Cue Hive is built to support the rhythm of collaboration, the back-and-forth between ideas and execution, and the shared drive to deliver stories with purpose. It removes operational complexity and brings everyone together around what really matters: the story.
Story-centric planning
Instead of organizing by distribution channel, teams align around the story itself, from pitch to distribution. Shared timelines, real-time visibility, and format-agnostic coordination make it easier to plan and respond faster to audience preferences. All while keeping everyone in the newsroom in sync.
Cross-format planning. Plan once and distribute everywhere. Align the creation of print, digital, and social versions around a single story plan, instead of juggling separate workflows.
Live progress tracking. Follow story development as it happens. Updates, approvals, and changes appear instantly, keeping every team member informed and in sync.
The story canvas. See every story’s timeline, tasks, and assets in one view. From first pitch to final checkoff. No more scattered notes or parallel plans in disconnected applications.
Content collaboration
Cue Hive centralizes briefs, research, feedback, and updates in a single space. It eliminates silos and fragmented communication, fostering real-time team collaboration with clear ownership and visibility. Allowing your teams to deliver stories at an extremely high velocity.
Asset centralization
With Cue Hive, assets are not an afterthought. They’re built into the beginning of the planning process, reducing search time and second-guessing on rights. Visuals, video, and assets are easily connected to the story and its tasks, enabling smarter asset usage, reducing rework, and supporting consistent storytelling across story variants.
Connected from the start. No uploads or duplications of tasks on assets. Every photo, graphic, and video is linked to its story in real time through Cue Dam, so everyone can trust task assignments and results from first draft to final layout.
Governed and searchable. What assets fits the story narrative best? All assets in Cue Dam carry structured metadata, rights, and usage context, making it easy to find and use for story planning across brands and channels.
Collaboration meets control. Editors, designers, and journalists work from one shared view. Comments, updates, and version history stay with the asset, ensuring feedback and decision-making never get lost.
