Collaboration is crucial to projects\u2019 success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately, old-school apps and systems don\u2019t lend themselves to collaboration. Have you ever worked on a digital marketing team where everyone juggled multiple file versions, got hung up in the review process, or ran out of space on their hard drive? I have.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s why I recommend these tools that will streamline your workflow and cut out the need to check a bunch of different apps or spend way too much time organizing email. Even better, most of these apps are web-based, helping you keep everything safe in the cloud.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A feature-rich learning management system designed to simplify employee training and development. While it doesn\u2019t offer complex task dependencies, it provides a flexible and user-friendly interface for creating and tracking training programs. GoSkills allows you to create custom learning paths and track learner progress, making it ideal for businesses managing multiple training initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GoSkills also offers a detailed progress tracking feature, helping you assess learner performance and ensure development goals are being met.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The power of the Adobe Creative Suite has been transferred to the cloud and given a unified approach that enables collaboration. The apps, which include Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, now integrate with each other and allow easy sharing and commenting among team members.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can gather your colors, fonts, and assets in \u201cLibraries\u201d that your entire team can access, and you can also track versions of files.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Airtable markets itself to digital marketing teams, and once you discover how flexible and powerful it is, you\u2019ll want to use it to organize everything in your life. The concept is \u201cspreadsheets on steroids\u201d \u2014 Airtable offers a classic grid view, but instead of having data in rows, allows you to expand each \u201crecord\u201d into an interactive document with customizable fields.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For digital marketing teams, this functionality is great because team members can attach images, PDFs, and even videos to records, then sort and filter them by customizable criteria. It\u2019s a great way to build a content calendar, organise assets, or track project status.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Asana is a project management app that many digital marketing teams will find appealing, not only for its attractive design but also for its robust task management and customizable project views.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike a lot of classic project management systems, Asana offers \u201cConversations\u201d that enable teams to quickly chat about tasks, files, and plans.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most digital marketing teams have a lot of content that they need to track, and you just can\u2019t do that easily if the documents are scattered across hard drives or email accounts. Enter Bit, which allows you to gather your assets in one place and track engagement with them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even better, Bit allows team members and clients to work together on documents in real time. Your team has access to \u201cWorkspaces\u201d that will notify them when documents are created or changed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For digital marketing teams, the ability to get answers and share files quickly is crucial to getting projects done, especially under tight deadlines. Brief allows team members to do just this.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brief features the ability to turn any message into a task and provides a central place for chat, to-dos, and file sharing. For digital marketing teams, Brief can facilitate file review, collaborative copyediting, and video conferencing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like Slack, Chanty is a messaging service with a dash of AI. If your team is on the talkative side, Chanty can save you time through predictive texting. Because it allows you to share and comment on files, it\u2019s a great collaboration tool as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chanty keeps tasks and conversation threads in the same place so that you don\u2019t have to bounce between apps, but its real power for digital marketing teams is that it allows you to view rich media and code blocks right there in the app, which is great for reviewing content<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dropbox is a well-known file storage solution, but its secret superpower is that it\u2019s also a collaboration tool. Team members can comment on documents and request changes, and now Dropbox has a service called Paper that allows for cloud-based document creation and collaboration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, Dropbox is also great for digital marketing teams because it can store all the large images and videos that you need and makes them easy to access across your devices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the name fool you: Evernote can do much, much more than take notes. It allows you to share notes, in which you can embed images and PDFs. This makes Evernote great for digital marketing teams who need to bring different types of content together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Evernote offers \u201cWork Chat\u201d to let you quickly discuss notes with your team, and you can always share notes outside your team. Evernote syncs quickly across multiple devices to facilitate easy collaboration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Facebook is used by digital marketing teams around the world, for obvious reasons. But did you know that it offers an intranet-like portal to help your team get organized? If you\u2019ve ever been in a Facebook group, you know that you can share files or links and comment on them, as well as create polls and events. Facebook Workplace is like that, but a bit more robust.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For example, you can suborganize your teams, create company-wide updates, and use bots to automate the process. Facebook Workplace is great for digital marketing teams because it integrates with Facebook pages and regular groups that you\u2019re likely already using.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For digital marketing teams who do a lot of copywriting, Google Docs is a great solution. It provides fast, cloud-based document creation and storage, but its real superpower is that, unlike in many other apps, team members can work on a file simultaneously.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Google Docs is just one part of the \u201cG Suite,\u201d which helps teams collaborate in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like other cloud-based file storage solutions, Google Drive syncs quickly and allows team members to share files with clients or guests. It displays \u201caction items\u201d such as comments or suggestions in the main file view so that you can see at a glance which items need attention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Google Drive includes quick links to Calendar, Tasks, and Keep (notes), so it can be a quick, flexible project management system for digital marketing teams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Google Keep is a notes app that allows you to label, pin, and share notes, as well as add reminders and export to Google Docs. Keep can be a great way for digital marketing teams to discuss their Google Docs outside the confines of the comment section.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For example, users can add drawings and images to notes, which are easily accessible in the sidebar of Google Docs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GoToMeeting is a video conferencing and screen sharing program that enables collaboration even among people working remotely, which is common for many digital marketing teams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GoToMeeting also allows you to record meetings and store the recordings in the cloud. And to make instant collaboration better, you can share your screen and \u201cdraw\u201d on your files, which is great for discussing designs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Digital marketing teams typically have a lot of high-resolution images, large PDFs, or even videos being shared among them. But emailing the files (if they\u2019ll even send) can lead to confusion: \u201cWhich version is this?\u201d \u201cWhere is that file?\u201d Enter Hightail, which can share and store large files and allow team members to preview and comment on them in the browser.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hightail is fast and has some useful features for short-term storage and secure sharing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n InVision is a design tool, but don\u2019t worry, your entire team will end up using it. It allows your designers to create interactive prototypes that team members and clients can review and comment on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n InVision is easy to use and allows you to quickly share visual ideas among your team, gather feedback, and send designs to clients for review.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MindMeister is a flexible brainstorming app that can help digital marketing teams sketch out project plans, brainstorm campaign ideas, or even draft infographics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although it includes templates, MindMeister is so intuitive and fun to use, you might just find yourself mapping out what\u2019s in your house! You can easily obtain feedback on your maps, which makes MindMeister a great collaboration tool.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like Asana, Monday.com is a full-featured project management system, but it doesn\u2019t offer task dependencies. However, it allows you to create different dashboards so that you can see what\u2019s happening at a glance. If your team is juggling a lot of projects, Monday.com is a great option.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday.com also lets you estimate the time that tasks will take, which makes it useful for evaluating your team\u2019s workload.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slack is fairly famous among digital marketing teams for its fresh design, fast file sharing, and bots that automate a lot of tasks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slack does as promised and helps reduce your email. It also helps your team organize its communication via channels, which you can divide up by project, topic, or whatever you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trello is a Kanban-style productivity app, but it\u2019s flexible enough that digital marketing teams can use it to collaborate in a variety of ways. You can track tasks by status, you can upload digital assets and organize by project, and you can also map out marketing campaigns by moving the digital cards around.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trello allows due dates and reminders to be added to any card, and its directory of \u201cpower ups\u201d allows teams to expand the functionality of the cards and integrate other apps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zoho is a full suite of apps that includes email, marketing software, CRM, and many other useful apps. For digital marketing teams looking to centralize their software with one provider, Zoho likely has an app for them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zoho includes essential tools for collaboration such as a chat app, Cliq, and a web conferencing app, ShowTime. Its email is unique in that team members can tag other people in emails to instantly share messages with them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nGoSkills LMS<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n
