CUE review
A modular newsroom platform for planning, producing and publishing across formats and channels.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CUE brings editorial planning, content collaboration, production and delivery together for publishers and broadcasters. Stibo DX presents it as a modular media enterprise platform for organizations working across teams, brands and channels. Its scope suits mid-market and enterprise editorial operations that need shared planning and workflows spanning multiple formats, rather than teams seeking a narrowly focused publishing tool.
Planning and production connect through Cue Hive and Cue Content Store. Hive supports shared timelines, long-term calendars, task coordination, assignment, notifications, progress tracking and editorial workflows. Content Store provides a collaborative story editor and supports adapting stories for print, digital, social, audio and video. Digital asset management adds metadata, rights management and version control, while workflow automation can span story creation, approval and delivery. AI-assisted content creation, optimization and workflow automation are also included. This breadth may help teams coordinate work from planning through delivery, though buyers should assess how its modular components fit their own processes.
CUE supports multichannel publishing and offers an API and extensible integrations architecture; Cue Dam is the named integration. The platform is cloud-based, with web and API listed as platforms, and ISO 27001 is among its compliance credentials. According to Stibo DX's pricing information, prospective buyers are directed to request a demo or get in touch rather than choose a published plan. Support channels list documentation. CUE is worth considering for larger editorial organizations that need connected planning, collaboration, asset management and multichannel production. Smaller teams with straightforward workflows, or buyers who need clear plan pricing, broad named integrations or support options beyond documentation, may prefer a more focused alternative.
