The Astro Marketing Suite's Brand Media Library is Bursting with New Sharable Images

Your favorite Brands have been working hard sprucing up their Astro Program Images and adding new Social Media and Shelf Talker images to your Brand Media Library within the Astro Marketing Suite. 

Our end goal is to make sure that all Astro Program Images are of a high enough resolution to look awesome if shared via Astro Social and that each image shared can stand on its own to describe the program it represents. 

To our Astro Brand Partners who would like some more info on how to best spice up their image assets join us at 3:00 PM EST Wednesday, September 8th for our Marketing Deep Dive Webinar of the week - Register Here. Instructions, real-life image examples and Astro Logos can be found in our Astro Logo Media Kit.
