A Content Marketer's Best Friend
What do you like best?
seamless collaboration between teams allows for a stronger deliverable to our end users. Our team loves the template options and the ease at which we can add comments, adjust deadlines, and build a stronger content strategy.
We've also found that Contently allows us to better understand user experience and what draws users and keeps them within the platform.
Lastly, we love the collaboration with our content strategist and managing editor. They don't feel like consultants; rather, they feel like extensions of the team.
What do you dislike?
the text editor could use some optimization, but that's really the only downside to the platform. Only heavy HTML users would even notice. The platform itself recently went up in price rather significantly but we understand that this is due to the competitive market.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It might seem unecessary to use a managing editor, but they save our team so much time by cleaning up copy before it reaches our hands. Try to give Contently as much detail into your business as possible during onboarding, and do your best to set up the content pillars at the onset so you can leverage content plan to its full potential.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Our biggest challenge has always been volume of revisions via word documents. Contently allows us to push all reviews through the platform to keep transparency of edits visible to all stakeholders.
For another client, we're using Contently to build an entire website from scratch. It's helping us to stay organized and on-pace to launch our website by end of the year.
