Helping businesses cut through the digital noise, grow their audience, and create genuine connections.

When Jacob launched JDB Communications, managing every client manually quickly became unsustainable.

He was juggling multiple roles — strategist, creator, copywriter, scheduler — all while managing clients across hospitality and automotive.
‍
After years in agency life, he knew two things: clients demand visibility, and social media never sleeps.
‍
To grow, Jacob needed a tool that could:

  • Handle multiple clients seamlessly
  • Simplify approvals for busy business owners
  • Automate posting without sacrificing control

The result of not having a unified platform? Lost hours, reactive posting, and limited time to focus on strategy and client growth.

How Sked Social transformed their operations

Sked Social became the operational backbone of JDB Communications — consolidating all scheduling, collaboration, and approvals into one intuitive workspace.

  • Strategic automation: By automating publishing and planning, Sked gave Jacob back valuable hours every week, allowing him to focus on strategy, new business, and family time.
  • Client confidence through approvals: The approval workflow became a key selling point for JDB’s clients. It offered them peace of mind and ensured that every post met brand expectations before going live.
  • Scalability without added cost: As JDB’s team expanded, Sked’s unlimited-user model allowed Jacob to onboard new staff without worrying about per-seat fees — a major advantage over tools like Monday.com.‍
