In this blog post we take a look at the state of affairs in Asia Pacific in particular, and how a DAM system has helped customers overcome a number of challenges. Also, we invite you to join 2 upcoming events in this region: the free Henry Stewart DAM Asia Pacific event, and an upcoming webinar featuring Australian content agency Medium Rare.
Business efficiency and speed to market have become crucial success factors for companies. However, many are not ready to deal with the steep increase in the use of digital assets such as images, video and more, which are needed to communicate with today’s demanding end users.
Choosing a modern, scalable and flexible digital asset management (DAM) solution can be one of the best business innovation and investment decisions to streamline your operations. A well-integrated DAM can take care of storage, retrieval and usage of your digital assets at any point in your business operations.

Creative Agencies’ Winning Recipe
In Sydney, we caught up with Karla Courtney, Digital Director of Medium Rare Content Agency and her team’s winning approach in enabling major brands’ storytelling approach to connect with their customers. The key takeaway is the agency’s success by integrating WoodWing Assets’ DAM for image storage and sharing into their workflow.
One may not know what is the next platform du jour, but as Karla says, “ensuring that your assets are future proof, with right metadata that sits in a location that’s easy to share and partnership with a company that thinks about how to share these data to the platforms as quickly as they come up” is the most important thing.
Medium Rare is sharing their agency’s top tips on Content Orchestration in this on-demand webinar.
Future-proofing Your Business
Other success stories from one of our Asia-Pacific partners, Creative Folks, has come in the form of workflow integration for companies of diverse backgrounds but similar needs for automation. These are two successful stories where WoodWing Assets has saved the day for their clients:
- Ed Leong, Chief Transformation Officer of Harrier National, had a problem. The established NSW-based automotive brand had grown to include New Zealand but had run into a brick wall to improve their Customer Experience. A total overhaul was needed to adapt Harrier National’s need for speed in business operations. As the company committed to a software and technology transformation, an integrated cross-system functionality platform powered by WoodWing Assets increased visibility of their contact information.

Her need to integrate data and images from hundreds of suppliers into a single catalogue promoting their stores was prescribed a tri-phase integration process. By integrating Salesforce with WoodWing Assets DAM, Wizard transformed its business operations by creating a single source of truth that enabled “products (to be) quickly and accurately promoted online at the same time it is placed on the shelf.”
