DPG Media, which operates a variety of TV, radio and print interests in Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark, has worked with Limecraft to develop a new solution that brings greater structure, security and efficiency to the content delivery process.
During 2023, DPG Media has worked with 60 different content producers on 1,400 individual episodes, creating series and episode trailers, social media assets, still images, material for electronic press kits and metadata.
“Getting everything we need at the right time, in the correct formats, to the required quality standards, has often been a big logistical headache and one that has only got worse as we have grown,” explained Wim Van de Voorde, executive producer with DPG.
The company began working with Limecraft on the development of a new content delivery process in December 2022, delivering the new Delivery Workspace module by the end of September 2023
“They believed there is a better way of managing this process and had drafted a blueprint for a solution,” added Limecraft co-founder Maarten Verwaest. “Co-incidentally this was an area we had also identified as needing improvement. When we saw DPG’s outline proposal we felt confident we could work with them to deliver an effective solution within the year. We collaborated on this over the next few weeks and a final specification came together very quickly.
“We could see a wider industry need for a more structured solution so it was exciting to bring this to life. Having worked with both broadcasters and production houses (such as Warner Bros and Hotel Hungaria) for many years, we could also ensure that everyone at both ends of the delivery process would have their needs met.”
