SAN DIEGO, Jan. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SOCi, Inc. ("SOCi"), the premiere social media management platform for multi-location businesses, announced today a partnership with Bridgeline Digital ("Bridgeline") to deliver single-sign-on social media management solutions for their national and franchise brand clients.

Bridgeline's award-winning digital marketing platform, iAPPS, provides thousands of companies with digital marketing functionality including marketing automation, web content management and eCommerce. Bridgeline sought to add deeper social media management capabilities to complement this suite of digital marketing products.

After extensive research and head to head comparison of multiple social media platforms, Bridgeline chose to partner with SOCi as their social media management platform provider. "There are literally dozens of social media tools available in the marketplace, but when it comes to serving the multi-unit and franchise space, SOCi is the clear winner," said Becki Dilworth, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Bridgeline.

"The social media landscape has changed, and long gone are the days when Brands only need to manage their one or two social media pages; they now have hundreds or thousands of affiliate or franchise pages, managed by an equal number of individuals, each representing their brand to the public," said SOCi CEO, Afif Khoury. "This creates a massive workflow problem that yesterday's platforms are simply not equipped to handle. That's exactly why we built SOCi."

Bridgeline has already rolled out the SOCi platform to more than 3,000 brand locations and looks to deliver the solution to additional clients in the near future.
