“Owned and earned content are not going away but the augmentation with paid is critical to success,” Ryan Holmes, Founder and CEO of Hootsuite, said in an interview. “The trend with the algorithmic ranking of content and what you see in your stream means it’s not the same world it was five years ago. Every social network and stream have filtration, so for brands to get their message across they need to have that paid component.”
“Social advertising has become a vital aspect of marketing; companies are looking for ways to reach an active, engaged audience while getting more mileage from content and advertising spend,” said Holmes. “With AdEspresso, we’re bringing our users a simple, powerful, battle-tested solution that delivers measurable ROI.”
AdEspresso by Hootsuite makes it easy to create, analyze, and optimize your Facebook and Instagram advertising. It’s designed—and priced—specifically for small and mid-sized organizations.
