The Art and Practice of Managing Digital Media

Working as a Lone DAMster

23 June, 12:20 PM BST

Hear from Danny van Loon, Digital Asset Manager, Ahrend on his role as a solo DAM practitioner. 

He’ll share experiences and insights into his busy and expanding asset management role. This is bound to resonate with many others who also fly solo!

A lot of organisations simply misjudge the amount of work that goes into the management of the DAM. Demands on, and the contributions of, asset managers, DAM librarians and archivists shouldn’t be underestimated.  

In this session, Danny will share how he has built the DAM from small beginnings and how it has become the single source of content for all users.  

Danny will highlight: 

  • Experiences and discoveries
  • Tips, tricks and woes                 
  • Working with all stakeholders and implementation vendors
  • Preferences and learnings in the field of DAM as the single expert within a group of two companies which have been competitors for 100+ years – and now still are … sort of!

Learn how it is sometimes fun to try to be a system administrator, an asset librarian, a product owner, an information governance program and metadata lead all at the same time.  But, with the right help and delegating, we’ll hear how it is possible to be an effective DAM advocate.

What others say

HS DAM events are really the one place to go for getting profound insights in status quo and trends in DAM industry. Very enlightening and inspiring!

Great event - Provided the opportunity to learn from customer journeys from a variety of organisations from different market segments. We came away with lots of great questions for ourselves which will be useful during our implementation.

HS DAM events provide me with the opportunity to broaden my horizons and think beyond to an "Omnichannel" DAM world that connects all the dots; video, image, text and more.
