Beacon
Beacon is a complete social media management hub that lives inside the project it belongs to. Plan the month, write native copy for five networks, route it through the approvals your client actually asked for, schedule it to the hour that performs, and read back what it did — without a spreadsheet, a shared password or a separate subscription per account.
The reason social tools break at agency scale is that they were built for one brand and stretched to fit many. Beacon starts the other way round.
Every project in the Hub gets its own Beacon: its own connected accounts, its own brand voice and banned phrases, its own approval chain, its own quiet hours and posting cadence, its own calendar, its own numbers. Nothing crosses. A member of the Northwind team cannot see Acme’s queue, and Acme’s disclaimer will never turn up on Northwind’s post — not by policy, but because the account boundary is enforced on every single query.
Everyone can tell when a LinkedIn post is a tweet with the hashtags stripped off. Beacon writes a separate variant for every network — its own length, its own register, its own conventions — and then holds each one to that network’s real limits.
Drafts are written from that project’s own Context and the files in its library someone switched on for the AI. If it could reach neither, the draft says so rather than passing itself off as researched.
Brand voice, banned phrases, emoji policy, hashtag limits and required disclaimers are applied when the AI writes and checked again the moment before it sends — so copy edited after generation is checked too.
It includes the disclaimer the save will append. The number under the box is the length that actually ships, not the length you happened to type.
The two things that end an agency relationship are a post that should never have shipped and a post that shipped three times. Beacon is built around both.
Define the approval chain the client asked for — a copy lead, then legal, then the client themselves — and posts work through it in order. A stage passes when its required approvals are in. Request changes sends the post back with the note attached. Every decision stays on the post, permanently, next to the copy it was made about.
Then, before every send, eight preflight checks run: a connected account, a live token, no rate limit in force, the network’s length limit, media present and of a supported type, the disclaimers still in the copy, the client’s own rules, and every link resolving. A failure blocks the send and names the check that stopped it rather than reporting a generic error. A post that went out on three networks of five shows you exactly that, and offers a retry on just the failures.
Beacon reads six months of this client’s own published history and works out which weekday-hour slots earned engagement — then schedules into them. Not a blog post’s idea of best practice; this account’s measured record.
Not yours. A calendar that shows Acme’s 9am in your local time is a calendar that will eventually publish at 2am in Denver.
Quiet hours, a per-day cap, a minimum gap between posts. Drag a post into a slot that breaks one and the drop is refused with the rule that stopped it named.
Under about twenty published posts, Beacon says the heatmap is too thin to draw a conclusion from — instead of drawing one.
Performance by network, by campaign, by theme track and over time — impressions, engagements, engagement rate and clicks, taken from the networks’ own metrics and always labelled with how fresh the numbers are.
Save a report with its date range and run it whenever the client asks: a row per send, a total per campaign, or an executive summary that totals by network with an all-networks line. Out as CSV, into the deck, done before the call.
Beacon speaks X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Drafting, approvals, scheduling, the calendar and the rules work across all five today.
X and LinkedIn publish now. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok are built — their real limits, media rules and preflight checks are live, so a draft written for them is a valid draft — and they are waiting on Meta and TikTok app review before they can send. We will say the day that changes rather than let you find out on a client’s launch.
We build alongside a small, deliberately chosen group of researchers and teams — close enough that what you ask for tends to ship. Tell us what you research, and we'll open the door.
