content creation process.  A business case for Bynder DAM + Studio put together earlier this year by GoHealth (image below). They highlighted the need to better enable stakeholders, open up bandwidth for new strategic initiatives, and avoid the need for additional resources. They estimate Studio will reduce the # of creative requests they get by 31%, and that DAM + Studio will allow them to avoid making a full tim

Integrating your DAM, have you considered DAT?

If you're reading this, I'd be willing to bet you have a website. Or maybe multiple websites. And that you're also serving content to multiple channels beyond your website, like social channels or email. If you haven't yet integrated other systems in your marketing tech stack to your Bynder DAM, there are countless benefits to making those connections. Not least of which, is that automating these processes will help you work more efficiently - we know that is always important but it's especially important in a time like now when everyone is looking to do more with less.Some of you need to scale in the most cost effective way possible; others aim to be more efficient in places you've already invested in. Either way, integrating is something you should consider.On top of that, if you use Bynder's Dynamic Asset Transformation to automatically serve optimized, highly performant images to your website, not only will you gain operational efficiencies by saving time on things like development

Are you getting the most out of your DAM investment?

There's so much value in having a DAM and we've heard from many of you that they have confidence in the return you're getting on your investment in Bynder.If you're reading this, you likely have a key role in getting the most value from the DAM at your organization so you'd probably be interested to know that we've also heard from our customers that when faced with some of the challenges of a down economy, they're getting more value from their DAM then ever before.Why? Because when you're facing economic headwinds, you need to do more with less. And you need to work more efficiently and improve collaboration because you may have less budget and resources. Your strategic priorities don't stop and neither does your need to keep your brand consistent across channels and deliver exceptional content experiences to your customers. Bynder helps with scalability, efficiency and business continuity all the time but especially during a challenging time like now. Ways you can get more value:Get m

New feature release: Blend modes in Studio

With Studio, one of the newest features that stands out to me the most is Blend modes! Why? While I am no designer, when I saw a demo of blend modes in action I was in awe. It allows users to make more complex and richer compositions. It also increases your ability to recreate specific effects that originate from other design tools, like Photoshop.What does this mean for you? Users can change the look of their visuals by selecting a blend mode that determines how the colors of a layer blend with colors on underlying layers. This is based on their hue, saturation, luminosity, or a combination of these components. Our Product team is most excited about blend modes because it adds yet another powerful tool that designers and editors are familiar with, unleashing the creative possibilities of Studio…Click here to learn more.With 16 standard blend modes, what amazing designs can you create?

The 15 metrics most critical to DAM success

Hi everyone, I'm doing a session in November for Henry Stewart (hope to see some of you there). It's titled “The 15 metrics most critical to DAM success” - but let me tell you something between me, you, and the community: I don’t have all 15 nailed down yet!! I feel like there are so many to choose from, this will have to be a well curated list. So let me ask openly here: if you were me, what would your top 2-3 be?

Let's enjoy the roadmap

There’s a lot of cool stuff on Bynder’s product roadmap. Let’s talk about it! I do appreciate the increased transparency around the product development this year, because I often have onboarding clients who want to know when the features they need will happen, but also because I just enjoy thinking about and using new features myself.  Anyway the in process roadmap item I’m most hype for is the integrations with Google Drive, Box and Dropbox. Tile for new cloud storage options: google drive, box, dropboxIf an onboarding client doesn’t already have another DAM, they almost always have Dropbox/Box/Drive and ask me if there’s an easy way to migrate assets from all their myriad folders into the DAM. From what I hear the Drive integration will act like a hotfolder: if you put a supported file type in there, Bynder will upload it to the waiting room for approval.There’s a bunch of other integrations on the way too, Hootsuite, Stensul, Sprinklr, and Microsoft Office. At first I wasn’t sure wh

New feature release: Asset Zoom Slider in Collections

Have you heard the news? Asset Zoom Slider is now available in Collections! We checked in with our Group Product Manager, @Laurens Kalf, and here’s what he had to say about this feature release.  There was a big ask from customers to be able to view either smaller or larger 'thumbnails', previews, in the asset overview in the Bynder asset bank. The reasons for this were different per customer. Some of them wanted to be able to see more, smaller, assets in one glance. Other customers actually wanted to be able to see more detail on their images as they scrolled through their asset bank. Therefore we introduced this functionality first for the asset overview. The response we got was very positive! Thanks to the positive customer reactions, we decided to bring this feature to collections as well since we got feedback from customers that they would like to leverage this same functionality in collections. So I'm excited that we have been able to bring this innovation that is received very w

This year's holiday campaigns, is it too early to start planning?

Hey everyone, it's been a little while so I thought I'd check in about the holidays. Yes, the holidays. And yes, in the middle of the summer. For some people it might seem weird to be thinking about the holiday season in August. But I'm sure many of you are already in the thick of it because of all the planning and coordination that goes into your holiday campaigns. In fact, I'm sure a lot of you are not only thinking about it right now but are deep in execution. With the growing number of channels and touch points where you want to reach your customers, there's a lot going on. You have the creative part of the campaign that needs to cut through the noise and win the mindshare (and hearts) of consumers - and we know that tons of work goes into that. Then there's figuring out how to take your concept and make it a reality. To do this, you need to create personalized content at scale and deliver exceptional content experiences, all in a way that drives speed of execution, scale, time to

Queensland Health leveraging Bynder during Covid-19

We recently published this Bynder customer story for Queensland Health, a healthcare provider in the APAC region. It’s amazing to see the efficiencies and savings their team has introduced, but doubly inspiring is the speed of execution they achieved during critical Covid-19 moments. Here’s my favorite exceprt:“Recently, we had a photo and video shoot where kids were getting their vaccines for the first time. We were able to share the photos and video interviews with hospitals across the state on the very same day. So Bynder has really made it more accessible for our stakeholders to get information and assets quickly.”Better collaboration” - Rohan Young, Creative Team Lead Who else leveraged Bynder for a Covid-19 related initiative?

DAT has a new UI

I am obsessed with the new DAT (Dynamic Asset Transformation) UI. It just launched this week, and it lives in the asset detail view under “transformations.”  Look how easy this is. Just “add transformation” on the sidebar, fiddle around with the settings, and instantly get the preview and the DAT live link below.I know most of my onboarding clients just want to crop and resize to a focal point (DAT does this on the fly where automated derivates cannot), but the Bynder devs added so many fun transformations, it’s tempting to use them at once and commit crimes against design like this one. Screenshot of the DAT transformations UI, with a preview of an asset of a dog sniffing a bananaDAT Link for my dog fine artTalk to your Customer Success Manager if you want to demo or purchase DAT, or if you have the DAT module and need the transformation UI feature turned on in your portal.
