Our take
Creating ideal content takes time and is effort-intensive. This is where automating content creation processes can help streamline content creation, speeding up marketing efforts and saving teams time.
Taking advantage of this need is Foleon, a content creation platform. The platform provides B2B companies with an intuitive drag and drop editor and interactive "Foleon Doc" format, enabling them to create bespoke digital content experiences.
The company has amassed over 1,400 customers globally and published more than fifty-thousand content assets - a clear sign of the appetite for its offering. It continues to add new features to ensure its utility, including tools to help clients scale their content creation in the wake of rising demand and in 2024, was named by online software marketplace Tekpon as the best content marketing software for that year.
