When Oktopost was founded in 2013, social media was still a question mark in B2B marketing. We saw its untapped potential to drive real business results and built a platform to help marketers turn social into a measurable growth channel.

Oktopost powers social media management and employee advocacy, enabling B2B companies to become truly social organizations. While our social suite enables marketers to manage, scale, and measure social media programs, our Marketing Intelligence solution empowers content and brand teams to build competitive strategies based on market insights.

Trusted by global brands in over 50 countries and fully integrated with the modern marketing tech stack, we’re a dedicated team focused on helping our customers succeed.
