What MediaBeacon is
MediaBeacon is an enterprise digital asset management platform for finding, managing, reviewing, and distributing digital content. Teams can tag assets using their own vocabulary, then search and filter by keywords, color, synonyms, relationships, and availability. Metadata supports enterprise search and permissions, including controls for individuals, groups, and roles. Version history and approval workflows help centralize feedback and sign-off, while brand portals let teams share assets internally or externally. Designers can access content through Adobe Creative Cloud applications using the Adobe Connector. The platform supports 3D models, digital ads, and file types including PDF, PSD, PNG, JPG, video, and Microsoft Office files. It can be hosted in the cloud or on premise, including on a customer’s server or cloud. MediaBeacon is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted environments. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.
