Tips for good descriptions:
Keep it brief (1-3 sentences)
Explain what content is available
Mention who it's for if not obvious
Avoid long instructions, those are best suited for a note inside the Portal
Example: "Brand assets and guidelines for our agency partners. Find logos, templates, and usage guidelines for all campaigns."

Ensure text remains readable over the image
Consider using branded graphics
