Written by Kajsa Leed | 19-05-2020

Social media is an important part of the marketing strategy and an essential everyday tool to reach the target audience. Companies invest significant resources, time, money and creativity into creating and distributing content across multiple platforms. However, achieving a solid return on investment (ROI) can be challenging when facing intense competition and constantly evolving algorithms.

The good news! Integrating a Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution into your social media content management strategy can be a game-changer, optimizing costs and maximizing ROI like never before. 

In this blog post, we'll explore five key aspects of how a well-integrated DAM can help you cut costs and achieve a higher ROI on your social media content.

Automation

An average employee spends as many as 3 days per week on manual or repetitive tasks. With automated workflows in a DAM, your team can devote time and resources more effectively to handle these tasks.

Instead of logging into each social media platform individually, a DAM allows you to streamline the process by pushing content directly to multiple channels, saving time and ensuring consistency.


Different formats

Social media channels have unique image and video size requirements, making resizing content for each platform time-consuming. Imagine the hours spent resizing images for numerous LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Instagram posts weekly. 

A DAM solution simplifies this process by uploading the original image and using pre-determined templates for every channel. Turning hours of resizing into minutes, and save valuable time for other essential tasks. 

Brandwatch integration

Integrating Brandwatch with your DAM improves social media monitoring and analytics, providing deeper insights into audience behavior and campaign performance. This streamlines management of all channels and campaign planning, ensuring accuracy, control over content integrity, and improved efficiency over time.

Reuse of content and centralized storage

A DAM serves as a centralized repository for all your digital assets, enabling easy access and reuse of content across multiple campaigns and channels. Leverage existing assets instead of creating new content from scratch, saving time and money. Centralized storage also ensures version control and compliance with brand guidelines, minimizing errors and inconsistencies.

Campaign Management

Campaign management involves multiple stakeholders which can cause version control chaos. A streamlined solution is essential to avoid confusion and endless correction rounds, like renaming files to "campaign_final_final.pdf."

A DAM streamlines the entire process, from planning to analysis, efficiently coordinating team efforts, tracking progress, and boosting social media campaign success. This cut costs and is maximizing marketing effectiveness.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a well-integrated DAM solution can significantly reduce costs and improve ROI for your social media content. By leveraging automation, optimizing content distribution and with the power of data analytics, you can stay ahead of the competition and achieve greater success in your digital marketing activities.
