Case Study: Port of Seattle streamlines secure media sharing with PhotoShelter for Brands

Anchoring the Port of Seattle’s Digital Media Strategy with PhotoShelter

The Port of Seattle, which supports Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, cruise terminals, and marinas, needed a more scalable and user-friendly way to manage and share its large media archive. Its communications team was struggling with file sharing, limited tagging and search, manual brand-asset distribution, and weak access controls across internal teams and external partners, and turned to PhotoShelter for Brands to solve these digital asset management challenges.

With PhotoShelter for Brands, the Port of Seattle centralized its media into a secure, scalable hub with easier sharing, password-protected access, site-wide permission controls, and AI-powered search and tagging. The result was a much faster and more efficient workflow: assets only need to be uploaded once, partners can access approved files quickly, and the team can keep operating even during internal disruptions, including a cyber incident that did not affect PhotoShelter access.
