Using Statusbrew's Bitly Integration, brands can shorten links directly from the Compose window. They can add a different shortening link for each client or sub-brand for the best experience. This works great when your brand already has a custom domain and it would help you maintain their identity and recognition. Branded Short Domains drive more than just brand impressions and visibility – they can drive up to a 34% increase in CTR.
