Bold overview

What is Bold?

Bold is a cloud-based, API-driven content management system (CMS) which allows teams to collaboratively create, manage, publish, track, and monetize digital content. The platform is designed for online publishers, content marketers, news publications, healthcare, transportation, IT, and more.

Bold offers a collaborative workspace for teams to create and manage content. Configurable workflows, multi-channel content delivery, card-based story organization, automated publishing, and support for multiple languages and content formats help users to break news across a range of devices and platforms. The autoscaling infrastructure is designed to handle viral content, and supports Google AMP and Facebook Instant Articles to deliver content to intended audiences. Bold also offers personalized newsletters, SEO best practices, content syndication, and push notifications.

Bold’s personalization engine aims to increase audience engagement with content. Real-time analytics, engagement tracking, and automated daily reports let users evaluate the performance of their content and authors. The Metype feed enables real-time communication, with commenting and replies, and content can be monetized using the API-driven subscription platform and recurring payment integrations. Users can create multiple subscription levels to offer access to different content, or across different devices.
