Trusted by Enterprise Brand Custodians & DAM Directors

See how global retail brands, tech companies, and entertainment studios eliminated multi-month asset backlogs with SageDoer.

"We migrated over 180,000 product photography assets into Bynder after an enterprise rebrand. Manually auditing metaproperties, SKU mappings, and rights clearances was going to take our in-house team 9 months. Our SageDoer VA completed the ingestion and controlled vocabulary tagging in 10 weeks with zero taxonomy errors."

"Having a dedicated Project Manager is huge for digital asset management. Our PM conducts internal QA on metadata hierarchies and verifies that our Brandfolder public collections follow our exact licensing guidelines. We slashed our asset search time for global sales reps by 75%."

David G. Head of Content & Media Architecture, SaaS Enterprise, Austin, TX

"We used to pay an in-house digital asset coordinator $5,200/month just to clean up Canto tags and handle photo resizing requests from our PR agency. SageDoer gives us 40 hours of rigorous weekly coverage for $960/month. We save over $48,000 every single year while improving asset discoverability."

Clear Answers for Creative Operations Leaders

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about delegating metadata schemas, rights management, and enterprise DAM maintenance.

Intellectual property security is our highest operational priority. Every SageDoer Virtual Assistant and Project Manager signs a comprehensive, legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). VAs access your DAM systems (Bynder, Brandfolder, Canto, AEM) via encrypted role-based credentials managed through enterprise password vaults (1Password/LastPass). We work strictly within your defined cloud environments—meaning high-res creative files, raw video footage, and unreleased campaign assets are never downloaded or stored onto unencrypted local drives.
Yes. During onboarding (Phase 2), your dedicated Project Manager reviews your taxonomy documentation, IPTC/XMP guidelines, product SKU structures, and brand asset conventions. Your assistant follows your controlled vocabulary registries strictly—preventing tag sprawl, duplicate keywords, and misspellings that degrade DAM search algorithms. They can also assist in drafting metadata crosswalks when migrating from legacy file servers to cloud DAMs.
Unlike unmanaged freelance marketplaces where creative directors waste 15+ hours a week babysitting contractors and auditing spreadsheet tags, SageDoer builds institutional quality assurance directly into the service. Your Project Manager acts as your single point of contact, conducts QA checks on asset tagging batches, validates rights expiration logs, monitors hours, and coordinates instant replacement coverage if your assistant is unavailable.
Yes. Enterprise brands frequently undertake massive migrations from disorganized Google Drive or Box folders into structured DAM platforms like Canto, Bynder, or Brandfolder. Your assistant can systematically work through folder trees: batch-renaming assets according to ISO date standards, generating CSV metadata import manifests, deduplicating files, and verifying that ingestion batches upload cleanly with all rendition presets generated.
None. We offer 100% transparent flat pricing ($7/hour for Part-Time 20 hrs/week, or $6/hour for Full-Time 40 hrs/week) with zero platform fees, zero onboarding fees, and no minimum contract lock-ins. You only pay for verified productive hours worked on a simple, consolidated USD invoice.
