One Place for Everything: Manage Tasks and Assets in Asana with CI HUB Connector

It's 2025. Yet teams still waste time chasing assets, manually updating tasks, and switching between tools to stay on track. Creative work happens in one place, task updates and file approvals somewhere else. That disconnect slows everything down: from design to delivery. 

CI HUB Connector for Asana closes that gap by linking your asset management process directly into the creative tools you're already using. Finally, you can stop chasing updates and start delivering faster, with every file, comment, and decision in one connected space.

Why Do Workflows Break Between Tasks and Assets? 


Even with the best tools, outstanding workflows can still fall apart at the handoff. Many teams rely on Work Management Systems like Asana to track progress, while creative assets live in scattered cloud folders and edits happen in isolated design apps. Without a shared, unified space, transparency slips, hours are lost, and productivity takes a hit.

  • Disconnected systems: Asana is monitoring tasks, but files are stored in Drive, Dropbox, or a DAM that is never in sync.
  • Manual update overload: Re-uploads, renaming, and manual updates are taking hours.
  • Approval disorganization: Clients see outdated assets or comment on the wrong thread.

How Does the CI HUB Connector Unify Your Tasks and Assets? 


When your tasks, assets, and feedback are in different tools, even simple projects become complicated. The Asana integrator brings task transparency and asset accessibility into one location, so you can update, collaborate, and deliver without tab-switching or losing momentum.

Watch how CI HUB Connector brings Asana right into your creative workspace.

Supported in the tools you already use:

  • Adobe Creative Cloud: Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects
  • Google Workspace: Docs, Slides, Sheets
  • Microsoft 365: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook
  • Figma, Sketch, WordPress, SharePoint: Content and design tools tied to project news

 Stop chasing versions. With real-time asset updates in Asana, the right file is always right in front of you. 

How Can Seamless Workflow Integration Speed Up Your Campaign Launch?


Launching a new product means navigating tight deadlines, adapting to shifting feedback, and keeping marketing and design in sync. Your team is designing Instagram creatives in Adobe Illustrator while tracking tasks and feedback in Asana. Meanwhile, assets are stored in cloud storage, and the constant back-and-forth leads to slowing momentum and delaying delivery.

Every team knows the pain of switching between tools just to get one task done. Workflow transformation software like the CI HUB Connector eliminates that pain by uniting your tasks, assets, and creative apps into a single panel.

Let's see how it is done with and without Asana DAM integration.

This is how an integrated asset management workflow should be: streamlined, connected, and aligned across teams.

How to Make the Most of Asana DAM Integrator


To get the most out of linking tasks and assets, structure your creative workflow automation with some helpful habits. These little adjustments improve your team's performance and keep things in check.

  • Standardize task names in Asana: Be descriptive and consistent when naming so that tasks are simple to find and link to from within creative tools.
  • Centralize assets on a linked DAM or cloud site: Keeping documents in locations such as Bynder, Dropbox, SharePoint, or Box ensures hassle-free access and version consistency.
  • Give feedback in the creative environment: Use the CI HUB panel to add comments to Asana tasks in your design application, maintaining context.
  • Use metadata for important assets: Add version information, owner, and status to files so they remain traceable and audit-ready throughout the project's life cycle.

Takeaway


When tools connect, so do teams, and that connection goes beyond convenience. It sets the foundation for faster decisions, fewer bottlenecks, and clearer ownership across every deliverable. Integrating Asana with your creative environment means working smarter with less friction between planning and production. Whether you're coordinating campaigns, managing feedback, or delivering assets at scale, bringing tasks and content into one workflow gives you the control and visibility modern projects demand.
