We all know that the age of making decisions based solely on gut instinct in the hope it pays off is well and truly over. I mean, imagine building a website without analytics or spending money on ads without analyzing their performance!
The data-driven approach is here to stay, and while there's a case for some good old educated guesswork and intuition from time to time, modern-day marketers all know that every decision needs to be backed by as much reliable data as possible.
Oddly, a lot of people in the industry who harness a wealth of analytics to track the performance of emails, landing pages, social media posts, webinars, and more don't realize they can apply the same approach to the digital assets themselves, or the systems they use to manage them.
Here are just a few of the benefits of using analytics even for DAM too:
Know what keywords people are searching for
Stay on top of what topics and terms are trending
Understand what kinds of content are missing from your library
Make informed decisions when spending on sourcing new assetsSo, the first step is to make sure you've got the technology and data you need to track your digital assets. Then, as with many other aspects in life, it's what you actually do with it that counts. Data, I mean.
Did you know that up to 70% of digital assets are either underused or not used at all? Some of the most common causes we come across are:
Decentralized storage
Disorganized assets
Distribution issues
This results in most content creation being a total waste of time (70% to be exact), much to the frustration of marketers the world over. That's why we've worked hard to develop a solution that provides every organization with the dream tool to level up as Content Creators and Marketing Strategists.

What does Pickit Insights™ include?
Search data
We gather data from the usage of your brand assets from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and from the web. In the Searches view, you can see a word cloud that utilizes text size and color to display search activity indicate how your asset library is performing based on the searched keywords.
You can hover over a word to see the exact number of images it returns. The larger the word, the more times it's been searched. Green words generate more than 25 results, yellow – between one and 25 images, and red words don't generate any results.
In the top right corner, you'll see a toggle prompting you to display statistics for either the last week or month. Here you can also toggle between activity made in your Company Images vs. Pickit Stock™ section.
You can use the Searches data to better understand how people search for images and identify areas of improvement. For example, are images tagged with the right words? Do people understand what words they should be searching for to find images? Are you lacking any content altogether?
Top Lists
In the Top Lists view, you can see your most and least-used images and collections, as well as update their metadata.
You can choose to sort your most-used and least-used collections based on views, the average number of inserts per view, or when they were last updated.
