Abstract

Content creation and deployment collaboration techniques are described. In one or more implementations, metadata that describes the creation of the content may be associated with the content. The content may then be provided from a content creation service to a content deployment service for deployment as part of a marketing activity. Deployment data obtained from this tracking may be utilized to support a variety of functionality, such as by content creators to determine which of their content has been successfully employed as part of marketing activities, marketers may also use knowledge of the deployment of the content to choose content to be included in a marketing activity as well as select content creators that are best suited to provide this content, used to configure badges, by retailers and manufacturers, and so forth.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. In a digital medium environment for creating and deploying at least one item of digital content, a system comprising:
a content creation service system implemented by a processing system and a computer readable storage medium of at least one computing device the content creation service system including functionality that is accessible to content creators via a network to create the at least one item of digital content; and
a content deployment service system implemented by the processing system and the computer readable storage medium of the at least one computing device, the content deployment service system configured to:
receive the at least one item of digital content having associated data, the associated data including metadata describing characteristics of the at least one item of digital content, the data further describing a device type via which the at least one item of digital content is to be deployed and a type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
search a data storage that includes a plurality of other digital content by comparing the data of the at least one item of digital content with data of the plurality of other digital content;
identify instances of the plurality of other digital content deployed on the device type and with the type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
select an instance of the plurality of other digital content from the identified instances with a highest weighting value for the device type and type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content, the weighting value generated based on data indicating past performance of respective instances of the plurality of other digital content as previously deployed on the device type and using the type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
generate a suggestion of a change to be made to at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content based on a comparison of the instance of the plurality of other digital content with the at least one item of digital content; and
display, in a user interface, the suggestion of the change to be made to the at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content.

2. A system as described in claim 1 , wherein the metadata of the at least one item of digital content also describes characteristics of a device used to create the digital content.

3. A system as described in claim 1 , wherein the suggestion of a change to be made to at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content is further based on deployment data that describes how and when the plurality of other digital content is accessed.

4. A system as described in claim 3 , wherein the described characteristics of the at least one item of digital content include identification of one or more objects in the digital content or scene classification.

5. A system as described in claim 1 , wherein the metadata of the at least one item of digital content also describes environmental conditions of a scene in which the at least one item of digital content is captured, the environmental conditions including a scene classification, lighting conditions, or whether the environment is likely indoors or outdoors.

6. A system as described in claim 1 , wherein the suggestion of a change to be made to at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content is further based on deployment data that describes a number of times the plurality of other digital content is accessed.

7. In a digital medium environment for creating and deploying at least one item of digital content, a method implemented by a client device comprising:
accessing a content creation service system via a network to create the at least one item of digital content, the content creation service system implemented by one or more computing devices;
causing the content to be communicated by the content creation service to a content deployment service system, the content deployment service system configured to:
receive the at least one item of digital content having associated data, the associated data including metadata describing characteristics of the at least one item of digital content, the data further describing a device type via which the at least one item of digital content is to be deployed and a type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
search a data storage that includes a plurality of other digital content by comparing the data of the at least one item of digital content with data of the plurality of other digital content;
identify instances of the plurality of other digital content deployed on the device type and with the type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
select an instance of the plurality of other digital content from the identified instances with a highest weighting value for the device type and type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content, the weighting value generated based on data indicating past performance of respective instances of the plurality of other digital content as previously deployed on the device type and using the type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
generate a suggestion of a change to be made to at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content based on a comparison of the instance of the plurality of other digital content with the at least one item of digital content; and
display, in a user interface, the suggestion of the change to be made to the at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content.

8. A method as described in claim 7 , wherein the suggestion of a change to be made to at least one of the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content if further based on deployment data that describes a number of times the plurality of other digital content is accessed.

9. A method as described in claim 8 , wherein the deployment data further describes how and when the plurality of other digital content is accessed.

10. A method as described in claim 8 , wherein the characteristics of the at least one item of digital content include characteristics of a device used to capture the at least one item of digital content, the characteristics including one or more of device type, flash usage, focal length, aperture values, exposure time, zoom level, digital versus analog zoom, lens type, or device identifier.

11. A method as described in claim 7 , wherein the metadata of the at least one item of digital content identifies one or more applications used to create the digital content.

12. In a digital medium environment for creating and deploying at least one item of digital content, a system comprising one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving the at least one item of digital content having associated data, the associated data including metadata describing characteristics of the at least one item of digital content, the data further describing a device type via which the at least one item of digital content is to be deployed and a type of communication to be used to communicate the at least one item of digital content;
searching a data storage that includes a plurality of other digital content by comparing the data of the at least one item of digital content with da
