Their social media goals is simple:

  • Showcase weekly product drops

  • Highlight their community
  • Stay authentic, consistent, and connected

“We want to stay connected with our community and make content that reflects who we are.” Jimmy, shares with us.

Before Publer: Manual Posting and Frustration

Before using Publer, Findlay’s small team was manually posting across all platforms. Seven accounts, multiple networks, and no centralized system. We can imagine how hard that was.

They had no way to plan ahead, no structure, and no content creation systems, just lots of copy-pasting and context-switching. It made growth harder, not easier. So what changed everything? Publer.

“It was super inefficient and frustrating. There was no way to do things across multiple platforms at once, especially TikTok.”

2. Collaborating Easily (Without Stepping on Toes)

With Publer’s team access, the team of two in Findlay can work simultaneously on the same calendar. Whether one is scheduling a product drop and the other is queuing behind-the-scenes reels, there’s no confusion or content overlap.
