Static assets can do more when you turn them into motion. The Animations Maker App shows how teams can create GIFs and spritesheets inside Cloudinary’s DAM, with controls for frame order, timing, previews, and exports. https://okt.to/nxG0Al

In accessibility circles, institutions are said to only ever have two reasons for not implementing it: too expensive, or no time. Sound familiar? ITPro published a really honest piece on why WCAG compliance keeps falling short of good intentions. Cloudinary's Eric Portis and Sanjay Sarathy both share their insights - Eric on why developers who care aren't getting the resources to act, and Sanjay on what it looks like when accessibility becomes something a company can genuinely stand behind with its customers. https://okt.to/WPLj0F

Most brands have video. Few are actually getting results from it. There's a reason for that, and it usually comes down to where you are on the video maturity curve.

We'll also share how brands like Paul Smith (+45% in sales) and Hydrow (+75% Core Web Vitals improvement) got there. 📅 June 25 | 8:00 a.m. PDT / 11:00 a.m. EDT Spots are still open, register below. 👇 https://okt.to/sNiR4Q

"When we're dropping new seasons to the market, it's always a busy moment. We receive tons of assets and requests from our agencies and partners. To have an automated platform helping manage that — where someone can request access and we just approve it — is a real efficiency driver for the whole team." — Jacopo Capister, Brand Marketing Lead, Dickies® EMEA Dickies migrated 200,000+ images into Cloudinary, built a branded portal for hundreds of external users, and connected their DAM directly to Shopify so product pages stay fresh without manual work.

TV is no longer a one-way channel. As streaming made video always-on and discovery-driven, the line between Netflix, TikTok, and YouTube has effectively disappeared. It’s all just content now, delivered across whatever screen is closest or preferred. And that behavioral shift is reshaping how brands need to think about video. Cloudinary's Aaron Smedley, GM of Shopify, shares his perspective on what this means for brands trying to reach audiences in that environment – and why the bar for video quality, speed, and relevance has never been higher. https://okt.to/gdLkxs

When you're a lean marketing team dropping new seasons across EMEA, the last thing you need is your inbox full of image requests. That was the reality for Dickies® before Cloudinary.

Now, users request assets through a branded portal. Marketers approve with a click. Images flow automatically from DAM into Shopify. Channel-ready formats are a preset not a manual export.

Connected TV is brutally unforgiving of bad visual content. Cloudinary's Aaron Smedley, GM of Shopify, makes the point clearly in Business2Community - the moment a viewer encounters content that's slow, low quality, or irrelevant, they're gone. And unlike other channels, there's rarely a second chance to win them back. That's what makes visual content so critical in a CTV environment. You’ve got to earn their attention in the first few seconds or risk abandonment. https://okt.to/57Mbug
