Design studio

The design studio is where global creative assets are stored in Marketo Engage. This includes global emails, landing pages, and forms, as well as templates, images, and files.

You can add almost any type of file to the design studio. A good practice is to upload all your approved assets to the design studio, which allows those assets to be used everywhere inside Marketo Engage and don’t require additional approval. Additionally, the assets have local links from the Marketo Engage library to your landing pages and emails, reducing the loading time for a better user experience.

There is no limit to the number of files you can add to the Design Studio. The size of each file is limited to 100MB, which is generally large enough for anything other than video files.

Note: The design studio is not a streaming server and should not be used to host videos.

Adding images and files

There are two ways to add images and files to the design studio – uploading from your computer or importing them from the internet.

Upload image or file

Note: All files must have unique filenames. If a filename already exists, the asset will not be updated unless the Overwrite existing files checkbox is checked. Be careful, because overwriting a file updates the file wherever it is currently used in Marketo Engage.

Note: Some websites may not allow Marketo Engage to import images.

Do not use spaces in design studio asset filenames. This can break the tracking used for triggers in smart campaigns.

Organize the design studio

Take the time to create a set of folders in the navigation tree in design studio before importing assets. This will help you more quickly find the images and files you need for a program. In this example, the files are divided into Content and Images, and then further divided by content type or image use.

Any folders you create in the design studio appear in the Search In menu of the Insert or Swap Image dialog box. This allows you to search by folder when adding images to emails and landing pages.
