City of Hope, Cornerstone Building Brands, Atlas Copco Group, Teranet and ETS honored for turning social data into enterprise-wide strategy, proactive customer care and measurable ROI CHICAGO, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprout Social (Nasdaq: SPT), the AI-powered Social Intelligence Platform, today announced the winners of its inaugural 2026 Social Intelligence Awards , honoring brands and visionaries who have moved beyond basic metrics to uncover deep insights, scale proactive care and drive measurable ROI. The awards recognize five organizations using Sprout Social to turn social data into a tangible business advantage. Winners were recognized across five categories, each tied to a core area of Sprout's AI-powered Social Intelligence Platform : Full-Funnel Social Optimization, Predictive Media Intelligence, Scalable Social Support, Authentic Brand Amplification, and the flagship award, Best in Social Intelligence, incorporating all categories. Using capabilities like Social Listening, Analytics and Engagement, honorees sharpened their strategies, scaled their customer care and extended their brand's reach. “This year's winners show us where social is headed,” said Scott Morris, CMO of Sprout Social. “Each of these teams treated social as a front-line source for understanding and connecting with their customers, not in theory, but in daily practice. They used Sprout's platform and social intelligence to change how their entire organization listens, responds and makes decisions. That's the real story here: when you give teams the right tools, social has the potential to become one of the clearest windows a business has into the people it serves.” Best in Social Intelligence Award – City of Hope City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the country, used social intelligence to build a truly community-driven campaign that resonated deeply with its audience. Their social team used Sprout Social Listening to study what patients, survivors, caregivers and supporters were already saying online. Those findings shaped the City of Hope Line, a campaign that invites the community to record and share their own messages of hope through installations at five physical locations and a phone line. Now in its second year, the campaign has helped City of Hope earn its first-ever social Telly Awards wins and Webby nominations, along with sustained double-digit growth in engagement, reach and video views. That success has carried beyond the social team: departments across philanthropy, thought leadership and internal communications now weave the same social-first insight into their everyday work, making social intelligence a resource the whole organization draws on. “Social intelligence gave us a deeper understanding of what mattered most to our community and helped us turn those insights into meaningful experiences that invite people to connect and share hope. The result is a more audience-centered approach that strengthens how we engage the patients and families we are privileged to serve.” — Nisha Morris, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at City of Hope Precision Impact Award – Cornerstone Building Brands Cornerstone Building Brands runs 35 individual brands, each with its own lean marketing team, and is proving that scale doesn't have to mean slower decisions. Their team centralized reporting across the portfolio using Analytics, Competitor Analysis and Social Listening in Sprout Social, replacing brand-by-brand manual reports with automated, brand-specific insight every team could act on immediately. On Home for Good, Cornerstone's annual affordable-housing campaign with Habitat for Humanity, that insight showed static posts performed best with employee advocates while video and carousel content drove stronger results with external audiences, a finding that reshaped the campaign's content mix. Year over year, campaign impressions grew 122.4% to mo

Since Trellis became available to every Sprout customer in July, teams are using it to turn raw performance data into executive-ready narratives, catch brand risk before it spreads, and route customer feedback to teams outside marketing. Customers including JetBlue and Ipsy say Trellis has cut time spent building reports and monitoring launches from hours to minutes. Trellis Studio, introduced alongside this rollout, gives teams a workspace to build their own AI skill templates, turning recurring work into automated workflows instead of one-off requests. CHICAGO, Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One month after Sprout Social (Nasdaq: SPT), the AI-powered Social Intelligence Platform, made Trellis, its proprietary agentic AI, available to every customer on every plan, a pattern is already emerging: social teams are putting it to work on problems far more complex than simply writing captions. AI in social media has mostly meant one thing so far, and that is generating content faster. Trellis was built to do more. Social teams are stretched thin, juggling tactical requests while being asked to prove strategic value with fewer resources. Now spanning Listening, Publishing, the Smart Inbox and Reporting, Trellis acts as a single intelligence layer across the Sprout platform, designed to handle that repetitive work so teams can focus on campaigns and insights only they can produce. And as audiences grow weary of AI-generated content, Trellis is not simply designed to produce more of it, but to help teams understand the people on the other side of it. That shift shows up first in reporting. At JetBlue, Trellis is turning weeks of performance data into executive-ready summaries. "I was pleasantly surprised by how in-depth and clear Trellis's executive reporting summaries are. It really helped us better understand the numbers and which channels needed work. Overall, it's been extremely helpful in cutting down the time it takes to pull together insights, which is really lovely," said Christina Chew, Social Media Lead at JetBlue. Other teams are pointing Trellis at different problems entirely, flagging unusual spikes in volume or sentiment early, and comparing performance across networks to decide with confidence where to put budget and effort next. At Ipsy, that same intelligence is reaching teams well outside marketing. The company uses Trellis to monitor what its members are saying about new launches, then routes the resulting sentiment and theme analysis to product and care teams. "We consistently use Sprout and Trellis to monitor member feedback, especially around new launches and initiatives. Creating social listening topics and using Trellis to generate executive summaries and sentiment insights has been really helpful for us. We’re excited to see what else it can do," said Stella Hernandez, Program Manager at Ipsy. Trellis can do this because of what it’s built on. Unlike general-purpose AI models, it draws on real-time, native social data across networks, delivering visibility that foundational models lack. Teams that want to go further can now build on that foundation themselves. Trellis Studio, introduced alongside this rollout, lets teams create customizable AI skill templates for their own workflows, so recurring work like tracking a viral trend or summarizing a week of feedback runs automatically instead of starting from scratch each time. "Social teams have spent years being asked to justify a function the rest of the business already depends on," said Scott Morris, CMO of Sprout Social. "Trellis is built to help teams create campaigns that truly resonate, while turning real-time signals from social into intelligence the rest of the business can act on. That's the shift underway across the industry—social moving from a downstream function to a source of strategic direction. A month into making Trellis available to every customer, we're seeing that operationalized across our customer base." Trellis is featured in today’s B

The new integration allows brands to seamlessly plan, schedule, and automatically publish to Snapchat directly from Sprout’s AI-powered Social Intelligence Platform. Social teams can now better leverage Snapchat’s unique high-attention environment to drive organic discovery and cultivate long-term brand affinity. This milestone launch will be featured today during an exclusive panel hosted by Snapchat at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. CANNES, France, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprout Social (Nasdaq: SPT), a leading AI-powered Social Intelligence Platform, today announced the launch of its Snapchat publishing integration. Now available to all customers, the integration enables brands to plan, schedule, and automatically publish Stories and Spotlights directly to Snapchat from Sprout’s platform, strengthening omnichannel execution and expanding reach into one of social media’s most engaged audiences. This milestone launch will be featured at an exclusive panel hosted by Snapchat today at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Driven by frequent, intentional engagement, younger audiences open Snapchat over 30 times a day on average , creating a high-attention environment between brands and a sought-after audience. The new integration offers a more seamless way for brands to connect with engaged communities through Snapchat’s core formats. Spotlight drives algorithm-powered discovery of entertaining short-form content, while Stories enable the candid, time-sensitive storytelling that builds deep familiarity and long-term affinity. "To stay ahead, brands need the infrastructure to show up consistently where their audience's attention lives, without sacrificing efficiency," said Scott Morris, Chief Marketing Officer at Sprout Social. “Snapchat offers brands a unique opportunity to build familiarity within highly engaged communities while also reaching new audiences in moments of discovery. By bringing Snapchat publishing directly into Sprout, we are helping to remove workflow complexity and supporting brands in maintaining a consistent presence across both of those dynamics. That combination of sustained connection and expanded reach helps turn attention into meaningful business impact.” “As the relationship between brands and consumers becomes increasingly dynamic, marketers need new ways to create meaningful connections at scale. We believe the future belongs to brands that earn attention through creativity and cultural relevance, not interruption,” said Grace Kao, CMO, Snap Inc. “Our partnership with Sprout Social is rooted in that vision, helping marketers build stronger relationships with their audiences and drive long-term business impact.” This expanded partnership follows a recent integration of Snapchat to Sprout Social Influencer Marketing. The full suite of capabilities with Snapchat now position marketers to: Streamline Cross-Channel Publishing: Create, schedule, and manage Snapchat Stories and Spotlights directly within Sprout’s central calendar, eliminating the platform shuffle. Scale Content Efficiency: Maintain a consistent 24/7 presence with advanced scheduling while le

New Sprout Social research reveals social media is the first place consumers hear about brand crises and the first place they expect brands to respond in real time CHICAGO, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to new research from Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT), a leading AI-powered Social Intelligence Platform, social media has become the epicenter of modern brand crises, where controversies are first discovered, public opinion forms, and consumers look for brands to respond. Sprout Social's Q2 2026 Pulse Survey finds that when a brand has a controversial moment, social media is the number one place consumers hear about it first, surpassing news articles, friends and family, and the brands themselves. Because consumers first encounter brand controversies on social, they expect brands to address the issues publicly there as well. Nearly two-thirds (64%) say it is important for brands to respond publicly on social media rather than through a press release or website statement, signaling that the traditional crisis communications playbook won’t meet the expectations of audiences today. With crises playing out in real time on social, how quickly an organization responds to a crisis also greatly shapes public perception. In fact, 84% of consumers say a brand's response speed directly affects their view of the crisis. This rapid spread of conversation places increased pressure on brands to deliver swift communication that addresses consumer concerns as they happen. "Brand crises today begin and unfold on social media," said Scott Morris, Chief Marketing Officer at Sprout Social. "The first signals of a reputational threat often appear online long before they make headlines. Social media gives brands a clear look at how people actually feel in the moment, making it one of the most powerful tools for identifying risk, shaping response strategies, and rebuilding trust. The companies that emerge strongest from a crisis are those that use social insights to act quickly, communicate authentically, and make informed decisions before public perception is set." Despite heightened scrutiny on social media, consumers are willing to give brands a second chance when issues are handled effectively. In fact, 51% of consumers would consider buying from a brand within a few months of the crisis being properly addressed, with 20% returning within a few days. The findings indicate that how a brand responds during a crisis can directly impact consumer trust and future purchase behavior, making the speed, channel, and message all critical factors in reputation recovery. Beyond crisis communication, the Q2 2026 Pulse Survey highlights the growing role social plays across the consumer journey: What consumers search for most on social: Consumers turn to social equally to search for product reviews, travel ideas, and news (all 30%), with restaurants and things to do being most searched (38%). YouTube search spans generations: YouTube is the only platform to rank among the top three search platforms across every generation, from Gen Z to Baby Boomers. Live events go social-first: 80% of consumers watch live events through social media, rising to 93% among Gen Z. 'Unhinged' marketing has limits: 47% enjoy bold, humor-driven brand content for fun categories like snacks or gaming, but find it unprofessiona

The next-generation platform is designed to bridge the gap between social data and business action, surfacing real-time market signals from social to inform product development, customer care, and more. Trellis will be integrated across the Sprout ecosystem to uncover insights and improve workflows across Publishing, Listening, the Smart Inbox, and Reporting. Trellis Studio introduces customizable AI workflows that can be tailored to users’ unique goals and operational needs. CHICAGO, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprout Social (Nasdaq: SPT) today announced the unveiling of its AI-powered social intelligence platform, designed to help organizations operationalize real-time, unfiltered market conversations at scale. Central to this launch is the upcoming expansion of Trellis, Sprout’s proprietary agentic AI engine. Purpose-built for social, Trellis will be integrated across the Sprout ecosystem — Publishing, Listening, the Smart Inbox, and Reporting — to help transform fragmented social data into organization-wide action. Available to all customers in July, Trellis will evolve beyond Listening to become a conversational intelligence layer for the platform. By synthesizing social data across networks and combining it with insights from across Sprout, Trellis is designed to help teams ask complex questions and surface relevant, actionable insights faster. This rollout also debuts Trellis Studio, a dedicated environment where organizations will be able to build bespoke AI workflows. Trellis Studio is designed to help teams streamline recurring workflows, so that social intelligence can be tailored to their unique KPIs and operational needs. “Social is the fastest reflection of what people are thinking and feeling, yet most organizations lack the infrastructure to act on that data in real time,” said Scott Morris, CMO of Sprout Social. “What changes with social intelligence is not just access to more data, but the ability to turn that signal into strategic action across the business. When organizations can do that, social moves from a downstream function to the heart of how a business anticipates change and drives growth. In today’s market, failing to act on these signals can create a direct constraint on performance.” The shift toward social-led strategy is fueled by a growing reliance on real-time insights for high-stakes decision-making. Sprout’s latest research reveals that 71% of marketing directors expect social data to surpass traditional market research in shaping enterprise strategy by 2029. However, this evolution demands more than just access to information. It requires a fundamental organizational capability to bridge the gap between insight and execution at a moment's notice. With this launch, Sprout aims to close this gap, providing automation and agentic workflows built to turn signals into action faster across the business. "AI is only as powerful as the data that informs it. Unlike general-purpose models, Trellis is uniquely valuable because of its access to real-time, native social data across multiple networks,” said Srinivas Somayajula, Chief Product Officer at Sprout Social. “When customer sentiment shifts or a competitive threat emerges, organizations cannot afford to miss the moment.

Global study finds 86% of organizations missed opportunities due to delayed or siloed insights, while only 10% can act on real-time data within hours 71% of business leaders predict social data will overtake traditional research in terms of strategic influence by 2029 CHICAGO, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Despite unprecedented access to real-time consumer data, most enterprises are still making decisions at yesterday’s speed. Social intelligence is the key to closing that gap, enabling organizations to capture signals, interpret meaning and act on insights in the moment, grounded in real-time data and market context. New research from Sprout Social finds that while 93% of professionals view social intelligence as critical to future growth, only 10% of organizations can translate those insights into meaningful business action within hours—creating a widening “intelligence gap.” Based on a survey of 700 social and marketing professionals across the U.S., U.K. and Australia, The Intelligence Gap: Why Organizations Are Falling Behind in the Age of Real-Time Insight highlights a growing disconnect between the speed at which insights are generated and the pace at which businesses can act on them. “With nearly six billion users, social media provides businesses with the most immediate, unfiltered view of their customers and the market ever available,” said Scott Morris, CMO of Sprout Social. “Advancements in AI are transforming social from a marketing channel into a source of enterprise-wide intelligence. This shift represents one of the most significant changes for marketers in decades, positioning them at the center of business decision-making. But capturing that value requires fundamental change. Organizations cannot power an AI-driven enterprise with legacy workflows built for a slower, linear era.” This shift in importance is already recognized by the market: 74% of organizations say social intelligence delivers insights faster than traditional research, and two-thirds of professionals believe it will surpass traditional methods in strategic importance within three years. Yet, despite this belief, the report shows that only 10% of organizations can currently act on social data within hours. The inability to move at the speed of the consumer is proved costly, with 86% of professionals admitting they’ve missed potential business opportunities due to delayed, siloed, or underutilized insights. The report identifies that this disconnect isn’t driven by a lack of data, but by how organizations are structured. Social intelligence remains largely confined to marketing, with only 36% of organizations saying it informs decisions in areas like product development or customer experience. At the same time, a disconnect between leadership and frontline teams suggests many organizations overestimate their maturity, creating a false sense of security that masks significant gaps in their ability to act. Closing this gap is emerging as the next frontier of AI success. Organizations today have access to vital social data, and their investments in AI are making it possible to finally utilize these insights with speed and impact. The report makes it clear that unlocking this opportunity requires smart investment and a shift away from legacy w

Despite social’s leading role in news discovery, 88% of people report declining trust in social media news due to the rise of AI-generated content 56% of consumers report seeing “AI slop” often or very often on their social feeds 66% of users are more selective about what they engage with on social than they were a year ago CHICAGO, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to a new study from Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT), an industry-leading provider of social media management and analytics software, social media is now the primary channel for breaking news discovery, overtaking TV, also ahead of podcasts, news apps, and print media. Sprout Social’s Q1 2026 Pulse Survey shows this trend is even stronger among Gen Z, with roughly half (51%) of this generation also wanting news organizations and reporters to be even more active on social. However, the findings reveal a simultaneous rise in skepticism among consumers about the news they see in their feeds. In fact, 88% say AI-generated video tools have eroded their trust in the news they see on social media, with misinformation and “AI slop” (i.e., low-quality AI-generated content) being the top two factors driving skepticism. As a result, two in three social users are now more selective about what content they engage with. As social platforms become the new “front page,” the stakes are rising for publishers, journalists and brands to show up with credible, engaging content that audiences trust. While there is heightened skepticism around the news people see in their feeds, 65% still say their trust in social media overall has remained the same or increased over the past year. Gen Z’s trust has risen the most of any generation (25%), citing improvements in security/privacy, good content experiences and a sense of personal connection and community as the top factors driving that increase. “With audiences turning to social for everything from entertainment and inspiration to news and connection, capturing attention and building trust is more competitive than ever,” said Scott Morris, Chief Marketing Officer at Sprout Social. “The rise of AI-generated content adds a new layer of complexity, but it’s a challenge brands, creators and news organizations can overcome. By utilizing social intelligence, organizations can understand how and where audiences want to engage, show up with authenticity and deliver meaningful content. Those who do can break through the noise and make a real connection with their audiences.” The Q1 2026 Pulse Survey gives clear takeaways on how to build trust and spark meaningful engagement in today’s complex social landscape: Transparency matters : The most common behavior consumers want brands to stop doing in 2026 is posting AI-generated content without clearly labeling it. AI slop has consequences : 50% of Gen Z have already blocked, muted, or unfollowed a brand or creator because their content felt like AI slop. Intentional social use is rising: Consumers’ top social goals for the coming year include self-improvement and learning, as well as using social media more intentionally. “Edutainment” continues to dominate: Content that blends entertainment with educational value remains the
