MM5.6 Major New Features

5.6.0

The latest edition of Digizuite’s Media Manager – version 5.6 – has officially been released.

This version of the Media Manager has updates that improve user experience and provide more brand control over the look and feel of your Media Manager for both internal and external users.

These features include the Digizuite brand portal, Collections enhancements, and changes to filtering within the Media Manager.

The Addition of the Brand Portal

This version of the Digizuite Media Manager introduces the brand portal – a feature of the platform that enables users to create different visual layouts of the Media Manager for different groups of users.

Each user interface created is a virtual space that contains a very specific collection of assets for assigned users. Each portal view can be created with a unique aesthetic. These views can also be branded to give users a more personalized experience with the DAM. Through different brand portal views, companies can showcase assets in ways that are most relevant to each individual user as they interact with the Media Manager.

In layman’s terms, if your Digizuite Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution were a machine, the brand portal allows that machine to run more smoothly and with a polished, customized look. It is a feature of the Digizuite DAM that enables enterprises to provide multi-brand experiences from one central hub.

 

Above is a brand portal configuration designed for users of the company Tonal Music (a musical equipment reseller). This particular portal was designed specifically to showcase assets related to the single brand, Yamaichi.

 

The brand portal is set up to create different schemes of Media Manager for different purposes. It is a branding tool that allows users to organize brand assets in one personalized location.

Customizable elements for each UI configuration include:

  • Hero banners (which can be created with any uploaded image in the Media Manager)

  • Font type

  • Logos

  • Theme colors

  • Fonts

  • Asset cards

  • Layout of folders and assets within folders

For ultimate ease-of-use, brand portal administrators can create new brand portal styles with one click of a button that is displayed on their Media Manager.

 

How does the brand portal create value for customers?

 

  • As an asset showroom: Each brand portal view functions as one place where users expressly see the assets they need based on campaign, product, brand. With tailored showrooms, users have a more pleasant, simpler experience working with digital assets – making content creation and distribution more straightforward. This leads to time savings and greater content efficiency.

 

  • As a multi-brand management tool: Umbrella organizations with multiple brands can set up a brand portal configuration for each brand. With these unique portal views, brand managers can establish better control over each brand. A dedicated space for each brand enables large, multi-brand companies to reinforce distinct brand messaging and visuals

 

  • As a campaign management tool: A brand portal view can be expressly designated to house all digital assets related to a marketing or promotional campaign. Here lives only the assets that are approved and needed for campaign-specific content. Campaigns can also be product or event specific (see below for the different folders/brand portals for the different brands, campaigns, etc. for Tonal Music).
