Hootsuite Acquires Snapchat Analytics Tool From Naritiv
22 March 2017 | 0 comments | Posted by Che Kohler in nichemarket Advice
Hootsuite has shown no signs of slowing down with its 3rd acquisition in as many months. Along with last month’s pickups of ad tech firm AdEspresso and social analytics provider LiftMetrix, this latest purchase helps Hootsuite appeal to large enterprises who focus on millennials.
