The Communication Timeline

The Communication Timeline

To run the communication for Mecene, my platform that connects artists with cultural grants, I built my own campaign tool. It isn't an editorial calendar, it's a control room. A horizontal timeline carries each post as a circle.

Everything on one card

I unfold a circle on the timeline: I find the idea for the post, whether it's sponsored or organic, and the script that goes with it. Each post carries its whole thought, not just a text field to fill in.

drag, scroll wheel or arrow keys

Publish without leaving the card

Publishing, spending and measuring usually sit across several tools and several people; here, all three sit on one screen, run by one person. From this same card, I have the AI write the caption, I publish or schedule on Instagram, I prepare the TikTok draft. The link in the Instagram and TikTok bio switches by itself to the latest published post, and caption generation refuses to overwrite a text I've already edited by hand.

A hand on the budget

I launch or stop a paid campaign from the same card, without switching screens or opening a second tool. It's a hand on the money spent, not just on the content that goes online.

The loop closes

I read, post by post, the figures that come back. Posting, spending and measuring finally sit in the same place. A second tool lives right next to this timeline: it makes the visuals for each post, and it has its own page.
