Fast Throughput and Collaboration For Agencies

Agencies and Brands
can offload sizeable creative works to a fast, affordable,
and secure digital archive with instant access to assets at any time

How do we add value?

Become that agency that’s ultra responsive and first to be called when a brief is in the air, or turnaround a production in record time by reducing the shoot to final cut with accelerated media transfer from the field to the editing room.

With all your campaigns archived in a fast, searchable and shareable platform, you can respond to clients in an instant whilst your competitors are still scrambling to find that SD-Card or trawling through folders on your in-house NAS or DAM.

What makes us different?

Between the shoot and the final cut, media gets scattered, overwritten, and forgotten. We preserve your media from the moment it’s shot on location to the time of disposal, with 24x7x365 access in between.

Our Preferred-EXT submission portal uses Signiant’s Media Shuttle technology which accelerates the transfer of large files from you to us even over low bandwidth from remote locations.

We free up your in-house production storage to hold more work in progress by providing an offtake location for completed projects, and then provide much better tools to find work from metadata than your file server or Digital Asset Management platform.

Our API can integrate to your existing systems and workflows, embedding media safekeeping into the flow of your work.

If you have ever lost production work, struggled to track licence and talent usage, filled up your servers, had a cyber-attack, or struggled to defend an unclear retention policy, we feel your pain, and we have the cure.

What our clients say

I didn’t know where to start, so I asked Preferred Media. They assessed the tapes for degradation, then remediated to the best possible capture. I was very happy with the results – professional standard digitised files. PM are the exports - it was fantastic that they knew all about it, so the whole process was really easy for me. That’s why I trust them with my archive for almost 20 years.
