How It Works
Write it. Approve it. Ship it.
Communications staff shouldn’t fight a clunky CMS to get a story out. Draft in a clean editor, route for approval, schedule the embargo lift, and it publishes everywhere at once, on-brand.
01
Draft in a clean editor
A distraction-free writing experience with on-brand templates. Add photos, pull quotes, and documents without touching code or layout.
02
Approve & embargo
Route drafts to a reviewer, leave inline comments, and lock an embargo time. Nothing goes public until the right person signs off.
03
Publish everywhere
One publish pushes the story to the website, the resident newsletter, and your social channels. Formatted correctly for each.
Every Kind of Update
The stories a city needs to tell. Done well.
