ClearView Social

What ClearView Social does

ClearView Social is a privately held SaaS company founded in 2013 that sells an employee advocacy and social media management platform primarily to professional services and B2B organizations. The core product enables employees to share company-approved content on their personal LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X accounts through one-click distribution via email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams, with the stated goal of multiplying brand reach beyond what corporate pages alone achieve. Headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, with origins in the Buffalo, New York ecosystem (incubated at Z80 Labs and backed by Buffalo Angel Network, Rand Capital, and Rochester Angel Network in 2014–2016), the company operates with 11–50 employees and reports a customer/user base of more than 10,000 across legal, accounting, staffing, packaging, and technology verticals.

The platform is organized as a suite of integrated modules: the core Employee Advocacy engine, a Social Media AI layer (PeakTime™ scheduling, Shuffle Content / AI Caption Generator, Virtual Assistant automated posting, Amplification), a Social Media Analytics suite (Earned Media Value calculation, the proprietary SocialScore™ metric, and the Find Out Who lead-identification feature), Corporate Posting for multi-account publishing, Discover Content (Chrome extension, RSS, Google Alerts), Leaderboards & Gamification (powered by a Tremendous rewards integration), and an Enterprise Functionality package (SSO with Azure AD/Okta/OneLogin, RBAC, custom branding, GDPR/CCPA compliance). Integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Canva, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and three SSO providers position the product as a workflow node inside the customer's existing stack.

ClearView Social generates revenue through tiered annual subscriptions (Team, Business, Enterprise) with quote-based Enterprise pricing and multi-year contracts available at the top tier. Its go-to-market blends a product-led acquisition motion (free demo, free trial, self-serve platform access at app.clearviewsocial.com) with sales-assisted enterprise field sales, supported by a content-marketing engine (blog, ebooks, webinars, case studies) and strong presence on third-party review platforms (G2, Capterra, Software Advice), where it held six 2025 G2 category placements and a 4.7/5 Capterra rating from over 10,000 reviewers.

Broad incumbents

• Sprout Social: Mid-market and enterprise social media management suite with publishing, analytics, and employee advocacy capabilities. Direct competitor for marketing-team budgets pursuing employee advocacy alongside broader social workflows.
• Hootsuite: Largest social media management platform, with Hootsuite Amplify offering employee advocacy. Competes with ClearView in the same buyer conversations but operates a much broader portfolio of publishing, listening, and analytics tools.
• HubSpot: CRM and marketing platform with social media tools and a deep HubSpot integration partnership. Bundles adjacent functionality that can substitute for, or absorb, standalone advocacy tools.

Emerging players

• Buffer: Widely used social media publishing tool with limited employee advocacy capabilities. Overlaps in publishing and analytics but is primarily SMB/individual-oriented versus ClearView's B2B focus.

• PostBeyond: Pure-play employee advocacy platform with content curation, gamification, and analytics features overlapping nearly one-to-one with ClearView Social's core offering, targeting similar B2B mid-market and enterprise buyers.
• Oktopost: B2B-focused social media management and employee advocacy platform with strong integrations to marketing automation and CRM systems (Marketo, HubSpot, Salesforce), directly comparable to ClearView's go-to-market.
• Dynamic Signal: Enterprise employee communications and advocacy platform with content distribution, mobile-first sharing, and analytics. Direct competitor in larger enterprise deals, particularly for corporate communications use cases.
• Sociabble: Employee advocacy and internal communications platform with content curation, gamification, and multi-language support. Competes in enterprise deals with similar core use cases.
