Streamlining Social Media Content Distribution with QNTM Connect
So, you’ve created that perfect blog post or that new landing page is now crafted. It’s all set up in Page builder in Ibexa DXP and you’re now ready to publish or you've scheduled it to publish at a later date. The next obvious step here is to communicate this content through multiple marketing channels.
However, it’s also important to note that social media channels all have slightly different constraints, which vary from restrictions on character lengths for posts, image size variations and, perhaps most importantly, the tone of voice used in each platform. For example, LinkedIn being more business orientated and Instagram being more image orientated with a more informal tone of voice being essential if you want your organisation to attract engagement on that platform. (Although arguably, you’ll notice that through the advent of ‘shorts’ on LinkedIn and the ability to infinite scroll through videos, the functionality of this platform is moving a little closer to the likes of Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, but that’s a debate for another day..
When it comes to efficient content distribution, understanding these constraints and being able to automate this process as much as possible is the key to efficient content distribution for marketers, and today we’ll take a look at how QNTM connect, together with Ibexa DXP, can help with this.

The Pain Points of Multichannel Content Distribution
Marketers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks involved in managing content across different platforms. Here are some of the most common pain points:
- Time-Consuming Manual Processes: Publishing content manually to each social media platform is labor-intensive and prone to errors. Marketers must navigate each platform’s unique interface and requirements, which consumes valuable time that could be spent on strategic planning and creativity.
- Consistency and Customization: Ensuring consistent messaging across all platforms while customizing content to suit each channel's audience is a delicate balance. Different platforms have different character limits, image dimensions, and engagement styles, making it challenging to maintain a coherent brand voice.
- Scheduling and Timing: Optimal posting times vary by platform and audience. Coordinating these schedules manually is cumbersome and increases the risk of missing key posting windows.
- Tracking and Analytics: Keeping track of content performance across multiple platforms can be disjointed, making it difficult to gain a comprehensive view of engagement and ROI.
