FADEL Announces the Rollout of PictureDesk at Major Publisher, Are Media
NEW YORK (PRWEB) JUNE 12, 2023
Press release from FADEL
FADEL®, innovator of brand compliance and digital rights management software, today announced the rollout of PictureDesk, a high-speed, cloud-based content services platform, for Australia and New Zealand omnichannel content company, Are Media.
Are Media is home to Australia’s most loved and trusted omnichannel brands and communities across the fashion, beauty, home, health, entertainment, and food categories. PictureDesk is used by premier media publishers worldwide including Are Media as a “one-stop shop” for picture researchers.
Are Media now uses PictureDesk to aggregate owned, sourced, and commissioned content, as well as final published content and magazine spreads, into a centralized platform that allows users in various stages of the content lifecycle to easily search, use, and reuse assets.
“Displaying a picture was difficult in our legacy systems and finding them was even more challenging,” explained Angus Chisholm, Senior Business Analyst of Content Systems at Are Media. “PictureDesk quickly rose to the top from the very beginning. Even in our staging library, PictureDesk was faster than anything we had inhouse. Once we moved over to production servers, it was even quicker and more efficient.”
Business wins from the implementation of PictureDesk include:
97% faster response time to upload, display, and download content
Reduced storage by 30% by consolidating two archaic DAMs into a highly intuitive, searchable system
Final content can be sold through a public-facing web front-end, opening up new revenue streams
Ability to organize, store, and syndicate published content and source files for easier reuse and syndication
Can enrich assets with rights information in order to ensure compliance and reduce exposure for the company
Streamlined the monthly processes into weekly processes and gained reporting to optimize operations and finance
“Are Media’s implementation is an excellent example of how PictureDesk provides immediate value by shrinking the time publishers need to locate and clear digital assets for use,” shared Tarek Fadel, Founder and CEO of FADEL. “In addition, as Are Media continues to use PictureDesk, they can look forward to year-over-year returns from new syndication revenues and savings from repurposed content.”
