When it comes to content management, imagine not having to hunt for the most up-to-date assets, frantically looking for them, or worrying about content rights or user permissions.

When it comes to content management, imagine not having to hunt for the most up-to-date assets, frantically looking for assets, or worrying about content rights or user permissions. Josh Van Dyk, Vice President, North American Sales at censhare talks about how organizations can significantly speed up their creative workflow.
censhare was founded in 2001 with leading experts who specialized in solving complex client needs. The company quickly expanded into an international organization that now has over 300 employees spread across 9 countries. In 2017, they joined forces with Dumont that is a majority stakeholder and one of Germany’s largest media companies today. A privately held company, censhare has grown by over 20% in the past year and helped more than 300 customers transform their digital assets into powerful marketing content.
Many organizations today have a convoluted content management process. They rely on siloed systems that aren’t scalable; especially when it comes to managing multiple brands, as a creative agency or as a global brand with hundreds or even thousands of employees. This lack of centralization can take valuable time away from their creative team.
Teams work with multiple systems, popular website builders, social channels, and tools to make sure that they have covered it all. With employees spending much of their time on manual tasks rather than powering the brand forward with buyer-centric experiences, the setback is bound to happen.

This allows organizations to connect to their audience on any channel, in any language, at any time, locally and globally.

censhare recently conducted a study alongside the London research Institute with over 700 brand marketers, business professionals, and agencies. The study found that 70% of the surveyed believe that they could add significantly more value to their business if the amount of content related admin work that they carried out was reduced. And this is exactly what censhare has to offer.
Other parts of the study concluded that nearly three out of five in the study claimed that they wasted a considerable amount of time on content related tasks. On the flip side, organizations with a centralized content hub were 3.5 times more likely to meet or exceed their communication goals.
With censhare, you can easily store, organize, and collaborate on all your branded assets and content in one place. Once a customer is onboarded, they and any approved collaborators can find, plan and personalize all digital assets for their target audience(s).
