Mate

## What is Mate?

Mate is the content creation software that has been specially developed for brand communication. With Mate, anyone can create individual graphics, animations or videos without having to pay attention to the corporate design. The intelligent and responsive design system is indestructible and uses artificial intelligence to ensure that all content is brand-compliant and professionally designed at all. The content created is automatically adapted to all important dimensions to ensure optimal presentation on different platforms. In addition to the creation of static content, Mate also enables the automatic animation of all templates. To ensure smooth collaboration across locations, Mate offers the option of creating sub-workspaces for other company locations/departments as well as seamless integration of the company's internal image database. The clear rights and role management in the approval process ensures clear responsibilities.

Ich habe durchweg positive Erfahrungen. es tut, was es soll, sowie guter Kundensupport, wenns mal hakt.

Pros

Die schnelle Erstellung von Social Media Templates, das persönliche Layout, dass zu unserem Projekt passt, das Posten aus Mate heraus direkt auf LinkedIn

Cons

So richtige Nachteile gibt es für mich nicht. Manchmal ärgere ich mich über die Zeichenbegrenzung im Template, aber die Begrenzung ist nicht schlecht, so denke ich über kurze und knackige Veranstaltungstitel nach.

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.

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.

Mate solves tedious internal creation and coordination processes. This allows us to create content faster.

Pros

The compact templates in our CI design save us a lot of work and, above all, we can now create high-quality content at very short notice and share it from the platform on our social media channels.

Cons

I don't think the image editing function is fully developed yet. But Mate is constantly improving it and is very quick and happy to accept feedback.

Mate is easy to use and helps us especially with small projects. Before, we had to commission graphic designers for our content creation, now we can do it on our own with Mate to a large extend.

Pros

Fast and efficient content production (photos and videos) that also meets the requirements of our Corporate Identity

Cons

We would love if there would also be a feature to create print products (like flyer, posters, etc.) with Mate!

My overall experience with Mate has been very positive. It’s a reliable platform that balances ease of use with powerful collaboration features, making it an effective tool for managing projects and tasks. The platform has greatly improved our team’s communication and efficiency.

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.

Great tool, easy to work with, fast and efficient.

Pros

Fast, easy to use and diverse output. I can quickly implement, coordinate and approve spontaneous ideas and download them directly. Even colleagues or substitutes who are not familiar with the tool are quickly on board and can use it. Saves me an incredible amount of time.

Cons

In fact, we have not yet had any real criticism to express. As soon as there was feedback from our side, it was implemented asap. And I'm talking about a few days here, not weeks or months.

We love it and we recommend it to any social media team!

Pros

With Mate, we accelerated our workflow for the production of social media teasers. All our colleagues who have zero experience with graphics can now easily produce graphic teasers.

Cons

It's templates. If you want to have something special, you will still need a graphic designer.
