One of the most difficult things for blogs, businesses, and brands to do on a daily basis is creating engaging content. There are countless examples of companies and people trying to make such content, but more often than not, it is just horrible. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. We just came across a new company that makes it simple to make interactive content: ContentTools. We had a chance to ask the team a few questions about their new platform:
ContentTools

Tell us your founding story. Was there an “ah ha” moment?
We started off as a city guide called LocalView. We wrote articles about restaurants, events, and entertainment. We started seeing how popular quizzes and other forms of interactive content were and wanted to create our own. We didn’t see a good product in the market to build interactive content so we decided to build it ourselves. As we were building the product, we had interest from local media companies to use the product as well. We started licensing out the software and from there, started seeing other use cases for interactive content. We built 7 tools and added features to generate leads and build social audiences. We built ContentTools as a solution to one of our problems and ended up licensing it out to other companies with the same problem.
