The Brief: Winter 2022

December 14, 2022 at 1:00pm ET

This quarter, we released powerful feature updates to make the Column experience more intuitive and customizable. We launched a suite of services that publishers can provide their government agency clients — like Notice by Mail and Planrooms. And finally, we announced a huge new integration opportunity for publishers working with high-volume placement agencies  — Column for Agencies.

Launching Column for Agencies

Do you work with public notice placement agencies that bring high-volume clients to your newspaper? Column now integrates directly with the underlying software that placement agencies use to facilitate the notice process across a wide range of papers on behalf of their clients. Now you can offer them a way to place their notice orders with zero clicks.

Improving Access to Public Information

The Arizona Newspapers Association was able to offer their city clerks access to public notice data through The Column API. This is a new and unique way for publishers to build strong relationships with their local legislatures and for press associations to collaborate with their state government officials.

Expanded Offerings for Government Customers

Column’s new tool supports government staffers with the mailing out of property owner letters as part of their notice placement process. Notice by Mail completely eliminates the hassle of stuffing envelopes by hand and the stress of getting letters mailed on time.

Publishers can now offer a free, additional benefit to government customers placing Request For Proposal notices. Column Planrooms lets customers distribute bid information, manage planholders lists, organize incoming bids, and keep track of everything in one secure place.
