Overall Satisfaction with Sysomos Expion
Expion is being used across eight of the Hanesbrands brands.
Expion is our go-to vendor for Social Media Platform. Each of our brands has multiple agencies and the Expion Platform allows one central area for all agencies to manage their posts, and gives management oversight into what each brand/agency is posting, performance, schedule and benchmark the data.
Several of our agencies use the library to share social assets. Each brand/agency can only see the brand for which they are responsible and mgmt can see everything.
Expion helps ensure best practices are being implemented across brands.

Expion helps ensure best practices are being implemented across brands.
- The calendar view of posts is a plus for managing multiple social pages.
- The ability to monitor competitive brands in the advanced analytics section has been very informative.
- The Library is a great place to share assets amongst teams or cross-functional agencies.
- The ability to post in different languages and utilize globally.
- We use the App builder regularly, and I'd like to see more flexibility in some aspects of the current templates.
- For example: Some times we do not want email selection to be mandatory and in some templates there is no option to change.

- Social has a HALO effect for our business and ROI is not the primary KPI. However, it has been identified as a MUST HAVE in budget planning each year.
We have used Buddy Media and Vitrue (Oracle) in the past and once we found Expion have not considered going back.
Customer service is key to our relationship with Expion and they provide the best levels I have experienced.
I cant say enough about how available they are and proactive to help with any scenario for reporting or creating apps I may encounter.

Sysomos Expion Implementation
Change management was minimal
- None -- our biggest challenge was making it use mandatory for all agencies/marketers.
