Fortune 500 Energy Team Streamlining Creative Production Workflow
Company Situation
The company is a creative services lead at a Fortune 500 energy company operating in multiple international markets. Their team includes a handful of full-time designers and project managers who handle most of the company’s creative production. Recently, the company’s organization has been making a strategic shift to bring more creative production in-house, reducing reliance on outside agencies and centralizing their media assets.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company’s team stores raw video footage and other creative assets in a Google Cloud storage bucket, essentially a large, unorganized repository. The team uses Wrike for project management and basic review workflows, but there is no specialized video review or asset management system. Uploading, downloading, and searching for video content is done manually, which is inefficient and time-consuming.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Lack of a searchable, organized media asset management system leads to difficulties in finding and reusing past footage.
Uploading and downloading large video files creates workflow bottlenecks.
Review and approval processes are basic and not optimized for video-specific needs, complicating collaboration especially with external agencies.
Video assets are scattered across multiple markets and teams, with no central repository for easy access.
Future growth in video production is anticipated, but current systems are not scalable or future-proofed.
