2026

What's next?

2026 has blown by real fast. And there's been a lot more competition from up-and-comers who have used Claude to unlock their superpowers - particularly in the Meta ads and visuals space.

For the upcoming year my focus will be on improved curator targeting, better Meta ads, and a potential revamp of our influencer offering. Oh, and we might dive into distribution.

In conclusion...

Many thanks to our amazing SubmitHub team: Henko, Dylan, Jami, Tilly, Carey and Chrissie. And also our customer support champs: Jeremy, James, mp3hugger, Atroxity, analoguetrash and Various Small Flames.

And of course, thanks to all of you reading this: your feedback has been instrumental in building a SubmitHub that works for everyone.
