Basecamp is being used as a project management/collaboration tool across the organization. It's supposed to be uniting copy, creative, and us as the digital marketing team in making timelines and creating assets.
It is currently being used by only our department.
Basecamp eliminates combing through 100's of past emails to find versions or conversations with coworkers. It's a place where an entire project can live and exist. It creates transparency in the creative process.

- Increased transparency
- Faster collaboration
- Organization
We use a product called SmartSheet here for some collaboration. It's really easy to use, in an Excel document, deadlines etc... are all visible.
That's one of the big problems with Basecamp; the deliverables and deadlines are not always completely visible, it takes some digging. if you do end up going with a to-do list, it's incredibly time consuming.
