MADISON, WI – Shoutlet®, the leading cloud-based self-serve social marketing platform, today announced it has raised $15 million in Series C funding from FTV Capital, a growth equity investor focused on high growth businesses with innovative solutions. This round brings Shoutlet’s total funding to $24.2 million in outside investment.

Shoutlet is the most sophisticated and comprehensive self-serve platform available to create, publish, and measure social marketing campaigns and activities on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Its enterprise-level functionality, Social CRM intelligence gathering and segmentation capabilities, trigger-based campaign publishing, world-class design tools for Facebook pages and web apps, and ROI-focused analytics differentiate Shoutlet from all other social management tools.

With the financing, Shoutlet will accelerate product innovation, grow its strategic partner network, and increase staff across all departments, including expanding account management and technical support offices in San Francisco, New York, and London.

In recent months, Shoutlet has added global brands including Canon, Nokia, Wrangler, K-Swiss, NASCAR, Fairmont Hotels, and Sandals Resorts to its roster of more than 400 customers who manage 6000+ accounts in 50 countries. Year over year revenue growth now exceeds 200%.

“The way brands and agencies manage social marketing is changing rapidly. For the first time, marketers can easily utilize a self-serve platform with power and flexibility not easily accessible via service-based tool vendors. The wave of customers making the change to in-house management has exceeded our wildest expectations and has validated our do-it-yourself model,” said Shoutlet CEO Jason Weaver. “This funding will enable Shoutlet to innovate at an even faster pace and aggressively expand our product offering to meet the needs of sophisticated marketers who desire a more rapid response form of social media management.”

“FTV has been an active investor in the digital marketing space, and we found Shoutlet to be far and away the strongest platform for sophisticated marketers to run their own campaigns. Shoutlet’s self-serve model, product innovation, and high customer satisfaction and retention rates combine to uniquely position the company as a leader in the SMMS category,” said Liron Gitig, FTV Capital principal and new Shoutlet board member. “To FTV’s strategic investor network including many global financial institutions, Shoutlet’s permission-based, governance approach to enterprise management is extremely attractive. We’re confident the strength of the Shoutlet leadership team, vision, and long term product roadmap will ensure tremendous and sustainable growth.”
