The CI HUB Brand Connector makes it easy to find and use your brand's photos, logos, and other files right inside the creative apps you already use. No more digging through folders, everything you need is just a few clicks away, and it always matches your brand's style.
The connector is simple on purpose. You only see the tools you actually need, so you can focus on your work instead of learning a complicated system.
Getting Started: Installation and Login
Before you begin, install the CI HUB Brand Connector for the creative application you're using. Since installation steps differ from application to application, check the Installation Guide for instructions tailored to yours.
After installing the CI HUB Brand Connector, simply open it to get started.
When you launch the connector, a new tab will appear, giving you the option to either log in or register:
-
New Users: Click Register to be redirected to the CI HUB registration page. Follow the instructions to create your account.
-
Existing Users: Click Login to be redirected to the CI HUB login page. Enter your credentials to sign in.
Once logged in, you can browse all available connections within the connector and add the ones you need.
Adding and Managing Connections
The CI HUB Brand Connector lets you link your favorite DAM, PIM, MAM or cloud storage system so you can browse and use your files without ever leaving your workspace.
Here's how:
- Open the tab. After logging in, you'll see all the connections you can choose from.
- Search or browse. Type in what you're looking for, or scroll through the list.
- Narrow it down. Use the filters to sort by type, like file storage systems or stock photo services.
- Add a connection. Found the one you want? Click Add next to it and log in with your details when asked.
- Don't see what you need? Click Request to ask for a new connection to be added, and fill in a short form.
- Stay in control. You can add, edit, or remove connections anytime. When you're happy with your setup, click Complete Setup.
Once that's done, all your files are ready to use right inside your design app.

Click the settings icon to update your account, check plugin details, or change how things look.

Notification Tab
The Notification tab keeps you in the loop. If something goes wrong, like a connection hiccup or a missing file, you'll see it here, along with an easy way to report it to support.
Once you know how to log in, connect your DAM, PIM, or cloud storage system, and adjust your settings, you're all set to enjoy a smooth, organized creative workflow from day one.
