Digital Asset Management for Brand Manager

Full control over all brand assets

Wrong logo at the retailer, outdated campaign at the agency, no overview of asset usage? TESSA gives brand managers full control over all brand assets, from approval to global distribution.

Tessa moves top Brands

Here's how TESSA supports you and
your team in brand management

Challenges

An agency designs the next campaign using a logo from an old email. The wrong version ends up in print before the brand manager notices.

Your solution with TESSA

Brand portals for external partners

TESSA centralizes all assets, such as logos and campaign materials. As soon as a new logo is approved, the old one is no longer accessible to external partners thanks to version control. Retailers and agencies download materials directly from the TESSA brand portal. No email distribution, no outdated folders.

Challenges

The draft for approval gets sent back and forth via email as a PDF. Marketing and Legal provide feedback at the same time, versions get mixed up, and it’s no longer clear who approved it last.

Your solution with TESSA

Workflows for automatic approvals

In TESSA, every asset goes through a set of status stages: In Progress, Review, Approved, Archived. Everyone involved sees the same status. Comments are added directly to the asset, not to an inbox. The result is a complete approval history that is comprehensive and verifiable.

Challenges

A licensed image expires, but no one is notified. The image remains in circulation until a warning notice is issued.

Your solution with TESSA

Rights & Role Management

In TESSA, expiration dates, usage rules, and territorial restrictions are directly linked to each asset. A notification is automatically sent out shortly before expiration. After that, the asset is locked, but remains archived and can be reactivated with a new license.

    FAQ

    What sets a DAM like TESSA apart from a cloud drive or SharePoint?

    Cloud drives store files, while a DAM manages them. TESSA distinguishes between shared and outdated versions, can assign usage rights to assets, control approval processes, and connect external partners via portals without granting them access to the entire system. Folder structures on drives do not scale when multiple teams and countries are involved.

    What types of assets can be managed in TESSA? Does this also apply to videos and fonts?

    TESSA supports all common file formats: images (JPG, PNG, TIFF, SVG), videos (MP4, MOV), PDFs, Office documents, font files, and more. For videos, it offers previews and timecode search. Access to font files can be restricted to specific user groups using permissions and roles. This is useful when licenses are valid only for certain regions.

    How do e-commerce teams at other companies handle major seasonal image updates?

    The solution is a brand portal that agencies recognize as a dedicated, always-up-to-date resource. Instead of replying to an email, they provide a link to the TESSA BrandHub portal, which never expires. Brand managers report that such inquiries have almost completely disappeared since the portal was launched.
