Live Sports Media Building Comprehensive Event Strategy
Company Situation
The company operates within the live sports and entertainment media industry, building a comprehensive media company strategy centered on major event productions. Their team includes content leaders, editors, graphic designers, and production personnel. They are scaling up to support multiple events throughout the year and require a production infrastructure that can flexibly accommodate a growing number of users and workflows.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company’s workflow lacks a centralized production backbone. Their media files are managed through disparate systems, including remote vendors and cloud upload platforms, without a robust local storage or MAM (Media Asset Management) solution. Editors and content creators are working without a unified hub, leading to inefficiencies in collaboration, asset management, and post-production workflows.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Absence of a centralized storage system or MAM creates difficulties in accessing and managing media assets.
Reliance on external vendors for uploading and storage leads to slow turnaround and limited editorial integration.
No seamless workflow for editors to hang edits off of uploaded files, impacting post-production speed and quality.
Current systems do not scale well with growing team demands and event slate expansion.
Lack of oversight and management capabilities for media archive and asset lifecycle.
Inefficient migration process for legacy media files to new storage infrastructure.
