The Just Group oversees a portfolio of seven brands which includes Just Jeans, Jacqui E, Jay Jays, Portmans, Peter Alexander, Dotti and Smiggle. Withsuch a vast portfolio to manage, the business's in-house digital team produces a high volume of marketing content. This content includes eDMs, web copy and social media posts.
Accuracy and speed to market are critical for the team to succeed in their outbound marketing efforts. This means having the ability to offer stock at the right time and right price. The Just Group chose admation as its preferred project management software to deliver these efficiencies across their digital production.
Prior to implementing admation, the digital team was using email, Microsoft documents and PDF markups to manage their approval workflow. The team found it difficult to achieve consistent briefs and fast turnarounds on approvals. They also lacked the ability to make ad hoc or urgent changes.
The Just Group wanted to implement software that could provide the following features:
- Briefing templates and tools
- Online approvals which included online proofing and markup tools
- An integrated digital asset management (DAM) tool
With admation now implemented, The Just Group has:
- A consistent briefing format across multiple brands, with the ability to expand into other geographies
- Briefing tools that enable them to set up projects within an organised framework to avoid rushing jobs
- Approval workflow tools that allow them the review items and make accurate changes before digital campaigns go live.
- Project transparency so that the order management team can see what?s going to market to ensure they have adequate stock
- A secure storage centre for their broad range of brand assets
It?s a pleasure to be working with The Just Group and adding value to their digital marketing activities across such a large portfolio.
