Our take

Engagement tools for social media are proving increasingly vital with the rise of social commerce, and brands need to keep a careful eye on customer satisfaction and interaction if the company is to net a profit from this market. Sprout Social is a social media management platform for brands and agencies of all sizes, allowing users to post, manage engagement, and access analytics on a single hub.

With plenty of big-name customers, including Unicef, Chipotle, and Subaru, Sprout Social has established a trusted and effective brand of its own. It dodged direct competition with social engagement platform Hootsuite by expressly prioritising its customer service tools, where Sprout Social appears to be generally recognised as superior.

To double down on serving the social commerce market and carve out a distinctive niche ahead of this e-commerce trend’s anticipated success, Sprout Social has integrated with platforms such as Shopify, Canva and Facebook Shops. It is also a member of the TikTok marketing partner program and has continued to receive accolades for its software.
