CONTENT PUBLISHING

Go beyond scheduling. Scale your brand voice.

USER-GENERATED CONTENT

From social proof to shoppable experiences

Hootsuite lacks native UGC tools. Emplifi gives you the power to discover, secure, and publish authentic customer photos, reviews, and videos across social and eCommerce, building trust and driving sales.

ANALYTICS & ROI

From social metrics to business outcomes

You can’t prove ROI with likes alone. While Hootsuite tracks engagement, Emplifi’s Unified Analytics connects the dots—from content to conversion to care — so you can track what really matters.
