Presentation

What if companies had informed, engaged, and influential employees sharing their experiences across social media?

This is the challenge that Sociabble has been addressing since 2014 by launching a SAAS platform for internal communication, employee advocacy, and employee engagement. We wanted to reconnect and reengage employees so that they can share a common vision with their company.

8 years later, Sociabble is used in more than 180 countries and by international industry leaders such as Coca-Cola, L'Occitane, Primark, Publicis Groupe, Criteo, and Vinci Energies.

Sociabble was founded by two true pioneers of the Internet, Jean-Louis Bénard and Laurent Gauthier. Entrepreneurs and investors for more than 25 years, they built the company by using the best practices of SAAS organizations while developing a strong bootstrapping culture. Sociabble is often identified by software analysts as one of the best solutions on the market today.
