Assets are files that are associated with a brand. Examples of assets are spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, PDFs, images, videos, documents, etc. You can add any type of file that you would like.
Steps in the article are:
There are a variety of ways that assets can be added to BrandKeep:
As a file from your computer
From a link that a brand has provided to you
Using a cloud service such as Dropbox or Google Drive
Sending the asset using KeepMail (see this article)
Receiving an asset via a B2B API (see this article)
Assets can be added to a brand card, which assigns that asset to that brand. They can also be added on the Assets dashboard, which DOES NOT assign the asset to a brand.
Assets work best when associated with a brand. If an asset is added from the Assets dashboard you can still easily edit and assign it to a brand - more on that below. Please note that an asset can only be associated with one brand.
Assets added by sending an email using your KeepMail, or receiving an asset via a B2b API, work a bit different than the other methods described here. To learn more about how KeepMail works, please visit this article. To learn more about a B2B API, please visit this article.
Please note: When attempting to view files within Brandkeep, some files are unsupported, such as video (.mov, .mp4) and photoshop (.psd) files.
Adding assets to a brand card
When assets are added to a brand card they are automatically associated with that brand. To add assets to a brand card, first navigate to the Brands dashboard and click on the brand you would like to add an asset to.
On the brand card, click the Brand Assets tab and then click on the + Asset button.
Choose which method to add your asset; using either a link, a file from your computer or tablet, or importing from Dropbox or Google Drive.
Adding assets using a link
Adding an asset link doesn’t bring the asset into BrandKeep. This is generally used as a hyperlink to a brand’s cloud service which then allows you to download the asset from that destination.
When adding an asset using a link, you are presented with a window that allows you to add many links as assets. Provide a detailed name of the link, the URL, and an asset category if desired. Then click Create.
