Previous Challenges

Stage Entertainment is passionate about theatre and top-quality productions. High-resolution images, artwork and videos are essential when promoting their productions. However, when it came to managing their digital assets, Stage Entertainment faced a number of challenges. Their previous ‘digital library’ was no longer up to standard, and it was not flexible enough to meet current demands for sharing content.

Because of the outdated folder structure of the media file archive, it took too much time and effort to find the correct image, logo, artwork or video file. The management of their digital assets resulted in inefficiency, brand inconsistency and time loss. In order to solve these ‘pain points’, Stage Entertainment was searching for a new, all-in-one solution that would allow them to store, find and share digital media quickly and efficiently at any time across the globe.
