Lately Blog Platform

Time to get out your fancy hats and blow that bugle loud enough to make Bob Costas blush. Happy almost-Derby Weekend. Here’s what’s new at Lately this week:

1. Keep Your Marketing Copy Consistent
Automatically organize all your essential messaging, a.k.a. “key” messaging, in one place – so it’s easy to copy and paste the messaging that gets reused the most… like your tagline, elevator pitch, team bios and more.

2. Add Hashtags In Bulk When Generating Posts
Automatically add one or more hashtags to every post you generate for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram – in one click. #TimeSaver.

3. Scan Your Competition
Instantly scan competitors to see which keywords customers type into search engines to find them and how they match up, consistency-wise. We’ll automatically keep a list for you, so you can check back, anytime.

Bet on the long shot!

You tell us what you want. We make it so. No hand-eye coordination, squat-thrusts or sweaty pinnies required. Here’s what’s new at Lately this week:

1. Get Approval Notices In Your Inbox

Now get approval, disapproval and comment notices via email, so you can collaborate more easily with bosses or clients – and make changes on the fly.

2. Automatically File and Organize Social Post Images

Find all of the images and photos you’ve attached to social posts now, automatically saved and organized in the “Files” section of your dashboard – easy to reuse and handy to reference for tracking and reporting.

3. Get More of What’s New Anytime

Access the complete list of all things new at Lately, in case you missed any, via our blog.

 

Win-win-win.

Our castle is your castle. Except you wear the crown… And call the shots. Long live You! Here’s what’s new at Lately this week:

1. Connect Your Bitly Account

Connect your Bitly account to integrate your Bitly shortlinks and analytics with all of your content. You can also import previously created shortlinks or shortlinks created outside of Lately, so that they’re all housed in one place, easier to track and easier to reuse.

2. Transfer Dashboard Ownership

Instantly transfer the ownership of your dashboard to another Lately user in one click. That way, if you suddenly move to Camelot, it’s easy for another team member to take over – or hand the scepter off to a client at the end of a contract.

3. See Instagram Posts in Your Marketing Calendar

Now also automatically see your Instagram posts and photos in the “Daily” view of your marketing calendar – alongside your other social content, tasks, goals, advertising, workshops or events.

We hear ye, we hear ye!

Our spreadsheet-hating elves are ready to wrangle the wildest wishes in Tarnation – they just need to be, ehem, spurred. Here’s what’s new at Lately this week:

1. Identify Top Twitter Promoters

Instantly identify the social media engagement and reach of any Twitter account – and see whether or not they follow you. Plus, know who’s most likely to promote your messages through our scoring system, which automatically ranks Twitter accounts by how large their following is and how often they share your content.

  

2. Preview Social Posts Before Publishing

Have a gander at how your Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn posts will look before you actually publish them, so you can make sure your photos render correctly and get a better feel for how your customers view you.

3. Access Most Recent Dashboards Faster

Create separate dashboards for different businesses, brands or clients and access them all from a single login. Plus, pick up where you left off even faster, with a dashboard list that’s now sorted by whichever one you most recently used.

Hold onto your britches.

Don’t be shy. Boss us around all you like. Because when you tell us what you want, it’s so boss. Here’s what’s new at Lately this week:

1. Drag and Drop Calendar Entries

Drag and drop future calendar entries to easily reschedule content across any of your connected channels – or to change the dates of any other entry, across any channel.

2. Add Multiple Accounts from the Same Social Channel

Add and connect multiple Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest or Google+ accounts, so you can manage unlimited profiles for unlimited people or companies, from one place.

3. Export Social Posts

Easily export draft versions of your social posts to a CSV file for that, ehem, boss that refuses to leave spreadsheets in the dust. It’s okay, we won’t judge.

Stay bossy, Pony Boy.

Big wishes or small, wave your heart’s content by letting us know exactly what you want and our spreadsheet-hating elves will magic it. Here’s what’s new at Lately this week:

1. Create and Schedule for Instagram

Create and schedule content for your Instagram account alongside your other channels, so that all your marketing is in-sync and in one place.

2. View All of Your Campaign Materials In One Place

See all of the content, tasks, key messaging, calendar entries and key contacts associated with any campaign in a single view, so it’s easy to show your boss or client the whole picture – and to rinse and repeat.

3. Transfer Ownership and Set Approve-Only View

Transfer full dashboard ownership controls to any team member and set approve-only viewing for your clients or bosses, so they’re not mired down by the nitty gritty.

Swish and flick.
