Wildfire's New Look and Feel

At Wildfire, we work hard to make our powerful tools simple and easy to use. Sometimes this means being revolutionary rather than evolutionary, so we are changing our platform’s look and feel from the ground up. The new interface design is just one step along the way to fulfill the overall vision of Wildfire 2.0, which is to help enterprises optimize their social media engagement.

While we’re sure you’ll appreciate the streamlined design and more intuitive user interface, what we're most excited about is that this foundation makes us even faster when it comes to developing new features. And with our acquisition by Google, the most innovative technology company in the world, we're ready to continue building the industry's best social media marketing platform.

We plan to launch the new user interface on August 15th. When you log in to the Suite you will be provided with a written guide and video tutorial to lead you through the changes.

The switch to Wildfire 2.0 is a fully automated process and does not require you to take any actions, so all of your account settings and content will be waiting for you upon login.

We think that the new, streamlined application layout and consistent design enhance the user experience and make social media management more intuitive than ever. We know you will enjoy these improvements and we look forward to getting your feedback!

[VIDEO] Wondering how the Wildfire team found out about the Google news?

...by watching an amazing video. What started as a typical Tuesday morning changed when the team received an email inviting them to an impromptu all-hands meeting taking place in 15 minutes. As a flood of people shuffled into their auditorium-style seats, Victoria and Alain played a short video that promised to answer the question on everyone's mind. The conclusion, where the news is revealed, is the best part. But we think the lead-up could touch your heart as it did ours.

The video below is a view of the team watching the announcement. And below that is the actual presentation that revealed the announcement!
