With nearly 200 worldwide events and tournaments every year, each demanding massive amounts of data, our client in global action sports has no time for spotty platform performance or delays. Filming extreme sporting events results in dozens of terabytes of video content. These assets include once-in-a-lifetime record-breaking moments used in live streams, social and web content, and highlight packages on both owned channels and with media partners. This content keeps their 7.3 million social media fans up-to-date on the athletes they love and, in turn, increases engagement, brand loyalty and profits. When you’re distributing footage of a world-class athlete making history with a flawlessly performed stunt, a gap in content is not an option. They needed a reliable, secure solution that fit into their existing pipeline, integrated with their production applications and kept track of multiple revisions.

Frustrated over the lack of a standard content management system and platform, the Head of Post Production for the property contacted Shift Media for a solution. They had hundreds of users needing a standardized workflow. Confusion and lack of consistency between key video production stakeholders caused by disparate file management systems were tremendous problems. The fact that they held events worldwide only added a layer of difficulty to their existing workflow, with unreliable internet connections and services making the distribution of assets back and forth to the United States incredibly challenging and time-consuming.
