Human Resources Manager at Unilever Inc.
Team has streamlined daily social scheduling and has increased social reach with unified analytics
The best features Sprout Social offers are user-friendly tools, great customer support, and data collection and reporting. It allows you to see your full content calendar of what you planned. It allows us to see cross-posts on different platforms. It customizes the post's design for each social media. Tagging posts, comments, and inbox management are also very beneficial. Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by saving us time and effort. We do not have to schedule all posting into each of our platforms; we just use Sprout Social to do it on all our platforms, saving a lot of effort and time. It allows us to work together without having to plan meetings. Also, it has been very helpful because in the past year, we have been able to increase our Instagram video views by 42.4%. We were able to increase our average reach and were also able to increase our average reach per post on TikTok by 146%. Sprout Social helped drive those increases in views and reach through both analytics and scheduling. Being consistent has helped us grow.
