Now that you have selected the kind of content you want to add, it is time to build and add to your library within your GlassHive vendor account.

Adding content here allows your partners to access everything you choose to share from your library. This means they can execute campaigns right from their instance while dynamically having all assets auto-branded into each partner’s logo and colors. You can also make edits to the master content in your library, which then auto-updates across all your partners, and If you so choose, partners can also edit content within their instance to fit their specific needs. Last but not least, all data rolls up to your reporting (more on this later).

You can also upload and share royalty-free assets and video content that can be used by partners to enhance their existing and new campaigns.

GlassHive can help you choose and add your content as needed with our white-glove service. If you receive white-glove service, you can provide your GlassHive Account Manager assets and content. They will take time to sift through the provided content and build a marketing plan outlining what assets/ content we'll use in their intended timeline usage. Once approved, GlassHive will take the approved content and build it within your vendor account.

If you have decided to do this yourself, rest assured your Account Manager is still here to provide training and resources as needed to get you going on your own.

Here is how to add and build content within your account:
