Google Cloud and Philips Collaborate to Drive Consumer Marketing Innovation

Google Cloud helps streamline marketing processes, enhancing brand consistency and reducing operational costs

Google Cloud announced a collaboration with the Philips Personal Health Business to modernize its global image library and content marketing systems. Leveraging Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, Philips has developed a solution that enables asset management with unprecedented speed and scale, significantly reducing operational costs, enhancing brand consistency, and accelerating marketing agility.

Philips needed a better way to manage visual consistency across its broad product portfolio and growing digital presence. With thousands of marketing assets across its portfolio, the existing process was complex, time-intensive, and hard to scale. However, with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and advanced models from Model Garden, it successfully processed and matched over 200,000 images into 8,000 unique, brand-aligned assets in a matter of hours. This process eliminated duplicates and outdated visuals, drastically simplified asset governance, and ensured consistent brand representation.

“Powered by Google’s AI, this breakthrough in asset management is transforming how we work,” said Claudia Calori, Head of Marketing Excellence, Personal Health at Philips. “Through our partnership with Google Cloud, we’re ensuring brand consistency, compliance and accuracy while helping increase efficiency in our operations to re-invest our time and attention on accelerating true innovation, and building deeper, more meaningful connections with our consumers. We see tremendous strategic potential in this technology, and we’re excited to shape the future of content management.”

The solution achieves this remarkable speed and accuracy thanks to a custom algorithm that recognizes visual structure and similarity – even when images have been cropped, resized, or reformatted. This advanced approach not only solves current challenges but also lays the groundwork for future automation and scalable asset operations. This innovation marks a major leap forward for Philips’ asset lifecycle management strategy, ensuring that consumers always encounter the latest product visuals and messaging. By using advanced visual matching, Philips can refresh touchpoints faster, limit compliance risk, and maximize the impact of current and new assets.

Beyond simply streamlining the content lifecycle process, this innovative solution unlocks significant new marketing opportunities for Philips, including accelerating A/B testing through rapid visual similarity searches, supporting campaign managers with curated, up-to-date asset selections, and reducing the manual burden of asset governance across multiple channels.
