Localized Timezones For Social Media Accounts

Who: Social Media Managers
Goal: Make posting to multiple accounts (across different time zones) more intuitive

Value: Make it easier to target audiences from different areas across the globe


Context: Currently the hubspot social media clock is synced with the hubspot main account clock. So for example, quing up for the Middle East I'd have to manually calculate the time difference between UAE and Malaysia and input 12:00 noon if I want the post to go out at 8:00am UAE time. 

Now, add a couple more time zones to that and this gets complicated.

 

Example: Loomly Social Scheduler- You can set timezones for each calendar (social media account) that is seperate from the global account's timezone.Loomly Calendar Time Zone SettingLoomly Calendar Time Zone Setting

 

Hubspot offers an impressive 50 accounts that can be linked, but without the infrastructure to optimally use the capabilities this impressive number is suddenly not so impressive.

I wholeheartedly agree with this idea. It would be good to have a separate time zone setting for marketing purposes as there are organizations with branches across the globe running on time zones but have one main account on Hubspot, which has only one default time zone.

Agreed - our HQ is in the UK and not having flexibility to post in local timezones is very frustrating.  To Lubna's point, having optional timezones you could use across the entire Hubspot account would be amazing, but at a minimum it should be customisable at individual campaign level.  It's setup like this for email sequences so I'm not sure why it hasn't for social.

This would save our team so much time since we are posting across several different countries.
