Michelle Thames: How ClickUp’s Chat View and Folders Keep My Business Organized
Social media has become an integral part of life and continues to transform our world.
It has changed the way we live, share ideas, learn new information, communicate, and interact with people and brands.
Entrepreneur and Strategic Social Marketing expert, Michelle Thames, saw this as a golden opportunity to start her own business and show the world a thing or two about social media for business. #YouGoGirl ✨

Summarize this article for me pleaseHow do you use ClickUp for your business?
ClickUp helps us keep our social media management clients organized.
We use it to create different Folder files for each of my clients and keep all important information when it comes to managing our client’s social media accounts.
The social media manager and the brand team all have access to their client’s ClickUp board. We house the brand’s standards, social media strategy, special projects, meeting notes, and also graphic design in these folders.
Chat view is useful for when we have updates on content approvals and special projects. We really use it to make sure we are staying on task with our clients and also they can see progress and let us know any updates.
I love the task and project management in ClickUp; I really don’t know where I would be without it right now.
Summarize this article for me pleaseWhat tools, if any, do you integrate with ClickUp?
Another tool that I have integrated with ClickUp is Zoom!
The ClickUp integration with Zoom makes it convenient for users to start or join a meeting, and even view recorded meetings, right from a ClickUp task.

Summarize this article for me pleaseHow has ClickUp improved your work and life?
ClickUp has saved me so much time and has allowed me to focus on areas that are important in order to bring in more clients.
It allows me to work with my team seamlessly and keep our projects organized. Everyone knows what is where and it’s super easy to navigate.
It also allows our clients to see where we are with projects and keeps everyone on a timeline. We like to work smarter and not harder.
