Big news from Belgium! 🎉

Hans and Kas hit the road last week for a business trip to our southern neighbors, and we’re excited to share that Fremantle Belgium is now part of the MediaLab fam! After a great meeting, we’re thrilled to welcome them as a new client. Looking forward to supporting their media workflows and making collaboration even smoother! 💪

But that wasn’t all. Next stop was Thomas More-hogeschool, where we had the opportunity to showcase MediaLab to students and industry enthusiasts. Theme of the day was Remote Production and we showcased two of our cases.

A big thank you to Thomas More for the invite. Always great to connect, share our story, and inspire the next generation. 🚀

Remember those sunny days of summer last year? We know it's hard with all these moody days now, but let us take you back for a moment! 🌞

Last summer, together with The Social House, we were at Defqon.1. Not to dance (unfortunately), but hard at work. 💪 During the festival, visitors could upload their user-generated content via The Social House’s portal straight into our platform. From there, our AI-powered tagging automatically added meta tags, making life a lot easier for the Defqon.1 content managers.

Curious about how it all worked? We wrote a blog with all the details. Check it out if you want to give UGC a go too!

We had lots to celebrate yesterday! 🎉 Not only did Yuriy blow out an unspecified number of candles, but our intern Katarina also finished her internship at MediaLab with a whopping 9! We’re incredibly proud of her. So proud, in fact, that Katarina will be staying with us for another six months! 🥳

To celebrate, we visited Doloris in Utrecht and had an unforgettable interactive maze adventure. Despite some bruised knees, we all made it out unscathed! 💪✨

Managing roles and permissions effectively can be the difference between smooth workflows and chaos—or worse, a security breach.

Are you confident in your setup? 🤔

Check out our blog to discover why solid user management is the cornerstone of secure and efficient operations.

Recently, we changed our slogan to "All your media workflows start with us." Why, you may ask? Because we believe our platform is much more than "just a MAM" or a "media distribution" solution.

We may have started that way over 10 years ago, but today, we’re focused on being a full-service SaaS solution for anyone working with large volumes of media. Yes, you can still use our platform as a MAM or "just" a media distribution tool—but we offer so much more. That's where we believe MediaLab makes a difference.

Consider, for instance, our workflow features, designed to automate tedious tasks for your organization. Or our press portals, where you can distribute media in an organized and structured way. Or even our advanced user role management; each feature connects seamlessly, all to improve your media workflows.

What do you think of our new slogan? 🚀

Remember when we implemented reactions for comments a while back? Thanks to all the positive feedback we received, we took it one step further and added the option to react to files too! 🥳

There are many ways you can use these reactions: think of a basic review and approval process, or turn your MediaLab into your own social media platform. The sky is the limit! 🚀☁️💫🛸

Secure your media with dynamic watermarking 🔒

Sharing media under embargo or exclusive content can feel risky. Dynamic watermarking helps reduce the risk of leaks and allows you to trace the source if something goes wrong. 🕵️‍♀️

Whether you’re sharing teasers, promos, or other exclusive material, MediaLab adds a unique, visible watermark that includes the recipient’s email address—without altering the original file.

Ready to upgrade your media security? Discover how dynamic watermarking works and why it's the solution for secure media sharing.

Recently, our dev team uncovered a time capsule, and we can't believe this is how we used to do things back in the day. It’s a reminder of just how far we’ve come with our user interface and the platform's development to where it is now, more than 10 years later. 🥹

Which version do you like better? Should we bring the orange back? 🤔
