by
18th
century
reenactors.

outdoor
recreation,

assets,

website.
Deliverables
include
seasonal
homepage
hero
videos
and
five
short-form

season
featuring
individual
locations,

promotional
efforts.
Summer filming will include two (2) drone production days, while winter filming will include one (1)
drone
production
day.
Anticipated
filming

Bay,
harbor
and
waterfront
areas,

The project will result in the creation of two seasonal website hero videos, as well as a collection of
short-form
social
media
videos
designed
to
extend
the
value
of
the
footage
across
multiple
marketing
channels.

storytelling
approach
as
the
Visit
Sitka
website:
https://visitsitka.org
This reference is intended to illustrate the style, pacing, and immersive use of destination footage.
Final
creative
direction,
locations,
and
content
will
be
customized
to
reflect
Superior's
unique
character,
landscapes,
recreation
opportunities,
and
community
assets.

Digital Asset Management
A centralized, tourism-led DAM with controlled access that enables cross-departmental
use
while
maintaining
brand
integrity,
organization,
and
ease
of
use.
Description: This estimate includes the annual software subscription and agency services required

organize,
and
launch
a
Digital
Asset
Management
(DAM)
platform
for
Superior
tourism’s
growing

assets.
A
DAM
is
a
centralized,

As Superior tourism’s photo and video library continues to grow, a dedicated DAM helps ensure assets
are
securely
stored,
consistently
organized,
and
easy
to
search
and
access
by
approved
staff,

This
proposal
includes
a
SnapPea
Standard
(1TB
Storage)
DAM-only
subscription
at
$6,670
per
year,
which
includes
access
to
the
DAM
platform,
Media
Centre,
and
Galleries.
These
tools
support
centralized
storage,
keyword
and
metadata
tagging,
controlled
user
access,
and
efficient
retrieval
of
approved
assets.
In addition to the software subscription, our team will complete a one-time Year 1 setup and
organization
process
that
includes
auditing
approximately
four
years
of
existing
photo
and
video
archives,
identifying
and
curating
the
strongest
and
most
useful
assets,
uploading
selected
content
into
the
platform,
applying
consistent
file
naming
conventions
and
metadata
tagging,
and
building
a
clear
folder
and
library
structure.
We
will
also
review
and
organize
available
usage
rights
information
associated
with
existing
assets,
establish
governance
standards
and
workflows
for
how
content
is
added
and
maintained
over
time,
and
provide
up
to
two
(2)
hours
of
training
for
key
staff
so
the
system
can
be
used
confidently
and
consistently
from
launch.
The result will be a structured, searchable, and ready-to-use media library that supports current
marketing
and
tourism
efforts
while
also
improving
long-term
continuity,
access,
and
usability
across
teams.
The
SnapPea
account
will
be
owned
by
the
City
of
Superior
for
tourism
use,
and
all
assets
uploaded
to
the
platform
will
remain
under
your
organization’s
control
and
accessible
to
authorized
users
at
all
times.
User

functionality
is
not
included
in
the
SnapPea
Standard
tier
reflected
in
this
estimate,
but
additional
features
can
be
added
in
the
future
if
the
program
needs
to
expand.

Setup and Organization
One-time Year 1 audit, curation, organization, and upload of Superior tourism’s photo and video assets into the SnapPea DAM, including review of approximately four years of archives, selection and organization of the strongest assets, file naming and metadata standardization, available rights/usage organization, folder structure development, workflow setup, and up to two (2) hours of staff training to create a searchable, ready-to-use media library. Additional training available if needed - billed at an hourly rate. This initial effort reflects the one-time process of auditing and retroactively organizing existing assets for DAM implementation.
