Product Coordinator in Research & Development at Turtle Fur (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use image relay to store all of our marketing assets as well as a variety of other development and production assets. Image Relay provides space to store important assets away from a local server which allows for collaboration, ease of access and minimization of storage strain on local drives.

Pros

Allows easy collaboration
Manages important asset meta data
Extends storage options beyond local drives

Cons

More intuitive search functions
Easier organization of permissions
Better on-going training for new and existing users

Return on Investment

Allowed for digital assets to be shared easily.
Some unintentional access given to outsiders due to permissions defaulting to the folder level (if another folder is added someone could inadvertently give access if this main folder had already been shared).
Search is not super intuitive so sometimes old/outdated assets are taken. This is more of an organization issue, but it still is important since search filters have to be dug for and applied after the initial search.

Cierra Robinson View profile

Brand Marketing Coordinator in Marketing at T-H Marine Supplies, LLC (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Image Relay to organize our creative assets and for easier collaboration working as a fully remote team. We have multiple team members that need to access our large library of assets and a quick way to find what they need. Image Relay makes it easy to tag photos, videos, and deliverables for a quick search. Everything is very customizable so we were able to create tag sets to search our library for specific product shots, lifestyle shots, or even the time of year. This makes it much easier to find the perfect image for creating ads, and updating our catalog, or website. We no longer have to dig through folders and manually search through thousands of assets to find what we need.

Pros

Onboarding
Keeping things simple
Customization
Integrates with Adobe

Cons

The Adobe integration is currently being worked on so I would say that needs improvement but they are already tackling that!
Copy paste feature for metadata

Return on Investment

Find images quickly for last minute creative requests
Collections make it easy to share images with contractors
We can now provide an easier way for freelance photographers to give us their images.

Robert Schiers

Chief of Staff in Marketing at RPM Team Ventures (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Image Relay to store photos and documents for our Licensing, Marketing and Public Relations focused consulting company. Given we have a fairly high number of clients and prospective clients our challenge is keeping a large (and growing) number of files (photos, documents) in one easy-to-mage space where team members can quickly and easily access the data. We are a fast-growing company with a lot of moving parts. Image Relay minimizes confusion, enhances our information security, and makes it easy to store and share critical files.

Pros

Enables us to organize a large number of files in an easy-to-use format
Keeps our files safe. Much of the work we do is private until our partners approve of our marketing going public so file security is critical to our operation.
Image Relay makes it easy for our team to track and access a wide range of files - especially photos and contracts.

Cons

I am hard-pressed to find anything lacking or needs improvement

Return on Investment

It is a huge time saver for our team
It enables us to quickly share information and files internally as well as with customers and vendors externally.
Being able to share files in real-time makes our decision process faster, more accurate, and far more effective.

Amanda Tintaya

Project Manager in Marketing at Shenandoah University (201-500 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Image Relay as a way to hold photos taken across the university. This prevents my office from receiving requests daily to get access to photos for them to use for promotional items. Otherwise, we'd spend all of our time getting photos for other employees to use. This allows a hands-off approach and a platform to easily access what you need, even if you aren't in the communications and marketing office.

Pros

Expiration Capability
Search Capability
User Friendly

Cons

Tagging people in photos
Way to connect name changes (ex. when the name of an office changes)

Return on Investment

Time saver due to requests for assets
Expiration feature allows us to be mindful of how old a photo is before use

Sebastien Michaud

Product Data Coordinator at CanWel (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were having issues organizing the images and sharing them with our customers. We now feel up to date and way more effective. Sharing 100 images does not take 2 seconds instead of 2 hours. Looking for certain images was also a horrible process. Now with the Image Relay search tool and filter, the process is really easy, fast, and enjoyable. I no longer have fear when a customer asks for different images.

Pros

Organizing images.
Search
Sharing with others

Cons

Nothing for now
Everything looks great from my point of view
Love the product so far

Return on Investment

Saving time when we look for specific images
Faster process when we are getting request.
Presentation looks professional when sharing with our customers.
