General Storage vs Marketing Operations
Asset Discovery
Wonderful
AI automatically tags assets by visual content, campaign, brand, and format. Search by visual similarity—find assets that look like your reference. No manual tagging or folder navigation required.
Google Drive
Powerful text search including image recognition. But organization relies on manual folder structures and filenames. Finding specific creative assets requires remembering where they're stored.
Campaign Workflow
Wonderful
Research trends → Brief campaigns → Create/import assets → Review & approve → Launch to ad platforms → Track performance. Complete marketing workflow with assets at the center.
Google Drive
Store files and collaborate on docs. Download assets when needed. Upload to ad platforms manually. Track campaigns in separate tools. Drive is just the storage layer.
Brand Consistency
Wonderful
Built-in brand guidelines automatically validate creative assets before approval. Color palettes, logo usage, and font compliance checked against your brand kit.
Google Drive
Store brand guideline documents in shared folders. Teams manually reference guidelines. No automated checking or enforcement of brand standards.
