Its market-leading portfolio spans more than a dozen different special interest categories, including technology, games, women’s lifestyle, news, sports, and home interest, reaching one in three people across the UK and US through its websites and over 197 million followers through dedicated brand social platforms.

Key Takeaways:

Future was spending too much time and energy managing a vast social media presence. As Future grew steadily through acquisition, the team became spread thin across several social publishing tools and increasingly unable to manage Future’s hundreds of social accounts in a streamlined, unified manner.

Future sought a solution that would enable their team to work smarter and regain full control over their social strategy and execution. Any solution needed to be suitable for very niche sites with small teams, as well as world-famous lifestyle brands with extensive resourcing.

They found instant value and cost-saving potential in Piano Amplifier's automation and ability to help their team ramp up on one unified platform. By utilizing Piano Amplifier’s optimization function to automatically decide when to publish on social media, Future was able significantly reduce the amount of manual work and save the team massive amounts of time.

Future saw the following results from partnering with Piano Amplifier:

• 20% YoY growth across several key brands

• 3M clicks as a result of automating previously dormant account
