Extensis publishes metadata best practices guide for creative teams
DAM Cowboy · W28 · July 2026
Extensis released a practical guide to metadata structure aimed at creative teams managing client work. The advice is foundational: use consistent naming, define required fields before upload, train contributors on taxonomy. The tone is pragmatic (metadata protects revenue by making assets findable), not theoretical. For teams without formal DAM training, this is a usable checklist. For teams with formal programs, it is a reminder that metadata discipline starts at capture, not cleanup.
