Online management functions

cosnova adopted iBrams, a brand management solution designed to help enterprises maintain iron-clad brand control while still producing a wide range of marketing materials for virtually all types of media.

iBrams serves as a central connection point for everyone involved in the creation of cosnova advertising materials, including creative agencies, translators, and local distributors. When an ad requires an update, a contributor can change the template online and make it instantly available for everyone’s benefit.

Jochen Scheinberger, cosnova‘s trade marketing manager, says his company chose iBrams for its ease of use and accessibility via a web browser. “Compared to other solutions, the iBrams technology based on Adobe InDesign Server software is easy to handle,” he says. “iBrams can precisely accommodate many of our specific requirements, such as graphic design options, in compliance with specified layouts.”

Today, cosnova manages all templates for communication material with iBrams. The system ensures that no outdated content or assets are used and guarantees a uniform brand image across Europe.

Challenge and analysis cosnova GmbH

Automation streamlines the production process

The cosmetic brands essence and Catrice are synonymous for affordable and very trendy cosmetic products. The company behind both brands is cosnova - a trendsetter in cosmetics industry.

Key to cosnova’s success is the fact that the company has always produced advertising materials in a wide variety of languages. But as the production process became increasingly complicated, time-intensive, and expensive, cosnova looked for an automated solution that could help boost efficiency and drive down costs.

After just five years in business, cosnova became the secondlargest cosmetics manufacturer in the German market. Its products are now sold in more than 15 European nations.

And what is the benefit for cosnova? With the user-friendly, web-based iBrams solution, cosnova’s employees and partners can produce advertising materials on demand. And by centrally storing approved ad templates within the

iBrams system, cosnova ensures brand integrity while allowing for customization based on target market or region.
