Social Media Managers: Can we chat about your content ideation pains? (Building in public)

2
👋 Hey Product Hunters! Building something in the content creation space and would love your insights. I'm specifically looking to chat with social media managers and content creators about the challenges around content ideation and planning. Why I'm asking Working on making content ideation less painful for SMMs by helping them discover fresh, proven content ideas through real-time content curation (not just AI suggestions). Before going deeper into building, I want to ensure we're solving real problems. Looking for 15-minute chats with social media managers about: - Current content discovery/planning workflows - Pain points with existing solutions - What would make content planning actually enjoyable What's in it for you - Insights from other SMMs about effective content strategies - Chance to shape a tool you might use - My eternal gratitude 🙏 If you're managing social media content or know someone who does, I'd love to connect for a quick chat! Comment below if you're interested. Thanks Product Hunters! 🚀

In my opinion, it is difficult to stand out from so many discussions that "AI-led". We – marketers, are trying to target on regular users who are on social media because they try to be with friends (real people) and seek entertainment. When we talk to them with AI, they can feel averse. Of course, we should somehow sort out this thing – to find balance so marketers still can effectively target audience and at the same time to use AI to save energy, effort, time etc. It would be great to find the right ratio.

Finding the right balance with AI in social media marketing is tricky. Personally, I think the key is to use AI to assist and enhance, but not replace, the human touch. Maybe try using AI to help generate post ideas, research trending topics, or even create first drafts - but always have a real person review, edit, and add that personal flair before posting. It's about leveraging AI to save time on grunt work, while still keeping content authentic and engaging for your audience. Would love to hear how others are navigating this!
