One corporate marketing team. Dozens of locations.

Multi-location marketing is the process of keeping marketing consistent across a network of locations while giving local teams access to the materials they need to market effectively.

What should a multi-location marketing platform actually do?

A good platform should make it easier to:

  • Give locations access to current, approved marketing materials.
  • Keep logos, brand resources and standards easy to find.
  • Deliver approved advertising and promotional materials.
  • Make social media resources available to local teams.
  • Reduce the chance of outdated materials being used.
  • Keep corporate in control without making local marketing difficult.
  • Get new locations and users productive quickly.

The goal isn’t to give local teams more software. It’s to give them less to think about.

Is multi-location marketing software the same as a DAM?

There can be overlap, but they solve different problems. DAM platforms manage complex asset libraries, workflows and integrations. Multi-location marketing solves a simpler problem: How does every location quickly get the right marketing?

Some companies need both. Others may be using far more technology than the problem requires.
