The challenge: Storing and managing media files without the headaches

As Head of Creative Multimedia at Personal Branding Agency – Arcbound, Brent Funkhouser’s top priority was to get a large amount of video, podcast, and design files organized and accessible for everyone who needed them. When Brent joined the agency in 2020, he inherited media spread across Dropbox, Google Drive, and WeTransfer links, which Brent knew was unsustainable for a business growing at pace.

“Before Stockpress, we were constantly running into issues with our old file management system,” Brent said. “Google Suite wasn’t cutting it. Our files were huge, and we kept hitting storage limits. Plus, we had to delete stuff just to make room for new files, and sometimes, things would get lost in the shuffle.”

With creative content like podcasts and videos at the core of Arcbound’s work, it was clear that they needed something better—something easy, reliable, and able to scale with the growing business.

The solution: Simple and effective Digital Asset Management for Creative Teams

After exploring a few options, Arcbound landed on Stockpress, and honestly? It was a game-changer. Brent and his team quickly fell in love with Stockpress’ for its user-friendly digital asset management features that made managing their big multimedia files easier than ever. “One of the best things about Stockpress is how easy it is to find files,” Brent shared. “The visual interface makes it so much easier to spot what we need. No more digging through folders or dealing with endless lists of files.”

But the love didn’t stop there. Stockpress also helped Arcbound streamline collaboration with clients. “The ability to share links that automatically update when we add new files is huge,” Brent said. “No more sending clients new links every time we upload something. The link just updates, and they have access to everything they need.”

Brent also mentioned the added bonus of security. “Stockpress lets us create custom roles for clients so they only see what they need to see. It’s secure and easy, which means everyone can work with peace of mind.”

Results: More time for creativity, less time managing files

Switching to Stockpress had an immediate impact on Arcbound’s productivity. The creative team spent less time organizing and more time creating. “The fact that we can find files faster means we can get things done quicker,” Brent explained. “That’s a big win for us. No more running around trying to recover files or dealing with storage headaches.”

For Brent, the decision to move away from Dropbox and Google Suite is one that paid off big time. “Honestly, without Stockpress, we’d still be in the weeds. We’d either have to delete files constantly or spend a ton of money upgrading our storage. Neither option was ideal.”

Looking ahead: Arcbound’s future with Stockpress

As Brent prepares for another period of growth with Arcbound, he’s confident that Stockpress will continue to play a big role in the creative team’s workflow. “The team will continue to be in Stockpress all day, every day,” Brent said. “I have no doubt about that. It’s just made everything easier and more efficient.”

Brent’s advice to other creative teams? “Stockpress is easy to use, flexible, and has all the features you need. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat. It’s saved us time, energy, and headaches. Plus, it’s just a great product to work with.”
