Haulix Weekly Update #109 – “Aw! Look at that little baby axe!”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for taking a few minutes to browse our company blog. Things have been busy around HQ, which has only made us more excited for the weekend. While we wait for it to arrive we thought it best to recap our week, as well as share a song that we think everyone will be talking about soon. Enjoy:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

Since our updated platform is still a month away from launch we thought it might be fun to share two new features coming to Haulix that we feel will benefit clients immensely:

– Press Release Creator (no more need for MadMimi or MailChimp)

– Drag and drop customization on all promos and press releases

– New login functionality for press

We will continue to unveil additional changes/updates in the week(s) ahead. Stay tuned.

BLOG NEWS:

Things on the blog continue to progress with each passing week. This is always the case, I suppose, but in the past week it has especially been true as we have been attempting to plan the remainder of 2015. It’s true we are still nearly three months from welcoming 2016, but January will be here fast and we want to be prepared. If there is anything you would like to see us cover, shoot James an email at james@haulix.com

Haulix Weekly Recap #107: “I’m sick of being so healthy”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for taking a few minutes to browse our company blog. Things have been a little slow this week, but that is due more to our staff battling colds than a lack of ideas. We’re currently bundled up on couches, and by the time a new week arrives we hope to be back in tip top shape. Until then, we thought it best to recap our week, as well as share a song that we think everyone will be talking about soon. Enjoy:

BLOG NEWS:

If you wanted to know who made us sick, go ahead and blame blog editor James Shotwell. For the past week James has been growing increasingly sick, and at this point he has no voice at all. We’ve forced him into bed rest, so hopefully things will pick up next week. In the meantime, use these links to catch up with our latest content offerings:

Haulix Weekly Update #106: “In case you didn’t real-ize, I was being sarcastic.”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for stopping by our blog. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we’re happy to have your attention. This is our weekly recap post, which runs every Friday, and in it we talk all things Haulix. Before we get there however, we like to share a song that has been on repeat in our offices this week. With the weekend only a few short hours away, this track will help you celebrate your impending freedom like no other. Enjoy:

SXSW News:

So, remember when we asked you to help us make our dream of bringing a discussion on piracy to SXSW a reality? Well, WE DID IT! Haulix will be spearheading an industry discussion about the piracy, its ongoing impact, and the hope we have for the future. More details will be available soon.

Development News:

We don’t have any new information to share on the development front. As we work on this post our development is grinding away at what will become the new version of our platform. It’s cleaner, faster, easier to navigate, and complete with an overhauled set of analytics that offers more insight into how users engage with your promos than ever before. We hope to have the final version ready for release in November, but it may take a little bit longer to get everything just right. We really appreciate your patience.

Blog News:

Things on the blog continue to progress with each passing week. We had a small setback due to some family related issues this week, but we have been working hard on some great content for the weeks ahead. If you missed anything, here’s a quick set of links you might need to click:

Haulix Weekly Update #104: “You’re Going To Give Yourself Skin Failure”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for stopping by our company blog. This is the last update we will run in the month of September, and overall we think this month has treated us well. Our staff is entirely comprised of people who adore Halloween, so believe me when I say we’re all anxious for October to begin. We also have some major surprises in store for the month ahead, but we’re not quite ready to reveal them just yet. For now, jam this:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

Unlike last week, there is no major development news to share. That said, staff member James Shotwell did have a chance to see the revamped version of Haulix we plan to release later this year just last night and he wanted to offer a initial on the product for readers:

“I know I am bias, but the new version of Haulix is the best one yet. The new design is streamlined to the max, with beautiful graphics and in-depth analytics. I’m not allowed to discuss a lot of bells and whistles I saw in action, but it looks really good. I think clients and press alike will be thankful this update took place.”

BLOG NEWS:

We are incredibly proud of this week’s content. I know we say that every few weeks, but something about the last five days has been incredibly special. Not only did we deliver a wide array of content, but we managed to cover a number of interesting subjects along the way, including feminism and the current state of mainstream rock and roll.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE:

We will be performing general patch updates in all of our servers this Saturday, September 5, from 12:00PM to 4:00PM CST. There will be some minor downtime during the process and services will be unavailable.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

As usual, there is very little to report on the development front. Our team has been working hard to perfect the next version of Haulix, which we hope to release next month, but at this time there is nothing new we feel comfortable sharing with the public just yet. We are getting close to the point of being able to reveal everything, but there are still a few things we need to sort our first.  We appreciate your patience.

BLOG NEWS:

We are incredibly proud of this week’s content. I guess as the people behind the blog that should always be true, but some weeks we know we didn’t roll out our absolute best work. That’s not to say it isn’t good, but as any creative person will tell you it’s quite rare to feel satisfied with a project. This week, we’re satisfied with what we created.

Additionally, we have begun planning a series of online learning sessions to help introduce clients, as well as members of the press, to the new version of Haulix. Signups for these courses will begin in early September.

BLOG NEWS

The biggest piece of news we have this week on the blog front is our recent collaboration with SonicBids. A lot of people have told us our blog reminds them of the one SonicBids has, so our two companies decided to partner and share content in order to better provide our readers with a more well-rounded view of life in the modern music industry. You’ll see some of their posts on our site moving forward, and you’ll likely spot some of our old content on theirs. 

We’ve also been messing around with podcast stuff, but we’ll have more on that next week.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for finding a little time in your surely busy schedules to spend a few minutes browsing our company blog. Fridays are always a special time, and we could not be happier to have you with us. Before we dive in, let’s celebrate the end of a long work week with this new jam:

We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

Following a couple weeks filled with updates regarding our forthcoming platform update, this week we have basically nothing to report. Development is ongoing, but there are a lot of tiny details being worked out at the moment that would mean nothing to the average consumer if explained.

BLOG NEWS:

To be honest, the blog took a bit of a backseat in recent days as our team worked to bring our first-ever user handbook to life. We are planning to release guides for press and clients alike ahead of our relaunch this October, and to do that we’ve had to divert some of our attention away from the blog. That said, we did use this week to lineup a number of great interviews, as well as the long-awaited return of our podcast. 

In case you missed any posts this week, we took it upon ourselves to link every piece of content we ran this week in the space below. Take a few minutes and catch up:
