Our take
Creating marketing campaigns involves an iterative process of content creation review, and this can be cumbersome to organise due to the back-and-forth exchanging of files. This has been made even more complicated due to the rise in remote workforces, with workforces lacking the necessary tools to facilitate a smooth campaign creation pipeline.
Filestage provides a digital media review and approval platform, providing remote and hybrid teams with a single point of knowledge for the deadlines, review, feedback, and file versions of marketing campaigns. The file management tools help to ensure that users are consistently collaborating on the most recent version of a file, with every user also having access to any contextual feedback.
Many startups are creating platforms around audience targeting, personalisation, and other marketing campaign innovations, but Filestage has found a unique place in the market by focussing on making collaboration and review pipelines frictionless for any workforce. Through its platform, the company aims to help increase the rate companies can create marketing campaigns, without file transfer and management presenting obstacles.
