Streamline collaboration and reporting workflows - WAY Social
For Jess Nelson at WAY Social finding a platform that could handle everything from collating UGC to streamlining client approvals and offering in-depth reporting proved a challenge, until she discovered Sked.
Simplify collaboration with her team and with clients
Before using Sked, Jess’s team of seven was using too many tools which were adding stress and wasting time. Recognizing the need to simplify things for her team, Jess took on her team’s feedback and found a solution that would make it easier for everyone to have the right resources to work effectively.
“Once we really got into working with Sked, I could feel this sense of relief from everybody on my team because they felt like things were easier for them. They weren’t as stressed out, and attention to detail was stronger because they weren’t having to hop around to a bunch of places.” Improved internal collaboration hasn’t been the only benefit from using Sked.
The approvals workflow has enabled Jess and her team to give their clients a friction-free approvals process, giving her clients the confidence that they get to have their say before any content is published. . Jess continues to receive positive feedback from her clients on the experience.
With manual tasks taken off their plate, Jess’ team is spending less time navigating a demanding workload and unlocking more time to strategize new ways to help clients find success on social media.
Make reporting and analytics a breeze
With Sked’s advanced analytics and a two-year historical lookback period, Jess and her team were able to analyze trends and provide tailored strategies to each client for continued growth.
“We’re able to look at more insights… and more data that breaks things down further than any other platform we’ve used before. We’re able to provide a stronger strategy because of the information that Sked provides us.”
Streamline the use of user-generated-content (UGC)
WAY Social also needed a platform that could simplify the process of collating and repurposing user-generated content. With Sked, having to be physically located in the client’s community, or spend hours scrolling through their clients’ tagged posts became a thing of the past.

Unlock workflow efficiencies as a social media agency - The Social Story
To grow her agency, Tiff Ng from The Social Story was on the hunt for a scheduling platform that could guarantee posts go out on time, every time. She was also looking to improve the workflow and interconnectivity of her remote team, while also providing the latest functionality to keep her on top of all things social. And that’s exactly what she found with Sked Social.
Use a seamless all-in-one social media management solution
“Sked has provided everything we need to run our client’s social media channels, from the insights to the reporting to the inbox,” Tiff says.
Tiff highlighted two of her favorite features; the centralized dashboard that makes analytics a breeze, and the post scheduler for multi-platform posting.
The dashboard visually relays reporting data in an easy-to-digest format. This allows The Social Story to share analytics directly with their client via a link, or collate it in a client-facing presentation.
The post scheduler tool streamlines workflow by enabling multi-platform posting with customized captions, aligning with Tiff’s “strategies of segmenting audiences and tailoring copy for different platforms.”
Take the friction out of client approvals
To make it easier for the team to work together on producing quality content, and reduce the friction around client content approvals, Tiff put Sked’s Teamwork and Approvals feature into good use.
Teamwork helped to keep the whole team on the same page and in the loop on content changes. While Sked’s friction-free approvals makes it simple and convenient for clients to review content, request changes or approve posts in just a few clicks.
With Sked streamlining The Social Story’s client approval workflows, the team now has added capacity and more time to review and refine their client’s social media strategies.
Streamline community engagement and social media inbox management
Tiff also credits Sked’s Inbox with streamlining her team’s community management processes. With a centralized inbox for managing cross-platform conversations, The Social Story has been able to eliminate the pain of handling responses manually from multiple phones, whilst keeping the conversation alive and building engaged communities for clients on social media.
