Take your social media content marketing strategy to the next level with the PhotoShelter and Hootsuite API integration. Learn how it works.

The PhotoShelter for Brands and Hootsuite integration gives brands the instant ability to share their brand’s most impactful content—to seize the power of a moment.

Social media pros are always-on creators—storytellers who move at a relentless pace to engage followers with the right content at the right moment.

Too often, social media managers are slowed down by the menial task of searching for photos.

Not anymore!

With the PhotoShelter and Hootsuite platform integration, you can now browse, search, and access all of your brand assets from your PhotoShelter library without ever leaving Hootsuite. The typical three-step process of downloading, uploading, and posting is now one seamless platform workflow—you can search your PhotoShelter for Brands DAM library, select content, and post it entirely from the Hootsuite platform.

This integration allows brands to:

  • Seamlessly browse and search their PhotoShelter for Brands digital asset management library without leaving Hootsuite.
  • Resize and edit images for social automatically.
  • Publish photos easily and instantly.

“We know that delivering timely and relevant social media content in the moment is a top priority for creative teams, and this integration will help our clients publish their brands’ best imagery in seconds.”
