","\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From exciting research to student life and athletics, there’s a lot going on at the University of Wyoming. To support marketing initiatives that bring the full spectrum of UW programs and student experiences to life, UW’s institutional marketing team supplies departments across campus with powerful images, videos, and other collateral.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating all that content isn’t easy. And making it easily available to everyone who needs it is a feat of coordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how do they do it?

But creating impactful content is only half the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“A big priority for me is making sure my team’s work is going somewhere,” says Associate Director of Creative Services Emily Edgar. “Are those assets getting to all the people on campus who amplify our brand? Are they being seen by the audience they’re intended for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before UW started using Canto, making brand assets available to marketers, departments, and other partners was a challenge. Visual content got buried in an outdated database that was hard to navigate. People would spend hours looking for images, only to overlook the best options or be unable to find what they need. As a result, UW’s creative services team was bombarded with requests to help find or recreate content.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"363\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F18185823\u002Funiversity-wyoming-stats-simple.png\" alt=\"Black block text: With Canto, creative workflows are up 83% faster, 15k+ assets managed and centralized in one platform, 83%  creative workflow efficiency increase, 200+ design projects per year streamlined and improved, over a pink background \" class=\"wp-image-68570\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F18185823\u002Funiversity-wyoming-stats-simple.png 818w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F18185823\u002Funiversity-wyoming-stats-simple-450x200.png 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F18185823\u002Funiversity-wyoming-stats-simple-768x341.png 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With Canto, creative workflows are up to 83% faster\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emily soon realized that a more functional content library was the key to empowering partners across campus — while simultaneously freeing her team from asset requests so they could focus on higher-value creative work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Canto, she found the perfect solution. UW’s staff, departments, and administrators now have curated collections of on-brand images at their fingertips in a searchable, user-friendly \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fcanto-portals-better-way-to-distribute-digital-assets\u002F\">Portal\u003C\u002Fa>. Metadata like keywords and Smart Tags make it easy to find the perfect visuals in UW’s library of 15,000+ digital assets. If someone needs an image of student athletes playing basketball, they can just type in “basketball,” and they’re all right there. To narrow things down, they can filter results to see just images in landscape. Or just images from the latest season or game. Or even use facial recognition to find a specific student athlete.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"440\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183928\u002Fuw-canto-library-view-filter-basketball.jpg\" alt=\"University of Wyoming Canto library filtered to show images of basketball players.\" class=\"wp-image-64530\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183928\u002Fuw-canto-library-view-filter-basketball.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183928\u002Fuw-canto-library-view-filter-basketball-450x248.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183928\u002Fuw-canto-library-view-filter-basketball-768x422.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creative team is no longer spending most of their time fielding requests from other departments. And they benefit from Canto’s powerful search features as well — workflows on the creative services team are now up to 83% faster. “Before Canto, I would spend about an hour per design project just procuring photos,” Emily recalls. “Now it takes about 10 minutes. With 200+ design projects a year, that really adds up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other departments are more efficient, too\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s not just the institutional marketing team seeing productivity skyrocket. Easy access to amazing visual assets helps staff, academic departments, and administrators accelerate their own project timelines. Instead of requesting images — or creating new content themselves — they can just grab what they need from Canto and go.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Instead of angry emails from people asking where their images are, I’m receiving emails of gratitude from other departments,” Emily says.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A built-in brand guide makes it easy for anyone creating content to stay on brand. And because users can download images in the exact dimensions they need, UW’s designers don’t have to step in to keep them from getting squished or stretched by resizing attempts gone awry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"461\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183927\u002Fuw-canto-style-guide.jpg\" alt=\"University of Wyoming style guide using Canto's interactive Style Guide\" class=\"wp-image-64531\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183927\u002Fuw-canto-style-guide.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183927\u002Fuw-canto-style-guide-450x259.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2024\u002F04\u002F19183927\u002Fuw-canto-style-guide-768x443.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Each piece of content now has more impact, lowering costs and advancing strategic goals\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With impactful brand assets at everyone’s fingertips, content creators and distributors at UW aren’t just more productive.
