Are some of your assets sensitive, perhaps embargoed before release? Would a leak negatively impact your brand’s competitive advantage or damage a strategic client relationship? IMATAG's patented invisible watermark makes it possible to know precisely who, where, and how your images and videos are being used, in digital and print.

During this session, IMATAG and integration partner IO Integration will show you how to track your valuable assets during any phase of production and in the wild, after they leave your DAM.

How the Content Gap is Killing Brands - with Celtra
April 14, 2:20 PM

Is the volume of your creative output too low? Does the quality also suffer? Are your campaigns missing launch dates because your content doesn’t match local media plans?
If you responded yes to any of these, then your brand has fallen prey to what Celtra calls “The Content Gap,” the delta between the amount of content brands want to produce and the resources they have available. With climbing content demands and stagnant (or even shrinking) budgets, the gap is growing greater by the day and it’s killing brands. Join this session to learn how to jump out of the channel and format race and start creating at the speed of culture.

Get more out of your DAM: Why your DAM isn’t just a content archive - with Imagen
April 14, 2:50 PM

Think your DAM is just a safe place to store all of your digital assets? Think again. Nowadays, innovative DAMs go beyond the simple organization of content to handling the intricacies of distributing the most complex of corporate assets internally and externally. By managing and sharing all of your digital assets, including video, from one centralized platform, you can:

• Mitigate risk by controlling and managing access to content
• Track and measure usage of your content; and 
• Drive efficiencies though time saved searching for and accessing content

In fact DAMs are increasingly helping organizations manage and protect their corporate reputation and brand image by:

• Supporting good news stories with existing content (internally and externally)
• Enabling the fast delivery of hi res content to broadcasters and  newsrooms 
• Frequent publishing to social media to keep clients and shareholders informed 
• Reinforcing your heritage as part of your PR strategy with your archived content

The Present (and Future) of Intelligent Imagery - with DALIM Software GmbH

Splashlight and Dalim will discuss what they’ve learned in their decade-long tech partnership, and how they’ve created battle-tested software that embeds intelligence at every step – as well as discuss what’s coming next.

Benoit Lagarde, Co-Founder, Splashlight
