Marketing Agency Streamlining Video Collaboration with Frame.io and Cloud Storage
Company Situation
The company operates within the marketing and video production sector, managing a small but dynamic video team focused on content creation for campaigns, including mental health initiatives. Their team is distributed across multiple locations, working both in-office and remotely, which requires flexible and efficient digital collaboration. The team handles various roles, including project trafficking, producing, and editing, often juggling multiple responsibilities.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company relies on a combination of different storage and collaboration tools, including physical hard drives, cloud storage platforms, and Frame.io for review and approval processes. Their workflow involves moving media assets between multiple systems to enable remote access, collaboration, and company reviews. This setup necessitates frequent context switching between platforms and managing disparate storage locations.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
The company faces significant challenges around decentralization of assets, leading to difficulty in quickly locating and accessing content. The reliance on multiple platforms creates friction, increasing the time and effort needed to share media for review and approval, as well as to repurpose existing content. This fragmented approach also contributes to inefficiencies and potential redundancies, such as unnecessary reshoots due to poor reuse of archived footage.
How Shade Would Change Their Workflow

It provides seamless access to all content from anywhere, making remote workflows feel local. Shade’s AI-powered search capabilities dramatically improve content discoverability using natural language queries, eliminating the need to remember specific file names or locations. The platform also streamlines review and approval by embedding these features directly within the system, removing the need to export media to external tools like Frame.io. Additionally, Shade’s robust archiving and content reuse capabilities support efficient repurposing of existing assets, reducing costs and accelerating project turnaround times.
