We know social media planning and management can be overwhelming. We have gathered the 10 apps and websites that we use or recommend to our clients. These apps will enable you to create branded content and will keep you organized across multiple social media platforms.
We recently switched to Planoly. It is perfect for scheduling your Instagram and Facebook posts and stories. You can organize and house your hashtags in the app. This app also gives good analytical insights so you know when to post. There is a free and paid option.
Tailwind is great for scheduling Pinterest content especially because the best practice is to pin multiple pins per day!
We use Hootsuite to schedule our LinkedIn content. We don’t use it for any other platforms.

This app helps you easily crop photos, create a grid of images, add text to photos, and create Instagram Story graphics. There is a free and paid version of this app.
Lightroom is a computer program but it also has an app. You can purpose Lightroom presets so that you can easily and quickly edit your phone photos.
