About Us
Our mission: Help social media teams build communities
Our vision: To turn the world's audiences into engaged communities
HeyOrca was founded in 2014 by our Chief Executive Orca, Joe. His boutique social media marketing agency was drowning in spreadsheets, complicated tech, and lengthy email chains.
So he set out to create an all-in-one social media scheduler. After consulting just about anyone in the community who would listen, he settled on the name HeyOrca, a nod to our social spirit and Newfoundland roots.
In the wild, orcas are playful, social, cheerful, and intuitive. Just like us! We're a team (better known as a Pod) of passionate professionals making waves from Canada, Italy, South Africa, and beyond. Our goal? Help social media managers build trust – with teams, communities, and clients.
Today, [heyorca-users-count] social media managers use HeyOrca to create, collaborate, and build communities. HeyOrca is a powerful tool delivered with personalized care (and a whole lot of heart!).
