Melissa - CEO of Small Entertainment Photo Agency

For 15 years it felt like I spent all of my time delivering my photos to my agents and partners around the world. I would upload the photos to one agent, wait for the photos to finish uploading, then move to the next agent and start the process again. Even with a high-speed Internet connection it took what seemed like forever - not to mention the difficulty trying to keep track of what I sent to whom. When I was away from the office, my problems compounded. Trying to send my content from the road, over a 3G network, to all of my clients is what I call cruel and unusual punishment.

I started using Mainstream's MediasFTP system a couple of months ago, and I would guess that on average, MediasFTP is saving me five hours a day. Instead of sending to each of my customers individually, I upload the photos to Mainstream once, and their system does the rest. My photos are automatically delivered to all of my clients simultaneously according to the groups I defined in advance, and the photos are delivered at incredible speeds. My photos get to my customers faster, the photos are much easier to keep track of, and I sleep better at night knowing that my content is where it is supposed to be. I also love that the MediasFTP system includes a web-based monitoring and reporting tool, so I can double check the delivery system at any time.

Now that I have used Mainstream's automated FTP system, I will never go back to manually uploading my photos to my customers. I am spending more time in the field taking photos and generating revenue for my business.
