Meet Ampersand Social

Ampersand Social is a boutique social media agency that just celebrated its third anniversary. Despite being based on Canada's East Coast — where, as they put it, things can feel "10 years behind Toronto or Vancouver" — they're working at the cutting edge of digital marketing.

But before adopting Sked Social, their workflows looked very different. Multiple schedulers, approvals over email, and a patchwork of client Slack threads. The result? Too much time wasted on admin, not enough on strategy.

The challenge: a fast-growing agency at a tipping point

Like many fast-growing agencies, Ampersand Social was at a tipping point. Their team was juggling three schedulers, two approval tools, and client communications strung across inbox threads. Every new client meant more tool-switching, more admin, and less time on the strategic work that actually drives results.

Sked Social changed the game and became the operational backbone of the agency almost overnight.

How Sked Social became the operational backbone

Consolidating on Sked took a weekend. Client onboarding time dropped. The team now spends the first hour of every Monday on strategy, not tool-switching. Approvals happen inside Sked's no-login review portals — clients open a branded link, approve or comment, and the post ships.

Ampersand's favourite Sked features

What the team uses daily

Four features that earn their place.

  • No-login client approvals

    Send a branded review link to any stakeholder. They click, comment, approve — no Sked account needed.

  • Multi-brand calendars

    One view across 40+ client brands. Filter by account, team member, pillar, or campaign.

  • Brand-Smart AI

    Trained on each client's Brand Kit. First drafts sound like the client, not a template.

  • Cross-channel analytics

    Weekly reports per client, drafted by AI in their brand voice, white-labelled for delivery.
