6 Productivity Apps for Social Media Marketers
A marketing consultant once said: “Social media marketer without apps is like a mechanic without tools, a lumberjack without an axe, a captain without a ship, or a freelance writer without a caffeine addiction”.
Mobile apps and tools can make it so a marketer’s entire day is filled with opportunities to connect, engage, and share with their audience, team, and relevant stakeholders. You can get more done while commuting, lounging, waiting, and any time when you’re not tethered to a desktop or laptop. For this reason, mobile apps are seen as vital tools to enhance productivity and maximise digital marketing and social media goals.
So which apps are best for social media marketers?
On top of the official apps of the major social media channels – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest – and the fringe or new channels, such as Snapchat, TikTok, Vine, Tumblr, etc. we’ve rounded up our six favourites that we’ve used, tested, and loved. They’re free to download and available to you within a tap, swipe, or touch.
1. Hootsuite
Hootsuite is our favourite dashboard app. It is a social media management platform that empowers you to make, plan, and distribute messages to your social media networks from one single dashboard. One of its features, the Composer, assists with the “create” portion of this equation. With Composer, you can not just compose a subtitle and connect a picture to your post as you typically would locally, yet you can alter, include logos, and resize pictures to the accurate extents you need. Composer even gives prebuilt picture specs to each social network.

2. Canva
It is an instinctive design application for graphics creation and photo editing. Social media moves quickly, which implies that you may not generally have a visual planner or graphic designer available to you. Canva, a cloud-based design apparatus with web and portable renditions, fills that void. Indeed, even clients with minimal graphic design experience can utilize Canva layouts to make anything from infographics to logos with the easy-to-use interface.
