A marketing asset is any type of content that you create that communicates with your ideal customers.
A marketing asset is also commonly referred to as a "creative", "creative asset", or "brand asset." Ideally, you will create a comprehensive portfolio of creative assets that help your target audience move through your sales funnels on their buyers' journey.
Your overall strategy needs to include a plan for marketing asset creation based on your business goals and budget.
Once you know your strategy, you (or your VA) should create an editorial calendar so you know exactly what and when your marketing assets will be created and published, as well as the distribution method and channel. This enables your team to effectively coordinate your sales program, lead generation and grow incrementally. An editorial calendar should also be used as a marketing asset tracking system that maintains your inventory as well as provides invaluable information about what has worked - and what hasn't.
Here are few things to consider when it comes to digital marketing assets.

- Your assets should be consistent throughout all of your marketing materials.
