Introduction Our Media Database offers you a comprehensive selection of high-quality images and documents which you are officially permitted to use for the purposes of marketing EAO. All media files in this database meet the corporate design guidelines and are intended for use in both internal and external communication. The Media Database is structured according to communicative criteria (corporate, markets, applications, etc.) and file-related criteria (images, media, etc.). The clear overview of the media files provided by the Media Database s display makes it possible to search the database intuitively and effectively. The database also provides various additional search options. Thanks to the «download- and collectionlinks», you can send a selection of images and documents also to persons who do not have an access. They can then directly download them without having access to a cloud or an FTP server. If you cannot find a certain image in the database, or if you have additional image material to add to the database, please contact us via e-mail «media@eao.com». Our administrator will then get in touch with you to arrange the next steps. We hope that this application assists you in your communications tasks.

FAQ Who are the intended users of this database? This database is primarily aimed at employees of the EAO Group and official partner companies / distribution partners who stock our products. Is my previous login in the new database still valid? User with an existing login can as always log in with their personal e-mail and password. Otherwise please use the function forgot password What will I find in this database? What different media types does it contain? This database contains: images of products and applications, printable advertisements and multimedia animations. What is a ZIP file? When I download the requested files, all I see is a ZIP file. Where are my files? The ZIP file format is a compressed file format which saves on memory during archiving, and which also serves as a container file in which several sets of files or even entire directories can be compiled. For example, if you select three images from the database, you will receive a link to a single ZIP file. So you only have to download one file. Once downloaded to your hard-drive, the ZIP file can be opened by double-clicking on it, and the individual files which you have sourced from the database will be unpacked. If you select five images and two PDFs from the database, for example, these will then be turned into two ZIP files, as the images and PDFs each have a different file format. Then you use the same procedure. May I provide my distribution partner with my access details? No, this is not permitted. If your distribution partner wishes to access the database, they must apply through the official channels. Who manages the content of this database? The database s content is managed by the Corporate Communications Department. Following their release, new publications are added to the database as quickly as possible. Old files are removed at the same time. What is about istock pictures? istock pictures have limited licensing and must not be used for all purposes. Therefore, they are locked respectively may be ordered, with the time and user reason information, by Corporate Communications. What does «Asset» mean? «Assets» are contents like pictures, medias, documents, etc. Is there a possibility to send media assets to someone, who haven t access to the EAO media database?
