Manage all of social in one place

Then she adds her collaborators and adjusts their user roles and permissions. Since HeyOrca comes with unlimited users, she doesn't have to worry about paying extra for every user she adds.

Create content faster
To save time on cross-posting, Daria's team uses HeyOrca to copy posts across their social accounts.
She says, "The 'duplicate' feature became our best friend; we were able to send a single post to approval to the clients, and once they approved in the platform, we had the green light to simply duplicate the post onto all the remaining channels."

Approval and automation
When Daria's posts are ready for approval, she sends her stakeholders a shareable link. Her clients can approve, reject, or leave feedback on posts – all without logging in!
Psst! HeyOrca's built-in approval system is easy even for less tech-savvy clients. Of a recent campaign, Daria says, "The stakeholders on the client side weren't used to working with fast-paced social approvals, but they breezed through the approvals process thanks to HeyOrca."

5 tools Daria's social media agency loves
Here are the must-have social media management tools for building engaged communities
Client-specific calendars
Take it from Daria: "The ability to separate calendars with different levels of visibility is great for our internal teams to be aware of what we're posting while keeping internal comments invisible to the clients, all without disrupting our workflow."
Colour-coded events
It's important that Daria's team plans their posts around relevant events, holidays, and trends. HeyOrca makes it easy to visually mark special events and campaigns right on the content calendar. Daria can even auto-add regional holidays.
Simple cross-posting tools
HeyOrca makes it easy to keep social content consistent across multiple accounts. Daria's team uses the "copy post" tool to duplicate posts across their content calendar. They can also use HeyOrca to create posts in bulk.
Easy content approvals
HeyOrca's built-in approval system helps Daria and her team eliminate back-and-forth email chains and Slack messages. Once her clients approve posts, HeyOrca automatically publishes them at the scheduled time.
Robust social media reports
Daria says, "The HeyOrca reporting suite is perfect for our social media content team to view day-to-day, allowing us to see what content is performing best, which in turn guides our content strategy for upcoming posts."
