Influence

Influencers are everywhere nowadays. Just about any niche you can think of will have individuals worthy of promoting products and services. Well that sounds all good and dandy, but how the heck do you find them? With Influence, it’s easy.

Influence is a one-stop-shop for finding the right influencer for your needs. You can browse profiles to discover brands influencers have worked with, their posting rates, audience sizes, and much more. Give it a search and find the right influencer for your brand.

Quicc

Video is growing more and more popular as a means of advertising products and services on social. Just be sure not to skip out on captions for those who tend to watch videos without sound. Leave it to Quicc to automatically generate those captions.

Not only does this application generate caption files for your videos in a style that matches your brand, but it also creates a searchable library of your footage. This means instead of scrolling through hours of old footage, you can type what you recall from a video you’re looking for and locate it via automatically generated transcripts.

Mindly

Our brains are magnificent computing machines, but they aren’t perfect. Keeping organized often requires more than your own mind can handle. Check out Mindly for your on-the-go organizer.

For all those things you tend to forget, Mindly keeps them all together in one place you can access across all your devices. Organize all the different elements of a project, map out a new idea, or just plan your day.

Blog Ideas Generator

Supposedly the sweet spot for the number of blogs to write per month is 11+. That’s a lot of blogging! Between ideation, research, writing, editing, and publishing, blogging can very well be a full-time blog. Though we don’t know of anything that’ll automatically do all of those for you (yet), Blog Ideas Generator can help you quickly get past the ideation stage.

Just plug in a few keywords and topics you’re interested in writing about, and this tool from Hubspot will show you some blog titles that may just inspire the content for your next post. It’s super quick and free to use.

Convert Case

Words are effective conduits for channeling emotion. EVEN WRITTEN WORD CAN CONVEY NUANCES TYPICALLY EXHIBITED IN SPEECH. No, we weren’t “writing loud.” We just left caps lock on to illustrate the point. If you’ve left caps lock on too, then don’t despair. Convert Case will fix it so your readers don’t think you’re yelling at them.

Just copy the text you wrote after you accidentally hit caps lock, and paste it into the text field to achieve your desired format. Not only can you fix your text, but you can choose from a variety of cases as well. GIVE IT A WHIRL.

Rotato

It takes a lot to make an app look good. And once you’ve got it down, you can only do so much to convey the feel of an app to an audience that has yet to download it. Rotato shows off your app on a variety of devices so you can give your audience a better idea of what you’ve built.

Whether you need some slick images for the App Store or you’re putting together some new marketing materials, this 3D mockup tool will shine. Apply screen recordings to devices you can rotate on your computer to capture the look and feel from all angles. See for yourself!

Canva

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Yeah, that’s right. We just wanted to recognize the absolute POWERHOUSE they were when they combined into the Megazord. Sort of like the creative powerhouse you can become with Canva. (Again, sort of…)

We’re likely preaching to the choir here, but if you haven’t used Canva then check it out. For many, it’s a one-stop-shop for creating social media posts, logos, presentations, and even videos. Whether you’re looking for a quick and simple online solution to your design needs or just some inspiration to supplement your work in the Adobe ecosystem, Canva gives you the tools you need.

Bitly

Have you ever copied a link and pasted it only to see it’s the length of a CVS receipt? While oftentimes you’ve just copied your own UTM parameters, some links are actually just so dang long. Leave it to Bitly to deliver concise links.

Just run any link through Bitly and it will churn out a much smaller and friendlier link perfect for Twitter or anywhere you don’t want to overwhelm readers with excess characters. Plus, you’ll get location data as well as info on how many people clicked your link.

Adobe Spark

There’s no shortage of design tools to create beautiful graphics, captivating web pages, and stunning video content. However, that might mean three different subscriptions and a scattered creation process. Reign it all in with the power and ease of Adobe Spark.

This killer Adobe tool brings you a clean and collaborative way to edit and optimize posts for social media, build custom web pages with a collection of high-quality images (or use your own), and take advantage of an intuitive video editor to hammer out quick videos with cinematic motion. Use all these tools for yourself or with your team across desktop and mobile.
