Words from our customers

By making the switch to SND, each staff person now has their own login and administrators can determine how much access is required based on need. By being able to lock in a multi-year contract, we've been able to shield taxpayers from absorbent inflationary costs.

Chris ShadrockCity of Boerne, Texas

For me it’s saved a ton of time with scheduling posts. After a post had been created, it probably took at least 15 minutes to try to get it posted on all the different accounts. But now, it takes maybe two and a half minutes!

Megan FreemanMarketing & Communications Specialist, City of Ballwin, MO

What stands out at SND is you listen to our feedback. I could post from so many other social management platforms, but SND stands out the most. Also, your analytics are very easy to use and social media-based. SND breaks it all down for me, all in one place!

Bridget SaxtonCommunications Manager, City of Melissa, Texas

Social News Desk was a huge help during our hurricane coverage. It was so easy to share access with our other stations so they could help out.

Brian DoyleHearst Television

It’s really a time saver. I really can’t say enough about Social News Desk. For the amount of time I’ve been in this industry, I have looked into so many different platforms and they just can’t compete.

Andrea SmileyGenesee Intermediate School District

I enjoy using SND, and if I ever transition from journalism to marketing, I would invest in SND as my scheduling tool.

I want to thank SND for having Newsin.bio for Instagram - it has just been great! And we love how we can now post multiple photos to multiple platforms.
