I like to go into each platform and look at what posts performed really well and which ones didn’t. Directly from here, I’ll schedule out new posts with similar content or test different times—another great way to beef up our editorial calendar!”

Erin Supinka

Assistant Director of Digital Engagement

Without Sprout, I may be missing messages, comments, complaints. The scheduling and publishing calendar has also made efficiency so easy to the point where I can work and schedule content a week or two ahead.”

Assunta Catalano

Social Media Manager at KISS

I would say being able to approve posts was a big part of why we chose Sprout at the time. A lot of Sprout’s competitors did not have that capability. Our marketing department traditionally owned everything online, but when you have a growing portfolio of over 120 properties, it’s really difficult for one or two people to have eyes and ears on everything that was going on with a given property.”
