Teams that prioritize Instagram marketing choose Sked instead of Hootsuite’s platform focused on text-based channels such as Twitter and LinkedIn.
Cross-post everything, everywhere. Repurpose Instagram posts in a couple of clicks, or create original content for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok and more.
”Sked makes it easier to post to multiple social platforms and tailor the media and copy for each accordingly. The visual planner is a great tool for strategy and overall look/feel.”
”I can now schedule weeks of posts in advance, my clients can view the schedule and approve/make changes as required. I'm no longer chained to the screen posting like crazy.”
Hootsuite wasn’t built with Instagram in mind and it shows. You’ll waste hours publishing Instagram posts manually, it’s difficult to plan your feed’s aesthetic, and it’s not designed to help teams collaborate on visual strategy and content.
It would be much better if posting to stories was possible, without setting reminders and having to doit manually.”

”Hootsuite is a very text-based software. I don’t like that I can't see what my Instagram will look like. It leaves too much space for error.”
