Embed high-quality assets across the web, email, CMS, e-comm, and more directly from where they're managed within Brandfolder so they're always up-to-date and easy to change, without additional development time.

I really loved the concept of only having to update an asset in one place and having that update pushed everywhere on our site.

Stage

Create a new asset in Brandfolder as a placeholder for the final asset. Permission settings mean you can be sure only the development and creative team have access.

Develop

Code your email or web page using links tied directly to the asset or its attachments. Previews will render with proper image and video sizing so you can get the layout just right.

Update

Once ready, images, documents, and videos breathe life into your project without any additional coding effort. Need to make a change later on? It's as easy as uploading the new creative to replace the existing asset in Brandfolder.
