Nonprofit business Serengetee.com launched when a few friends got together in a college dorm room in the spring of 2012. They had the idea of supporting communities around the world by sourcing fabrics made by local artisans for t-shirts and donating five percent of profits to local causes. With no marketing budget, founders looked to social media, and specifically Hootsuite, for help with customer outreach and brand development.

Hootsuite helps me manage social media, especially while on the road. I am able to schedule tweets for weeks in advance, to help continually build a fan base while I don’t have access to the internet.
