GatherContent was born from first-hand experience of the stress associated with wrangling content for websites. Our founders ran a digital agency working on content-heavy projects. There were clear processes for design and development but it was content that often caused the chaos. They quickly realized they were not alone in their frustrations of content not being given the respect it deserves.

Built to solve an internal agency issue and now serving 1000s of teams worldwide, GatherContent is a online platform that helps teams organize and produce lots of content for websites.
