The Challenge
Produce more content in less time to support their digital transformation
Boden has been going through a digital transformation. They are reviewing their business processes and technology to ensure they can [provide] right product at the right time, relevant and timely communication, and personalized and localized experiences. Their creative teams will need to produce more content in a shorter amount of time. And, as photography is a key part of any content they produce, the complexity means that they can no longer rely on folder structures and spreadsheets to find what is available to them.
The Solution
Automated workflows ensure accuracy and accelerate creative operations
Boden adopted a visual and central image library to give their creative and marketing teams access to re- view their imagery and to know where they were in the production process. One of the more important workflows was one that involved image status change and repro integration. This workflow took each project from photography, to selecting the best image, preparing materials for page design, creating the pages—and, if necessary, retouching the images—and sending the page for production.
The Company
Boden creates clothes that bring color to a wardrobe and fun to one’s life.
It’s a very simple formula at Boden : “We’ll sort the clothes, you bring the smile.” Boden can be found not only at high-street shops and concessions, but also in online retail partnerships. Karen Phillipson , Creative Operations Manager, is responsible for making sure the creative teams have the processes and systems they need in order to meet the business requirements.
