How Midea Increased Speed to Market and Eliminated Costly Photoshoots with imagine.io

1. Logistical Hassles in Traditional Photoshoots

Before engaging with imagine.io, one of Midea's primary challenges revolved around the logistical intricacies of traditional photoshoots. Shipping and installing products for each shoot became a cumbersome process, leading to delays and increased costs. Coordinating these activities, especially for larger appliances, required meticulous planning and often led to scheduling conflicts.

2. Limited Editing Capabilities

Traditional photoshoots provided limited flexibility once the images were captured. Any changes or edits necessitated a complete reshoot, creating bottlenecks in the content creation process. This lack of agility in post-production hindered our ability to respond swiftly to marketing needs and make real-time adjustments.

3. Cost and Time for Photoshoots

The financial implications of traditional photoshoots, coupled with the time required for planning and execution, posed a significant challenge. These costs were especially prohibitive for generating a high volume of diverse content needed for daily marketing activities.
