Honoring Jackie Robinson: How a small team’s strategic approach implemented a DAM System worthy of the legacy it honours

October 23, 12:20 PM EDT

As the namesake foundation for Jackie Robinson (the first African American to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era) the Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) is trusted with decades of historic photos, videos and memorabilia.

With just a small (but powerful) team, JRF needed to adopt a thoughtful and systematic approach to its DAM implementation. An approach that would ensure it met the foundation’s needs without imposing an unsustainable burden on its two managers.

La’Tonya Johnson, COO at the Jackie Robinson Foundation, describes the lessons learned and delivers helpful tips on implementing a large DAM with a small team. Including: how to:

  • Take a phased, methodical approach to your DAM implementation.
  • Create a strong DAM foundation that scales as you grow.
  • Leverage AI to get value from your DAM quickly.

A must attend session for all organizations getting ready to implement or revamp their DAM.

What others say

This was my first Henry Stewart DAM Conference in my 15-year career of Digital Asset Management and I am so grateful to David Lipsey and the team for the opportunity to connect with other likeminded individuals and gain more knowledge and use the learnings to bring back to my team. Looking forward to what's to come!

HS DAM events are one of the few opportunities to get together with other DAM professionals, speak to multiple vendors, learn, and make connections.

The HS DAM NYC conference was a great way to learn about new developments in the field, compare practices with colleagues, and make new DAM friends and connections. It was awesome!
