Easy creation of CD-compliant visual content, across locations

CD-compliant image content can be created very easily, including simple image editing functions such as format adjustments, filters, and the like. This saves a lot of time in daily work. Another major advantage: in international corporate groups such as ours (with different social media/marketing managers and channels in a number of countries), the templates make it easy to define a common design framework that everyone can then use when creating visual content for Social Media.

Pros:

Mate makes it easy to create high-quality visual content that's true to your brand's Corporate Design. Whether you need a picture or an animation, creating new content is very easy and done in a few minutes - because Mate relies on templates which can be adapted for every post. A big help in the hussle of daily business, especially for small social media teams - or international companies that seek to stay compliant to their corporate design around the globe. The customer support from the Mate team is also great. Whenever there is a problem or you need something, they go out of their way to help you asap.

Cons:

Depending on how creative you want to get with Mate, at some point you are reaching a limit. That's because Mate relies on templates, which also cannot be combined - at least right now.

Huge time saver with excellent support for social media design :)

Our overall experience has been extremely positive. Mate has helped us save time and decentralize design work without losing consistency in our corporate identity. The close customer support and openness to feedback make the collaboration very smooth.

Pros:

As Head of Design, I used to spend a lot of time fixing small issues in our social media posts, such as typos in teasers or swapping out photos. With Mate, I was able to create templates that were implemented by their team, so now colleagues in Germany and other countries can create social media posts on their own while staying fully on brand. They can also import and export content independently. This saves me a huge amount of time and lets me focus on more important tasks. I also really appreciate the excellent support: quick responses, regular update calls, and the opportunity to request new features or improvements.

Cons:

Sometimes the templates are not perfectly precise in terms of design. For example, text alignment or spacing might be slightly off compared to a custom graphic I would create in Photoshop. As a designer I notice these small differences, sometimes just one or two pixels, but I think most people would not pay attention to them. This is a minor issue that comes with using templates.

Easy and CI-conform content creation with Mate

Pros:

What I liked most about Mate was its intuitive user interface, which makes it easy to navigate even complex tasks.

Cons:

One area for improvement could be the customization options. While the platform has great core functionality, having more options to tailor the interface to specific needs or integrate with additional third-party apps would enhance flexibility and personalization for users.
