Founded in 1929, the operation spans four generations. Their 23 locations are neighborhood favorites known for stocking local products and Heinen’s private label.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jackie Shultz, the Director of Marketing at Heinen’s, leads the marketing team and oversees all channels – email, social media, website, advertising and print. Jackie works with various departments within the company to uphold the Heinen’s brand throughout every project.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ccto-goal-result locale=\"en\" goal=\"The Heinen’s Grocery Store marketing team has tight content deadlines.

With over 20 stores in different cities, the team creates multiple versions of assets for these weekly promotions. This results in a lot of content they need to find and share.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Sometimes content has slight modifications. Let’s say if it’s a local product to Cleveland, Ohio, it certainly makes sense to refer to it as local, but if it’s sold in Chicago, it’s a little far away, so we would call it Midwest,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quick-moving marketing team is responsible for all materials that showcase products in-store and online. Heinen’s contracts external designers to create the artwork, then it’s up to the marketing team to utilize and deploy these assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"763\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185431\u002FMediterranean-Tuna-Pasta-Salad_6.jpg\" alt=\"An image of Heinen's tri-colored pasta, with green Heinen's product label with different sized colorful bowls containing: cucumbers, oil, assorted veg, and tuna on a marbled countertop \" class=\"wp-image-57135\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185431\u002FMediterranean-Tuna-Pasta-Salad_6.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185431\u002FMediterranean-Tuna-Pasta-Salad_6-354x450.jpg 354w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Canto, the team stored and shared graphics, imagery and videos in a hodgepodge of ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Designers would send us links to the artwork via Dropbox or various other services. Internally, we hadn’t committed to one, so we were just using different systems ad hoc. It was probably a mixed bag based on what our third parties used,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This asset sharing and storing approach caused disruptions in team workflows. If someone needed a specific graphic that they didn’t commission, it was a toss up where to find it. Unorganized assets were a barrier to productivity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“There was no easy way to share assets, so each team member would have their own drives with artwork that they commissioned or used in some way, and it was not easily found by others. The main goal was to try to make assets available to larger groups of people,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"349\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185430\u002FBlock-Made-Fresh-In-Store@2x.jpg\" alt=\"A split image with the left side including text that reads" Made fresh in store - shop now" over a green background, and the right side image showing two of Heinens fresh squeezed orange and grapfruit juice jugs \" class=\"wp-image-57136\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185430\u002FBlock-Made-Fresh-In-Store@2x.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185430\u002FBlock-Made-Fresh-In-Store@2x-450x262.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enter Canto: Finalized assets all in one place\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heinen’s now keeps their images and videos in Canto. All final assets are available, so team members go to the library and quickly find the files they need for their specific campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Jackie, this means she has an overview of every piece of content being completed on any given day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“The visual interface of Canto is really easy to use. We refer to it as a news feed for our department. As I’m in there throughout the day, I’m seeing new assets come in. It’s like overseeing the whole department – it’s fun to see the progress happening live,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting organized\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heinen’s has utilized their Canto library for over two years. Since the system is flexible, the team can update the library’s organizational structure as their needs evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“We recently revisited our folder and album structure as a team. Our initial goal was to minimize the number of Albums specific to certain projects or initiatives, so we tried to strategically bucket them by departments, types of content or areas within the company. We’re still evolving and learning as we go,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"276\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185429\u002Fimage001.png\" alt=\"Heinen's digital asset library with the filter search bar opened on the right side of the screen using keywords to   find assets using the filtered search  and images of celebrations for national pet month over a blue and orange banner \" class=\"wp-image-57139\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185429\u002Fimage001.png 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185429\u002Fimage001-450x207.png 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One asset, unlimited dimensions\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assets stored in Canto are deployed for a wide array of digital and print activities. A single asset has seemingly infinite uses, which means the team must be able to download it in varying dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“An image could be used in print, email, on social media or on our website. All of those channels have different specs and different needs for the same image,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team uses resize-upon-download in Canto to hit every dimension requirement for assets. This function enables them to store only one high-resolution file, but with the ability to download whatever dimension their application calls for.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“We use the resize functionality to resize images versus saving different sized versions in Canto. If we didn’t use the resize feature, it would open up the risk for someone pulling a low-res file when they really should have been pulling a high-res file,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Streamlined collaboration with upload links\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the team outsources graphic design, they needed a way to get all of this external content into their Canto library. Every designer uploads artwork via a personalized upload link, and Jackie assigns these assets to specific folders or albums in their Canto library.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“We have a lot of upload links for third parties to use on a regular basis. Being a retail store, we do a lot of print signage materials. If it’s the final piece of art, a poster for a store, let’s say, that was created and designed by a third party, it will be uploaded to Canto via an upload link,” says Jackie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"273\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185430\u002Fimage002.png\" alt=\"Heinen's digital asset library with the filter search bar opened on the right side of the screen using keywords to   find assets using the filtered search  and images of "now hiring" advertising and memorial day advertising\" class=\"wp-image-57138\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185430\u002Fimage002.png 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2021\u002F04\u002F19185430\u002Fimage002-450x205.png 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The marketing team sees all completed artwork in Canto – even calling it the “news feed” for their department.

They’ve eliminated barriers to communication and unlocked opportunities for collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“We’re all sharing, uploading and downloading all the time.
