Measured against Competitors
It was through the creative agency that Heather Tuggle, Global Director of Brand and Communications at Carestream Dental, had become used to the seamless workflows that Encodify would provide for the marketing and communications team. Faced with different company set- up, she checked out numerous other project management systems that creative agencies were using in the US to see if there was a need for change.
"We thought we needed to split with our project management system. We checked out other project management systems. And we found that what we had all along was exactly what we needed. And you end up asking yourself why we would switch to anything else. This is perfect"
The scale of content creation
Carestream Dental’s team comprises up to 25 users - marketing managers, copywriters, social media managers, graphic designers, and website content managers - who handle 2000 creative tasks, or jobs, annually. Besides the practical side of working with a project management tool that is 100% digital, these days, there is another aspect worth considering the volumes. You need to produce massive volumes of content when working on a global level. That is why you need the proper technological setup.
"I mean, we are really adapting to this digital world, and a big push for us is a lot more content. Having the right tech stack is really important when you look at how much content we are producing,” says Heather Tuggle and continues: “It’s so important these days to have access to different technologies, to be able to find things when you need them, to have that audit history. It’s very important."
"It’s like a bespoke system that was created for how we work. That is the great thing about Encodify. Many other project management systems don’t work that way - you adapt to their system. So it’s like we are constantly optimising the process with someone at Encodify to make it seamless. And that is something I value in our relationship."
The solution
Encodify has made it easier to assign jobs and manage projects from creation to completion. And because Carestream Dental operates in a regulated industry, having version control built into the system helps with this.
"Since I manage the creative team, I rely a lot on Encodify because my team lives by Encodify. Everything is in Encodify that sets their schedule for the day. So that’s how they plan out and manage what to get done. It’s an integral part of the department."
