And brands that consistently deliver compelling, accurate, and relevant experiences are able to rise above their competition. But this is no small feat! Even one misstep can put a brand’s reputation at risk. That’s why companies of all shapes and sizes need [brand management](https://www.acquia.com/blog/brand-management) to safeguard their identity and control their narrative. Acquia’s [digital asset management (DAM)](https://www.acquia.com/blog/digital-asset-management) solution gives marketers easy-to-use tools to manage their brand across teams and channels. And in our guide, [How to Simplify Brand Management With DAM](https://www.acquia.com/resources/guide/how-simplify-brand-management-dam), we outline how to use three [DAM features](https://www.acquia.com/products/marketing-cloud/dam#all-features) — Portals, Templates, and integrations — to activate your brand content at scale. Here’s an overview of what you’ll find inside the guide. ## **Portals to manage and share brand guidelines** [Acquia’s Portals application](https://www.acquia.com/products/marketing-cloud/dam/portals) offers a flexible, attractive, and simple way to share content within a branded environment. Many [Acquia DAM (Widen) customers use portals](https://www.acquia.com/blog/brand-portals-examples-best-practices) to display and share their brand guidelines, so all stakeholders have easy access to essential [brand assets](https://www.acquia.com/blog/brand-assets) — along with instructions for proper use. In the guide, we use Acquia’s own brand portal to share how key elements empower teams to create cohesive customer experiences. ## **Templates to localize essential campaign materials** Another brand challenge is localization. Global campaign materials need to accommodate local languages and cultures, without compromising brand standards. [Acquia’s Templates application](https://www.acquia.com/products/marketing-cloud/dam/templates) gives DAM users the ability to customize marketing materials, while the creative team remains in full control of the brand. In the guide, we share an example of a product brochure template with copy and design elements that can be updated — all within guidelines set by the [brand manager](https://www.acquia.com/blog/what-is-a-brand-manager). ## **Integrations to simplify content distribution** [Connecting Acquia DAM with other essential platforms](https://www.acquia.com/blog/where-to-start-with-digital-asset-management-integrations) allows assets to sync across tools — helping to ensure consistency and accuracy across channels. And one system integration that’s particularly powerful in this connected environment is between your DAM platform and a [web content management system (CMS)](https://www.acquia.com/blog/dam-vs-cms). In the guide, we outline how the integration between Acquia DAM and the [Drupal CMS](https://www.acquia.com/integrations/drupal) allows teams to direct and automate the flow of assets across workflows to build coordinated digital experiences. ## **Download the guide, today** “How to Simplify Brand Management With DAM” is full of clear examples, helpful screenshots, and straight-forward instructions that outline how to use a DAM system to organize your content and control your brand. Whether you are just beginning to learn about DAM functionality — or want to use DAM to manage your brand at scale — this guide is for you! We hope you enjoy it.
