Decision in 30 seconds
Stay on Hootsuite or switch?
Stay on Hootsuite when its lane is your whole job: Enterprise social management and listening. Switch to MarketPounce when that job is one channel among many and the stack around it — enrichment, sequences, SMS, voice, and reviews — should share one lead record and one approval desk. The honest limit: Not an enterprise social listening suite. Limited networks until more adapters ship.

How switching works
From Hootsuite to the growth desk in four steps
- Map the job. Name what Hootsuite owns today — enterprise social — and what sits beside it in your stack.
- Move the lead record first. Hunt and enrich your ICP in Desk so every channel pursues the same accounts, not exported CSVs.
- Rebuild the motion under approval. Recreate sequences, SMS follow-up, and review asks in Growth; approve before anything sends.
- Cancel the overlap, keep the specialist. Retire Hootsuite only where MarketPounce genuinely covers the job — keep it where the honest gap above says we do not.
