Who we help · Communications leaders

Visibility, reporting and accountability across official channels.

You answer for what your organisation says in public and for what the public says back. Brolly gives communications leaders one view of the connected channel estate, reports drawn from the record itself, and a clear line on who acted when something needed attention.

The role

What this team is accountable for.

Communications owns the official voice. That ownership comes with obligations that outlast any single post.

Voice

The official voice

What goes out on your organisation’s channels is yours to stand behind, including posts that were later edited or deleted, and the replies your team made in the moment.

Estate

The channel estate

Knowing which accounts exist, who runs them and what each one is doing. Departments open accounts; communications answers for the lot.

Reporting

Reporting to leadership

Executives and elected officials want to know what the channels carried, what residents raised and how the team responded. You supply that picture, regularly.

Standards

Community standards

Keeping official pages usable: comment policies applied consistently, and an answer ready when a moderation call is questioned.

The current process

Where the usual approach breaks down.

Most communications teams answer for their channels with tools that were never designed for accountability.

Screenshots

Screenshots as evidence

When legal or leadership asks what was said, someone hunts through phones and platform apps for screenshots. A screenshot has no metadata, no context and no answer for content that was edited or deleted first.

Hand-compiled

Hand-compiled reports

Quarterly reporting means downloading per-platform exports, reconciling numbers that never quite match, and pasting the result into a deck. Hours of assembly for a picture that is stale on arrival.

Disconnected

Disconnected teams

Records asks communications to reconstruct a thread. Communications asks IT who had access to an account. Each request lands as a favor between teams instead of a lookup in a shared system.

A better operating workflow

Run the channels from one record.

Visibility

See the whole channel estate

Every account your organisation connects lands in one archive: supported posts, comments, edits and deletions, across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok. When a department account surfaces in a meeting, you can look at what it has actually been doing instead of asking around.

  • One view across every connected account and platform
  • Supported edits and deletions preserved with their timestamps
  • Activity searchable by account, keyword and date range
  • New accounts join the same archive when they are connected
Reporting

Report from the record

Reports draw on archived activity rather than per-platform exports, so the numbers and the underlying posts come from the same place. Insights outputs support human review and may not always reflect context or intent accurately; they are not designed to track or profile individuals across unrelated accounts, customers, services or locations.

  • Reporting across connected accounts without spreadsheet assembly
  • Drill from a figure to the archived posts and comments behind it
  • Exports in PDF and CSV for leadership packs and briefings
  • Your team applies the judgment; the record supplies the evidence
Accountability

When something needs attention, a person acts

Moderation runs on rules your team configures, with automatic action where you have configured it. Flagged content goes to authorised review: your reviewers release false positives, adjust the rules and log the outcome. When a moderation decision is challenged, the who-did-what is already written down.

  • Rules your team sets, tuned to your comment policy
  • Automatic action only where you have configured it
  • Authorised review to release false positives and refine rules
  • A logged trail of actions to answer questions with

Working with other teams

The handoffs that stop hurting.

Communications sits between the channels and everyone who has questions about them. A shared record turns each handoff into a lookup.

Records

Records managers

Official social media content may constitute a public record under applicable federal, state or local law. Records staff work from the same archive you do, applying retention without asking your team to reconstruct anything.

See recordkeeping
Access

Information access officers

When a public FOI request touches social media, the search and the export happen in the archive, not in your team’s screenshots folder.

See FOI requests
Legal

Legal and compliance

When counsel needs to see what was said, when it changed and who acted, the archived record is designed to support that review, with its timestamps and history intact.

IT

IT and security

Security teams assess Brolly against their own requirements; controls are aligned with NIST SP 800-53, and the documentation lives on our security page.

Straight answers

Questions communications leaders ask us.

Which platforms and accounts can we bring under one view?
Brolly preserves supported posts, comments, edits and deletions from the accounts your organisation connects, across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok. Every connected account lands in the same archive, so a multi-department channel list stops being a spreadsheet you maintain by hand.
Does Brolly replace our publishing or scheduling tool?
No. Brolly is not a publishing tool: your team keeps posting with whatever it posts with today. Brolly sits alongside, preserving what your connected accounts publish and what the public says back, so the record and the reporting come from one place regardless of how content went out.
Can I report on our channels without compiling platform exports?
Yes. Reports draw on the archived activity of your connected accounts, so one view covers every platform instead of a deck assembled from per-platform downloads. Insights outputs support human review and may not always reflect context or intent accurately, so treat them as the starting point for your read, not the final word.
What happens when a comment needs attention fast?
Moderation runs on rules your team configures. Where you have configured automatic action, Brolly acts on matching content; everything flagged then goes to authorised review, where your team releases false positives and adjusts the rules. Detection works in near real time on supported content, and a person always has the final say on what stands.
Is this surveillance of our residents or customers?
No. Brolly archives the public activity on your organisation’s own connected accounts so you can answer for your official channels. It is not designed to track or profile individuals across unrelated accounts, customers, services or locations. What it watches is your channels, because that is what you are accountable for.
