Our take
Platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok have become indispensable for businesses of all sizes, shaping their marketing strategies and driving success. Later specializes in assisting customers in navigating these channels. Offering a visually oriented suite of tools, the marketing platform enables marketing managers to schedule, analyze, and track sales from their content effectively.
Focusing on small businesses, Later is doubling down on its strategy, aiming to provide additional products tailored for marketers at these enterprises while expanding its geographic reach. This expansion of product capabilities not only caters to the evolving needs of small businesses but also helps Later mitigate platform risk from social media companies mimicking its services. Partnerships with platforms like TikTok and Instagram, featuring post scheduling, analytics, and conversation tools, showcase Later's commitment to innovation and staying ahead in the competitive landscape.
In a significant development, Later recently merged with Mavrck to become one single brand under the name Later. The unified entity brings together its flagship products to drive traffic and revenue from platforms like Instagram and TikTok. This move aims to enhance user experience, drive engagement, and allow brands and creatives to achieve their social marketing and revenue goals effectively.
