Brand management portal

Brand management software for brands marketing across hundreds of locations. Your guidelines, templates, and approvals in one system, so local teams can customize what they need without waiting on your central team.

Keep guidelines where people actually work

Guidelines in a PDF get read once and then ignored. Put them in the same place as the templates and assets people use, and they get followed. Set your rules for logo use, colour, tone and imagery, then link straight to the approved files that follow them.

Local customization, without the approval queue

Your team builds the template once and decides which parts stay locked. Locations change the text, swap an image, add their address and opening hours, then publish. Nothing goes out off-brand, and nobody's waiting three days for sign-off on a change of phone number.

Approvals only where you need them

Some content needs a check before it goes live. Most doesn't. Set approval flows on the campaigns and asset types that matter, and let everything else run without your team in the middle of it.

See who's using the brand, and who isn't

You get a clear view of which locations are active, which templates get used and which assets are being downloaded. That tells you where adoption is strong and which locations need a nudge, rather than guessing at it.

Questions we get asked

A few things that come up in most first conversations, answered before you have to ask.

What's the difference between a brand portal and a brand management portal? In practice, mostly the same thing. The two terms get used interchangeably, and vendors pick whichever they prefer, so don't read too much into it. Where you do see a real difference is scope. Some brand portals are little more than a guidelines page with a download button, while a brand management portal usually means the fuller set: creating and customizing content, approvals, distribution, and reporting alongside the assets. Marvia is the second kind. Either way, it's a portal your central team and your locations both log into.
Is a brand management platform the same as a DAM? No. A DAM stores and organizes files. That solves finding the right logo, but it doesn't help a location produce a poster for a local event. A brand management platform adds templates, permissions, and distribution on top, so local teams can create approved content themselves rather than just downloading assets.
How long does it take to get a brand management system running? Most brands are live within weeks rather than months. The work is mainly in deciding which parts of your templates stay locked and which locations get which permissions. We do that with you during onboarding.
Can local teams use it without training? That's the point of locking the template. A location only sees the fields they're allowed to change, so there's no design decision to get wrong. Central teams need a short walkthrough of the guidelines and approval settings.
Does it work for dealer and reseller networks as well as franchises? Yes. The pattern is the same wherever a central brand team supports partners who market locally. See our dealer network page for how that plays out.
