Event Management Team Running Music Festivals
Company Situation
The company operates within the event management and media production space, running large-scale summer camps and high-profile music events. Their team handles extensive multimedia content, including hours of video footage captured from multiple shoots at their camp and music events featuring top guitarists. Additionally, they support the career development of an emerging musician, requiring organized media management and collaboration across various stakeholders.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company relies heavily on general-purpose cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and Google Drive to share and store media files. For large events, they often resort to physically shipping hard drives via courier services to distribute footage among collaborators. This process covers both their summer camp footage, which involves thousands of participants and weekly recap videos, and music event recordings that involve multiple camera operators.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Slow file transfer speeds unsuitable for large media files
Inefficient and costly physical transportation of hard drives
Fragmented workflows due to use of multiple, non-specialized platforms
Difficulty in organizing and securely sharing terabytes of footage
General dissatisfaction with current storage and collaboration tools, citing them as "awful" for their needs
