Starting a content production apprenticeship in November of last year with the amazing Juice Academy [They didn't tell me to say that], I quickly had to come to terms with some of the industry shortcuts and tools used in the everyday life of a content producer.
All of these tools are obtainable, if your company is looking to invest in you!
These are my top 5 tools that have helped me in content production so far! *In no particular order*
Hootsuite
Hootsuite is a great content planning tool, I personally use this everyday at work to properly schedule the work I create. Hootsuite allows you to pick a specific time and date to schedule your content so that you can hit key engagement times or days.
Adobe Cloud
Although quite expensive, the Adobe Cloud provides great editing software. Premier Pro, Indesign & Photoshop are industry leading software that you NEED to have to keep up with quality of the content produced.
Microsoft Office
Again, at a cost Microsoft Office is great to create content and also keep content stored. I used Sharepoint, Planner & Exel daily. Sharepoint I used to store pictures and videos, Planner I use for upcoming projects or projects that are currently underway, Excel I use for my content schedule so I can visibly see what needs creating and when they need to be posted for.
Canva
“Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content.” I use Canva mainly for inspiration. If a graphic needs to be created with a short deadline, I would take a template from Canva and recreate it in the Adobe Cloud.
Kapwing (Personal Favourite)
And finally, Kapwing, I use this for short video editing and captioning, I have been using this tool for a while, there are easily better ones out there but I’m most comfortable using this one.

Content production involves a dynamic process that requires seamless coordination between teams, from ideation to publication. With so many moving parts, effective collaboration tools are essential to streamline communication, manage tasks, and ensure deadlines are met. Features like shared workspaces, real-time updates, and centralized content repositories empower teams to stay aligned and productive. Integrating the right technology enhances visibility and accountability, fostering a collaborative environment. That’s why many organizations rely on project management collaboration software.

Microsoft Office sounds like a great all-in-one solution for project management and scheduling, especially with tools like SharePoint and Planner. Canva is such a lifesaver for quick inspiration and templates—I love how versatile it is! As for Kapwing, I can totally relate to sticking with a tool you’re comfortable with; sometimes the ease of use outweighs the features of more complex options. level devil
