Corporate social media management company Hearsay Social has raised $18 million. The company launched this past February. Hearsay provides franchise companies and businesses with local chapters the ability to monitor social media across the whole organization.

Some of Hearsay’s customers include State Farm, Farmers Insurance Group, and 24 Hour Fitness.
