One of the most tangible ways that Ziflow helps you deliver your marketing projects faster is by providing a streamlined way to review new versions of creative content, side by side.  

Ziflow streamlines the review and approval of creative content to help you deliver your marketing projects faster, by improving your team's collaboration, centralizing feedback and eliminating manual steps through automated workflow.

Once you've signed up for Ziflow, you're on your way to replacing email, printouts and other ad-hoc methods for reviewing your creative content.

The first step in that journey is creating a new proof. 

Ziflow allows busy marketing teams to easily provide and collect feedback on a wide range of file types (documents, designs, etc.) within an intuitive interface, directly on the content being reviewed.  

Dropbox recently announced Showcase, a new capability within their Dropbox Business offering. In their words, Showcase is “a new way to share that puts your work in the best light”.  As Ziflow is singularly focused on helping marketers deliver their best work, we were interested to see how we might help our joint customers make the best use of Showcase.   

There’s a lot to love about the PDF format - the ability to compress large files, portability across the web and compatibility with almost any operating system makes it easy to work with, especially within creative and marketing teams, where activity is fast-paced and workloads are demanding.  

Now, thanks to Ziflow, marketers have a new option when it comes to leveraging PDFs as part of their project management workflow. Not only can Ziflow easily convert to PDF your native design files, image files or even Microsoft Office files, but they can also then use the newly minted PDFs to further work processes via notifications, file transfers or distribution actions.  For a single file or hundreds at a time.  

If you’re using Dropbox as your cloud storage, then you’re probably already sharing a few (or few hundred) files a day as part of your existing processes and workflow. As you start to juggle more and more projects simultaneously, manually sharing files and folders can not only start to take up more and more of your time, but can also be error-prone (sharing the wrong files, forgetting an important team member in the process, etc.).    

To support today’s wide-ranging digital channels, marketing teams tend to frequently move hundreds or even thousands of files daily. Online file sharing, such as FTP transfers can easily cause bottlenecks and other challenges if the right tools or services aren’t utilized. The ability to receive and deliver project files on a reliable basis is critical. Project and distribution delays occur when requests for files or delivery processes involve complex instructions, or even worse downloading and installing new software.

If you and your team utilize a consistent folder hierarchy as part of your marketing project management discipline, Ziflow has made it easier for you to create a new folder tree by automating the manual steps of folder creation.
