This feature is very useful for marketing teams where many members are collaborating on the same campaigns.

In a blog post, Google states:

“With Asset Library, photos and videos are available to users across your Google Ads account in a visual-first experience. You and your colleagues can view, import, and organize creative assets from past and current campaigns. This makes sharing, collaboration, and consistency easy.”

A centrally located asset library eliminates the need to load assets more than once. You get access to the same photos and videos across all campaigns.
