Brief but Dazzling Glimpse of New Work

Ann Asprodites
Owner in Sales at Asprodites Reps (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a one-person shop, eight of the twelve companies I represent provide Wiredrive for me to use in sales. While my clients acknowledge Wiredrive as the gold standard in delivery methods, I enjoy the ease of manipulating the spots and previewing the finished piece. I also like the fact that I can change or update the link after it has been sent. Thus, it addresses the problem of last minute changes and updates. I also keep links as templates so that if I need a particular style or line up, I can reference a previous link.

Pros

  • Wiredrive organizes the content for easy selection for reels. I am also able to add a reel while I am previewing it - this saves time.
  • Wiredrive's tech support is remarkable: someone with a name calls me back immediately with easily understood solutions. The techs are patient, as well, and I never feel rushed or unschooled.
  • The analytics are priceless in timing my follow up. Knowing or not knowing if someone has viewed the work or forwarded the link to team mates allows me to be timely and effective

Cons

  • The greatest problem I have with Wiredrive is the interaction with iTunes for screening in a group. The download protocol and rearrangement of the spots is awkward.

Return on Investment

  • Positive timing on follow up, thus increased sales efficiency.
  • Positive flexibility in updates and changes.
  • Swift almost real time delivery allows content to be viewed during discussions.

Wiredrive is a brilliant system and highly recommended by Dark Energy Films

Jonny Beck
Production Assistant in Professional Services at Dark Energy Films (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Wiredrive to manage and share all of our media online. It is used within the whole company and shared with non Wiredrive users and Wiredrive users alike.

Pros

  • Constructing reels to showcase work.
  • Online media management, meaning easy access whenever or wherever you are.
  • Provides a platform for media to be directly downloaded by any recipient - Wiredrive and Non Wiredrive users.

Cons

  • Bulk delete is certainly something to be looked at. This could be made easier.
  • Thumbnail customisation on project folders.
  • Thumbnail customisation for videos stored.

Return on Investment

  • Very positive. Easier workflow.
  • Increased employee efficiency

Wiredrive or Bust

Stefanie Manning
Creative Manager at Show+Tell (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wiredrive is being used throughout the organization to provide a point of reference internally and with our clients as to what content is running on digital networks we service vs. what content is archived. We also utilize Wiredrive for the approval process since so many parties/agencies are involved. Due to the number of clients, digital displays, and daily content updates, we needed something user friendly, fast, and easily accessible.

Pros

  • Provides many options for file previews. Links can be created and shared amongst parties that do not have access/an account, and permissions to these files can be easily added/removed.
  • Approval and feedback features make it possible to receive very specific information, to the frame and second marker, which helps immensely avoid any miscommunications.
  • Customization of sub-folder directories and organization by client preference is pivotal.

Cons

  • Copy feature for files. I often need to copy a file to more than one additional folder and cannot do this easily, nor quickly at the moment.

Return on Investment

  • Constant client visibility and peace-of-mind
  • Increased efficiency

Wiredrive: Why we use it

Daniel Joyce
Broadcast Operations in Professional Services at GoConvergence (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wiredrive is used in a few different ways for my company. We have an online database of all our work as well as individual project sections for each of our clients. Wiredrive is used for client and internal review as well as a marketing tool. With the database, or library, we are able to create presentations, customize how they will look and review all content before sending them out for reviews, proposals, RPFs, etc. Wiredrive is an all-in-one online storage site for our company's client and marketing needs.

Pros

  • An easy to use and in-depth online library for our work. Fully customizable, we can add tags/credits to each piece of work for further organization and sorting.
  • The project side of Wiredrive is perfect for our clients needs. We are able to upload all required work to one place and send out customizable presentations to each client with their own logo.
  • Interfacing with new or prospective clients is easy with the customizable presentations.

Cons

  • Having the library and project as different sides, may result in having to upload the same file multiple times. For instance, you want to have a comprehensive library with all your finals, but also want the final in the associated project folder- you cannot share the same source file, you have to upload it twice and take up space.
  • Having 'hidden' files from clients. Other providers allow for a section in each project folder where you can upload temp files or internal review files that the client cannot see.

Return on Investment

  • Since starting with Wiredrive we have been able to maintain an online library for proposal purposes.
  • When potential clients ask to see some of our work, we employees and freelancers can now go to our branded Wiredrive page to find videos they need- they no longer have to go through our broadcast operations manager.
  • This has allowed for faster and easier reviewing by our clients. They all love being able to log into a website and see the days updates on their videos/commercials.
