With the old content building system, it could take weeks to actually do minor changes. So if we do need to make small changes to banners or ads, it’s a huge game-changer - it’s way faster for us now.Aleksander Kyhn Hansen

With almost 4000 digital assets (and growing), what Milestone needed was a comprehensive DAM solution to centralize their growing content library. With Bynder, Milestone and their 14.500+ partners can now create, collaborate on, store, and locate the exact assets they need and go to market faster. Streamlining operations comes with a whole range of benefits. At Milestone, it grants regional and global marketing teams more time to work on strategic business initiatives.
What were Milestone looking to solve with Bynder?
We were relying heavily on our website and we used Episerver as a content management system. It was really hard for our internal and external users to find up-to-date and relevant content.Ozge Hatipoglu
Brand Project Manager, Brand Studio Team
Before Bynder, Milestone was relying on their internal servers and some cloud solutions from Microsoft to store and share their digital assets. But with their rapid expansion and no centralized asset repository, Milestone needed a solution that could help them tackle their:
- Inability to find assets on demand;
- Inability to quickly make minor changes to content;
- Partners becoming frustrated and unsure of the assets they needed;
- Teams creating different marketing content and storing it in separate places;
- Tendency to overlook existing Marketing content.
At Milestone, they were noticing bottlenecks across both their regional and global marketing teams with users struggling to find, create, and utilize digital assets. This resulted in a slower time to market and poor user experience. With Bynder’s help, Milestone can now empower external stakeholders and ensure they have access to the latest brand guidelines, digital templates, and marketing deliverables on demand.
We needed to relieve the regional marketing bottleneck. I think they were sending our logo to their sales guys every day, pretty much five times a day at one point.
