Helium has revolutionised the way regular, repetitive, templated, pre-press production work (like catalogues, flyers, press ads) should be produced.

Helium




Helium Media Bank is an electronic library so vast, fast and efficient it has literally revolutionised asset storage and retrieval while dramatically slashing turnaround time for job creation and production.

Purpose-built by Digital Arena to provide creative organisations with a centralised source of indexed files for quick search and download, Helium Media Bank eliminates valuable time being wasted looking for the right files. And because all your digital assets are stored, indexed and managed in one place, the scope for misplacement and loss or confusing file versions is eliminated.

Working alongside Helium Media Bank, Digital Arena’s ground-breaking Helium Automater not only eliminates the time-consuming repetitive work (and endless scope for error) involved in the creation of complex Mailers, Catalogues and Press ads, it also greatly shortens traditional production cycles.
