Supported Networks
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Google My Business

Cost for an agency with 35 clients: $824/mo
White Labeling?

Key Features
Cloud Campaign was built from the ground up for marketing agencies so there are a lot of key features that set it apart from the competitors.
Separate Brand Workspaces
With Cloud Campaign, each client gets their own workspace, which completely mitigates the risk of ever posting the wrong content to the wrong brand. Also, this allows you to add your clients to their own workspace so they can upload content, manage their community, and view analytics in real-time.
Content Approvals
Clients no longer need to log in and learn a new system. You can simply send a mobile-friendly link that your clients can use to request edits and approve content. And the best part? It’s completely white-labeled!
Client Reports
Generate monthly reports with a single click and share them in a format that works best for your clients. Cloud Campaign makes this simple by offering white-labeled reports as PDFs, a shareable link, or a CSV file.
You can even include ROI metrics and ad campaigns.
Social Inbox
Work together as a team to handle comments, mentions, and replies on social media in one unified inbox. You can task messages out to your team or clients, collaborate using internal comments, respond publicly on social media, and best, archive the message when you’re done.
