Out of the blue, your colleague informs that the CEO has been invited to speak at the conference and they need a presentation and a one-page brochure. The conference is next week and you have to submit the press-ready design today or tomorrow at the latest, if you want the brochure to be printed in time. Has the conference moved online? OK, you don’t need to print brochures any more, but pdf-version of the brochure and presentation design are still urgent. Besides, your team has a bulk of other requests for other marketing materials starting from business cards and promotional images, to sales scripts and web content. In this situation, it is a challenge to ensure that it is clear who is responsible for what and keep tracking of priorities and the collateral statuses. Eventually it generates risk of delayed launch of marketing campaigns due to late marketing collateral material creation or approval, and further negative impacts on your bottom line. In order to avoid the risks mentioned above, it is likely to make sure that your marketing collateral management workflow is accurate and effective.
