Empower your sales channels with Distributed Marketing

Distributed Marketing enables sales teams, regional entities, partners, dealers and franchises to effortlessly localize assets while maintaining brand consistency, legal compliance and costs.

Distributed Marketing:
the basics

Distributed marketing is a strategy that enables organizations to maintain centralized brand control while empowering local teams—such as franchisees, resellers, or regional offices—to execute marketing campaigns tailored to their specific audiences. It ensures consistent messaging across all markets while giving local teams the flexibility to adapt content for their unique needs. Wedia’s Distributed Marketing module streamlines this process, allowing businesses to manage assets centrally and distribute them efficiently to local teams for customization and use.

What can Distributed Marketing do for your business?

Thanks to the pre-branded templates which you build and approve, your local sales or marketing teams and franchises can have access to materials which can be easily modified on a global or local scale.

This means that the content and promotional materials that you are distributing are able to perfectly reflect your brand and your colleagues in different locations are easily able to take branded templates and edit them depending on their market or language.

In this way, corporate marketing teams offer teams based in regional locations the flexibility they require to manage their promotional materials. Local entities can as such change certain areas of a template, whilst preserving the logos, colors and fonts that are required to maintain brand consistency.

Distributed Marketing helps "glo-cal" organizations

  • Global marketing teams can distribute branded templates and guidelines to local entities
  • Marketing content can be shared with a company’s network of retailers
  • Marketing is optimized for franchises and points of sale
  • Marketing communication is enhanced for local sales teams

The power of Distributed Marketing

Easily build your templates

Distributed Marketing gives you the flexibility and freedom to create a wide range of marketing materials that are customized to your brand's image.

Adjust dimensions and set limits for what parts of the templates can be edited, ensuring compliance to brand guidelines and legal notices.

With an easy-to-use and intuitive interface, users can drag and drop images and photos and add them quickly and smoothly to dedicated folders, accessible for international teams. What's more, marketing materials can be updated automatically with product information from your centralized sources.

Web-to-Print is easier than ever

Thanks to an intuitive interface, preloaded templates can be adapted to change contact details, addresses or headlines. Local teams can therefore quickly modify branded resources and get them print-ready in record time.

Save time sending your brochures, flyers and signage to printers across the world by having them print ready from within your DAM environment.

How do you get your marketing materials print ready?

Creation of templates

  • Build templates with InDesign, which integrates your DAM assets
  • Upload your templates into your branded DAM environment where they become smart, online templates
  • Add templates to the approval workflow
  • Create approved, ready-to-use templates for your organization

Document personalization

  • Your team chooses a template from your library of pre-approved resources
  • The template is adapted in line with the zone that can be edited (including changing language or customized images).
  • An instant preview is available
  • The layout is achieved by drag and drop from the DAM platform
  • The template enters into an approval workflow in order to be signed off for external use

Final document distribution

  • Approved templates are sent to printers or distributed via email

E-mail publishing features are not forgotten

  • The Distributed Marketing product also allows you to prepare an e-mailing project by creating your templates, which are converted into HTML within the DAM environment, allowing them to be easily editable.

Sales guide across your company

For franchises, maintaining the image of the brand is crucial to their success. In order to be profitable, they must maintain the company’s reputation and work to ensure consistency across all channels, both physical and digital. 

This is why central marketing teams must work to ensure brand guidelines are clearly set and easily adaptable by retail franchises or local entities. 

Distributing a set of guidelines across the organization is vital for a coherent image and ensuring that no matter the language or market, materials can be adapted while still adhering to the overall image and reputation of the brand.

One brand across multiple channels

It’s no secret that brands are finding it harder to work to attract and retain customers now that they must maintain a physical and digital presence, within a sea of other competing brands. 

The Distributed Marketing feature of Wedia’s DAM makes it easier than ever to create coherence across your various channels, whether it’s social media, your website or paid acquisition. By establishing a set of templates by channel no matter the team that is publishing content, you can rest assured that what they post will be on brand and perfectly suited for the channel and your audience.

The benefits of distributed marketing

Reduce time and costs

Speed up the time it takes to get your promotional materials ready by easily editing and approving them within the DAM environment. Cut down on the agency or creative fees needed to make small changes to your documents.

Whether it's for print or email needs, branded templates are available and can be easily sent to different teams, agencies or stakeholders.

Adapted content for your audience

Your audience is now looking for content that is unique to them. This means that you are not publishing the same content for each of your channels, markets or locations. Content must be harmonious but tweaked depending on who you are targeting and where you are publishing it. 

This means allowing local teams to adjust templates depending on their market, as ultimately they have a key understanding of their specific audience. Allowing adjustments to be made to your marketing materials means you uphold your brand guidelines but create a more personalized experience for your audience. 

Legal compliance

Don’t get bogged down by having to have your materials constantly approved by your legal department. Instead, create standardized templates that have been signed off and checked for legal conformity.

This means your teams will be able to pick and choose their templates, safe in the knowledge that they have the right legal notices and comply with your brand’s guidelines. 

Improved Collaboration

Working within an international environment means sharing information between cultures, languages and markets. This isn’t always easy, but with the Distributed Marketing feature of Wedia’s DAM, your communication channels are enhanced.

Instead of a constant top-down approach from central marketing teams, local teams have the ability to make their own changes to documents and materials. 

Interconnection with the DAM module

To make the most efficient use of your assets, Wedia embeds a multimedia library which matches the DAM according to your specifications.

Depending on the user rights, it allows you to search, select and deposit photos, articles, and text into the document

Future trends in Digital Asset Management

DAM is no longer just a repository—it’s evolving into a critical hub for orchestrating digital workflows. As the volume of assets and channels continues to grow, DAM systems must adapt to new challenges and opportunities brought by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI.

With AI-driven tools, DAM platforms now offer advanced features such as auto-tagging, smart cropping, and visual search. Generative AI takes this a step further by enabling the creation of entirely new, brand-compliant assets based on simple text prompts. This empowers marketing teams to generate and localize content rapidly, enhancing personalization for global campaigns while reducing production costs.

Additionally, DAM solutions are integrating with multilingual search capabilities, metadata governance systems, and even 3D asset management tools, ensuring a seamless digital asset supply chain. These advancements enable businesses to scale efficiently, maintain brand consistency, and deliver localized, channel-ready content across markets.

For organizations adopting modern DAM solutions, the focus is shifting from static storage to holistic digital ecosystem management—making DAM a strategic driver for smarter, faster, and more adaptive content operations.
