Dropbox vs Embrosa

things to consider for brand managers and marketing managers when choosing a brand portal for their retailers

In short: Dropbox Plus or Dropbox Professional are awesome when you collaborate with your marketing team members. Especially if you are working from home often or if your team is scattered across the globe or country. Everybody can access the right files and collaborate seamlessly.

Dropbox is fantastic FOR YOU! From YOUR perspective, as a brand manager, it works fine.

For your local resellers, the reality, however, is more unruly. Or better said: Dropbox is a nightmare for your local resellers

This post is for brand managers, marketing managers, and distributors. It explains when you should use Dropbox and when you are better off using Embrosa.

Embrosa vs WeTransfer

things to consider for brand managers and marketing managers when choosing a brand portal for their retailers

If you work in a marketing team, you often work with very large files. Think high-res pictures for packshots or campaign images. Storing the materials for your own marketing team is not really a challenge. You could use WeTransfer (Pro). But sharing these big files with local resellers or retailers can become cumbersome and problematic, especially for teams that need to move fast.

This post is for brand managers, marketing managers, and distributors. It explains when you should use WeTransfer and when you are better off using Embrosa.

BRANDS

What does it take to get started with Embrosa for a Brand?

You might use a brand portal. Probably, that portal has been designed from a supplier perspective. Your perspective. Regular brand portals optimize content management (or social media marketing asset management) for a marketing manager within 1 company or corporate. But the developers forget that retailers work with multiple brands, often 15 to 25 different ones. That’s why Embrosa designed a brand portal from the retailers’ perspective.

This post is for brand managers, marketing managers, and distributors. It explains how you can get started with Embrosa and upload your content to Embrosa.
