Brand Asset Governance Sprint (5-10 days)
A structured engagement to centralize, tag, and govern a client's brand assets, reducing production friction and enforcing compliance across channels.
- Client provides access to existing asset repositories (cloud drives, CMS, ad platforms)
- Inventory of current brand guidelines and approved asset lists
- List of key stakeholders and approval chain for asset usage
- Agreement on the scope of asset types (logos, videos, templates, etc.)
- Access to a chosen brand asset management platform (e.g., Uplifted, Air, or Aprimo)
- 1.Audit existing asset repositories and identify gaps in organization and metadata
- 2.Interview key stakeholders to understand current asset retrieval pain points
- 3.Define success metrics for the sprint (e.g., retrieval time, compliance rate)
- 1.Select and configure the chosen brand asset management platform
- 2.Establish folder structure and naming conventions aligned with client's brand taxonomy
- 3.Set up user roles and permissions for internal and external teams
- 1.Migrate high-priority assets (logos, brand guidelines, campaign finals) into the platform
- 2.Apply AI-powered auto-tagging and metadata generation to migrated assets
- 3.Verify accuracy of auto-generated tags and correct misclassifications
- 1.Create custom search views and saved searches for common asset requests
- 2.Develop a versioning protocol to track asset updates and approvals
- 3.Integrate the platform with existing tools (e.g., CMS, project management) where feasible
- 1.Build a brand compliance checklist for asset usage across channels
- 2.Train client team members on platform usage and governance policies
- 3.Document standard operating procedures for asset requests and approvals
- 1.Run a pilot retrieval test with a sample of client team members to measure time savings
- 2.Collect feedback on platform usability and tag accuracy
- 3.Adjust taxonomy and metadata rules based on feedback
- 1.Finalize governance guidelines and approval workflows
- 2.Deliver a usage report showing asset retrieval times and compliance metrics
- 3.Provide a handover document with platform administration instructions
Agencies can charge a premium for this sprint because it directly reduces billable hours wasted on asset hunting and mitigates client brand violations. The retainer for ongoing governance provides recurring revenue with minimal marginal cost, while the platform subscription can be marked up or passed through.
- Centralized, tagged asset library in the chosen platform
- Brand governance playbook with versioning and approval protocols
- Custom search views and saved searches for common requests
- Training materials and recorded walkthrough for client team
- Post-sprint performance report with retrieval time and compliance metrics
Client team members can retrieve any approved asset in under two minutes using natural language search, and the governance playbook is adopted with at least 90% of new asset requests following the defined approval workflow.
