Loomly is a brand success and social media management platform designed for marketing teams that need a collaborative content calendar, structured approval workflows, and multi-channel publishing in a clean, intuitive interface. It is the go-to choice for in-house marketing teams and agencies that want to replace ad-hoc social planning with a structured, repeatable content operations workflow.
Product Overview
Loomly's core workflow is built around the content calendar: every post starts as a draft in the calendar, passes through configurable approval stages (requiring sign-off from editors, brand managers, or clients before publishing), and is then scheduled for automatic publishing to every connected social platform. Its Post Ideas engine surfaces trending topics, RSS feed content, and calendar events that can be turned into posts — helping teams maintain a consistent publishing cadence without writer's block. Loomly's Brand Library stores all approved assets — images, videos, brand colors, hashtag groups, and copy snippets — in a centralised location that all team members can access while drafting posts, ensuring brand consistency without enforced manual review of every piece of content. The Interactions manager aggregates comments, DMs, and mentions from all connected platforms into a single inbox, allowing community managers to respond without logging into each platform separately.
