Visuals directly translate to more engagement and can be the difference between "just another article" and a post blowing up the Internet. RebelMouse offers an elegant solution with the digital asset manager, which is a centralized image database integrated into our entry editor and designed to help editor efficiency. All admins will have access to DAM where they will be able to add new images easily and use existing ones with few simple steps.
