Maria, a dedicated marketer in a Finnish company, was entrusted with creating a presentation and newsletter for an important product launch, which was also the unveiling of the company's revamped brand. However, the absence of a media bank or Digital Asset Management (DAM) system meant she had to deal with disorganized digital files scattered across various storage mediums.
While preparing, Maria mistakenly used an outdated logo and struggled to find the right product images among a maze of unorganized files. This oversight was clear during her presentation and in the newsletter sent to thousands, causing embarrassment and potentially damaging the company's reputation.
