They were stuck posting manually to X and Facebook because they didn&#8217;t trust their previous system&#8217;s automation.<\/p>\n<p>This meant they had &#8220;much less time on platforms like Instagram and pretty much no time on TikTok.\u201d The social team was aware of the opportunity\u2014building direct engagement with younger audiences\u2014but lacked the bandwidth to execute.<\/p>\n<p>As Boyd noted: &#8220;It\u2019s really about direct engagement on these platforms and building relationships.\u201d To achieve this kind of growth, they needed to fundamentally change their workflow<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83e\udde0 The game-changer: Trusting AI to enable strategic TikTok growth<\/h2>\n<p>The Philadelphia Inquirer sought an intelligent solution that provided confidence in automated posting. They chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Echobox<\/a> for its robust AI that intelligently automates time-consuming manual tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The core benefit was simple: by automating their main social channels, the team instantly created the time needed for strategic development. This allowed them to immediately focus on planning and creating native video content to help them grow on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Now, AI handles automated posting during off-hours, while the team uses the newly freed-up time during the day to create video content. Boyd confirmed: \u201cOur onboarding with Echobox aligned with us ramping up our TikTok strategy because it created much more time for the social editors to be able to plan, script and shoot social video.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83e\udd73 The big win: 26 hours daily leads to 25,000+ new followers<\/h2>\n<p>The implementation was a huge success, showing that time savings are directly convertible into new audience growth.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Key Operational Metric<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>The Improvement<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time Freed Up (Daily)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An incredible 26 Hours<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New TikTok Followers<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roughly 25,000+<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The time savings immediately translated into massive social video growth: \u201cWe\u2019ve seen massive gains in terms of social video viewership and engagement on Instagram and TikTok. Since last year, we\u2019ve gained roughly 25,000 new followers on TikTok alone. Our Instagram rate of growth is way up. It\u2019s the time savings from Echobox that have allowed us to devote the necessary time to the platforms and get that growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Echobox provided the necessary newsroom efficiency to enable The Inquirer&#8217;s successful answer to how to grow on TikTok. Would Boyd recommend it? \u201cOh yeah, I would definitely recommend it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-template-default \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/case-studies\/the-philadelphia-inquirer-saves-26-hours-a-day-with-echobox\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"The Philadelphia Inquirer saves 26 hours a day with Echobox\"><\/a>\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-image-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-image\">\n\t\t\t<img style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/resource-tile-The-Philadelphia-Inquirer-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/resource-tile-The-Philadelphia-Inquirer-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/resource-tile-The-Philadelphia-Inquirer-1-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-text-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-title\">\n\t\t\tThe Philadelphia Inquirer saves 26 hours a day with Echobox\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-summary\">\n\t\t\tWant the full story?
