Agency Heritage
Hootsuite has a deep understanding of the needs of agencies and currently has thousands of agency clients worldwide. In fact, the Hootsuite dashboard was originally developed as an internal tool for a digital agency founded by Ryan Holmes, and later spun out as its own company.
"This is a welcome and timely program from a company that understands the needs of network agencies. The Hootsuite Global Agency Partner Program provides valuable support in delivering social programs for clients at the scale and speed of social media," said Christian Purser, chief digital officer, M&C Saatchi.
