Case Study: Columbus College of Art & Design streamlines asset management and collaboration with PhotoShelter for Brands

Columbus College of Art & Design Masters Collaboration with PhotoShelter

Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD), a private art school in Columbus, Ohio, struggled to manage a rapidly growing library of visual assets across its campus and creative teams. With files buried in local folders, slow searches, limited collaboration, and weak controls for sensitive content, CCAD needed a centralized digital asset management solution from PhotoShelter for Brands to organize, access, and share images more efficiently.

PhotoShelter for Brands implemented a centralized DAM with customizable metadata, AI-powered search, direct uploads, and password-protected sharing. The result was faster asset discovery, fewer workflow bottlenecks, and stronger security for NDA-bound projects; Ryan Feeney said the AI search saved “hours” during a website rebuild and helped the team “cut out a lot of steps” in their workflow.
