About

Digital Asset Management News contains the latest news, reviews, trends and opinion about the Digital Asset Management (DAM) industry including comment by the editor as well as feature articles contributed by independent authors.

If you have an idea for an original article or feature, please feel free to contact us and we will consider your article for inclusion. Feature articles should be exclusive to DAM News and must not be previously published elsewhere, although we are happy for contributors to syndicate the article post-publication.  Please read our editorial guidelines below first before sending us material.

Editorial Guidelines

We do like to receive:

  • DAM product updates and information about new releases.
  • Vendor neutral information and comment about the DAM industry.
  • Educational articles that explain key topics and subjects in DAM, but these must be generic and not specific to any particular product or platform.
  • Events and meetings such as trade shows (but note the guidelines below).

We don’t like:

  • Gratuitous sales oriented ‘advertorials’.
  • Information about new hires and staff.
  • Case studies by vendors or consultants about work carried out for clients.
  • Office moves and re-location news.
  • Revenue stories about increases in turnover/profit.  Also don’t send us details of how many new customers you have won over x months/years.
  • Partner summits or other events that relate only to your own product.
  • Partnerships* and information about who you have just done deals with.
  • Customer contract win news.
  • Website revamps press.

* Occasionally if your partnership story involves interoperability and integration between two different products (one of which must be a DAM solution) then we are more interested in that type of news.

The rule about sending us copy is whether or not you would still be interested in reading it if your biggest competitors wrote it.  Anything we feature has to have a wider level of interest outside the organisation you represent and anyone already connected to it.

Embargo policy

Please advise if your content has an embargo.  Preferably, do not send it to us until it is ready for general release.

Press Links

We like to be able to point our readers to copies of press releases so they can read it for themselves and make their own minds up.  Please include links to publicly accessible websites with copies of your release (whether on your own site or other press release aggregators).
