Our take
Hootsuite is a leading social media management platform that’s been around since the early days of this now ballooning online sector. With over 18M customers, and used by over four fifths of the Fortune 1000 - including major players like Ikea, bumble, and JC Perrault - this giant is hugely competitive in the space. It’s a rapidly-changing market, however, and staying ahead is tough.
A push for acquisitions (including Sparkcentral and Heydey) comes as the company is broadening its remit to help customer service teams manage inquiries. This is an interesting step into a growing sector: customer service is going through a period of rapid development with the progress of chatbots and a major increase in the amount of digital communications.
Hootsuite's plans for an IPO didn't survive the tough economic conditions of 2022, and like many other tech companies it engaged in several rounds of layoffs across 2022 and into 2023, with over a third of its workforce made redundant. Following a change in leadership the company hopes to get back on course as the economy begins to recover.
