Brandfolder Named a Strong Performer in Digital Asset Management Report by Independent Research Firm

Smartsheet, the enterprise platform for dynamic work, announced enhancements to its solution for marketers including new integration capabilities with Brandfolder, Smartsheet’s digital asset management platform. Enhancing the functionality between Smartsheet and Brandfolder helps marketers better manage their work, content, and people—from ideation to execution.

“Using siloed marketing systems has been the status quo for years. But with more pressure to deliver quality content at a higher frequency, implementing a unified content lifecycle management system that tracks both content and the work around that content is essential”

Marketers and creatives are faced with an influx of content requests across more channels than ever before on a global scale, but without a solution to manage or store this content, 40% of organizations report difficulty finding their digital assets. Instead of using an average of more than 12 tools to manage campaigns, marketers need a unified solution from campaign workflow to content storage. “Using siloed marketing systems has been the status quo for years. But with more pressure to deliver quality content at a higher frequency, implementing a unified content lifecycle management system that tracks both content and the work around that content is essential,” said Ben Canning, Senior Vice President, Product Management at Smartsheet. “By seamlessly combining a market-leading work management platform with an intuitive digital asset management solution, marketers and creatives can harness a powerful platform to create the impactful work that builds their brand.” Read More: UJET Ranked #1 in Both Enterprise and Mid-Market User Satisfaction For Contact Center Operations
