Bottom line

Sprout Social Employee Advocacy, formerly Bambu, is an add-on for teams already on Sprout Social: admins curate content, employees share it from a feed, newsletters, Slack or a mobile app, and results come back as earned media value and UTM tracking. It needs Sprout's Standard plan or higher, from $199 per seat a month billed annually, plus the unpublished add-on price.

Stands out for: Content moves straight from Sprout's publishing workflow into advocacy with Send to Advocacy, so the social team does not manage a second tool, and dedicated iOS and Android advocacy apps serve employees. Sprout pitches it for attracting talent as well as sales leads, without raising ad spend.

Watch out for: You must already pay for a Sprout Social plan, and the add-on price is not published. Sprout's AI features are documented for its core plans, not for advocacy specifically.

Overview

Sprout Social Employee Advocacy is the US social media company's advocacy add-on, previously sold as Bambu. Its mobile app is listed as Advocacy by Sprout Social.

Admins curate on-brand content, often pushed straight from Sprout's Compose workflow with Send to Advocacy, and organise it with tags. Employees find stories through My Feed, newsletters, Slack and mobile alerts and share them to their own networks.

Reporting calculates earned media value, the paid media that employee shares replace, and UTM parameters tie shares to sales and engagement. Sprout's product page names talent pipeline as a goal alongside lead generation.

The add-on is available on Sprout's Standard plan and up. Standard is $199, Professional $299 and Advanced $399 per seat a month billed annually, and the add-on itself is quoted.
