For digital agencies, creative teams, and designers, maintaining consistent branding across countless digital ads—across dozens of networks and screen sizes—is one of the biggest operational headaches and, when done right, one of the biggest competitive advantages. At SizeIM, we’re deep in the trenches with creative professionals every day, and we’ve seen how automated brand kit management can transform chaotic workflows into smooth, scalable operation. Let’s go deep into how to actually automate your brand kit management across all your digital ad campaigns—the right way.
What Is Brand Kit Management—and Why Does Automation Matter?
Your brand kit is the DNA of your brand’s visual identity. It’s your logos (main, simplified, monochrome), official color palette, approved typefaces, and design elements — all coupled with clear guidelines on usage. But even with a well-crafted brand kit, the real struggle is keeping every asset current and consistent as your team scales up output for dozens of sizes, networks, and campaign refreshes.
- Manually updating assets leads to errors (wrong logo, wrong colors, dated versions—even with the sharpest creative team).
- Lost hours in recreating assets for each ad size and platform eats away at campaign ROI.
- Inconsistent application breaks trust with clients and audiences—especially in multi-brand scenarios.
This is where automated brand kit management steps in. It effortlessly keeps every element updated, unified, and instantly ready for distribution across the digital ad ecosystem.
How to Automate Brand Kit Management: Our Proven Workflow
-
Centralize Your Assets and Brand Kits
Start by consolidating all brand assets (logos, color codes, fonts) into a single, cloud-based environment. On SizeIM, you can create multiple brand kits (based on your subscription plan: up to 20 brand kits for enterprise users), each with its own assets and brand rules. Forget scattered folders or email attachments—everyone works from the same approved source, eliminating version control drama.
-
Set Permissions and Assign Roles
One slip (accidentally publishing the wrong logo, for example) can break the spell of professionalism. That’s why permissions matter. Assign roles so only designated users can edit, update, or approve brand assets or ad designs. This is vital for agencies dealing with multiple clients or larger teams—protect your brand’s DNA.
-
Design Once, Automatically Resize Everywhere
This is core to how SizeIM works: you design your ad once—then automatically adapt that ad across all major display ad sizes, platforms, and resolutions with a responsive framework. Our platform intelligently flows your brand kit elements (logo, colors, fonts) into each format, keeping everything on-brand and pixel-perfect.
- No more reflowing layouts for each banner, square, leaderboard, or mobile format—automation does the heavy lifting.
- All assets draw directly from your brand kit, updating everywhere when changes are made.
-
Instant Updates Across Campaigns
Here’s where automation shows its true power. Suppose your client updates their logo or swaps their brand color for a seasonal campaign. Simply update your brand kit once, and SizeIM will dynamically push the change across all active and future ad variations. No more painstaking manual updates for each network, each size, and each campaign—one update, everywhere, instantly.
-
Streamlined Workflow & Rapid Collaboration
With centralized kits and asset libraries, your whole team—designers, account managers, and clients—can collaborate in real time. Everyone sees the latest approved assets and can give feedback or sign off right inside the platform. This cuts down on email chains, prevents redundant work, and ensures campaigns move forward at lightning speed, not slow down in bottlenecks.
Practical Example: Automated Brand Kit Management in Action
Suppose you’re running campaigns for five different brands, each on five advertising networks, each with a dozen ad sizes. With manual workflows, that’s potentially hundreds of separate files to update anytime your client wants a tweak. But with automation, you:
- Create a dedicated brand kit for each brand—uploaded once, universally accessible.
- Design one master template per campaign and let responsive automation carry your assets into every required resolution and network spec.
- Update logos, slogans, or CTAs in seconds (not hours) across all platforms just by editing the brand kit.
- Assign approval roles so only authorized users can push changes live, ensuring quality control and consistency.

Best Practices for Agencies and Creative Teams

- Document everything. Include guidance on logo clear space, font usage, color alternatives, and do/don’t instructions—so every team or freelancer is on the same page.
- Embrace templates and modular design systems. The more you can systematize asset usage, the faster you can scale output without sacrificing brand integrity.
- Run onboarding sessions for new clients/team members ensuring everyone understands how kits work and where to find the latest assets.
