Managing Libraries - Overview

An Asset Suite is a collection of similar assets, often these are grouped together by asset type e.g. Email, or by tactic type e.g. Webinar. Though these assets can be grouped by any method that makes sense to your marketing needs.

A suite can be mapped against a specific channel type or a tactic type. An example of this may be that specific webinar assets, such as a landing page, email and form for a webinar invitation, should only be chosen when a marketer chooses Webinar tactic type. Or for more general marketing requests, a generic group of emails may be applicable for all tactic types or all channel types. This is easily configurable in the Asset Suite settings.

A marketer can then choose one or more assets within an asset suite, depending on the type of brief the marketer chooses.

The image below shows the steps needed to create a new Asset Suite to house your assets.
