Legacy DAM platforms were
built to be vaults.
We built an engine.
Collage is a modern Digital Asset Management platform built for distribution, not enterprise complexity.
The Problem.
Assets live across drives, inboxes, and desktop folders. Partners rely on Slack messages and email threads to get what they need. Even teams with enterprise DAM systems often find themselves working around the platform to move faster.
Historically, DAM platforms were designed primarily for internal teams organizing and storing content, with external distribution treated as an afterthought. Over time, that inward focus led to layers of enterprise complexity, rising costs, and workflows that slow teams down.
Collage takes a different approach. It focuses on the essential capabilities modern brands actually need — with external distribution at the center.
The Solution.
Simplicity over features
We'd rather do four things perfectly than forty things poorly. Every feature earns its place.
Distribution first
Content that sits in a folder isn't working for you. We build for access, sharing, and reach — not just storage.
Design matters
If it doesn't feel good to use, people won't use it. We obsess over the experience, not just the feature list.
Built for growing brands
We build for the 50-person team, not the 5,000-person org. Quality DAM shouldn't require an enterprise budget.
The Backstory.
Collage was founded by Brandfolder alum Daniel Campbell and CEO Ross Durbin after years of working with marketing and advertising organizations that relied heavily on content but struggled with management and distribution — despite trying to find ideal solutions.
They observed consistent patterns: teams invested in sophisticated DAM platforms but still relied on manual workarounds to serve partners, agencies, sales teams, and retailers. Small and mid-market organizations needed quality DAM functionality but didn't fully leverage enterprise platforms — and sometimes suffered from their complexity and degrading support. And across the board, constantly rising prices were deterring both long-time users and new adopters.
Rather than building another feature-heavy system, Collage was designed from the ground up to focus on essential functionality over enterprise complexity. By maintaining this focus and leveraging years of category experience paired with modern technology, Collage makes DAM fundamentally more affordable without sacrificing impact.
