Opmerkingen: CSR [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has made Story very user-friendly. They are both very knowledgeable, helpful, and nice to deal with.

Pluspunten: CSR are very nice to deal with. Always friendly and answer countless questions.

Minpunten: That you cannot bulk upload zip codes for targeting

Antwoord van de leverancier

Hi Heather,

Thank you for your feedback! Bulk zip code upload is a great idea and we'll definitely pass along this feature request to our product engineers.

And we're very happy to hear you are enjoying your experience working with your account reps!

Opmerkingen: Their support team has been great to work with. We are generating travel inspiration through our campaigns run by Story.

Pluspunten: The ability to optimize across multiple native vendors.

Minpunten: There needs to be an easier integration with a Nielsen or other third party research arm in order to measure the true effectiveness of your advertising campaigns. Native advertising is often higher in the funnel, and there for you need other means to measure the effectiveness in order to avoid any potential cancellations from the client

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoy working with our support team.

Opmerkingen: We utilize Story for native distribution. When compared to other partners on the program, we noticed that Story "blasts" impressions reaching a potentially 'unqualified' audience. To avoid this, we count 'clicks' as a measure of impression to ensure they are qualified. Other than systemic differences, Story is a unique platform and account managers/customer service has recently been reliable and trustworthy (though in the past this was not the case).

Pluspunten: Dashboard provides easy access to data and overall performance

Minpunten: Dashboard is not user-friendly/hard to navigate

Antwoord van de leverancier

van PulsePoint op 18-12-2018

Thank you for your feedback! Story is a content marketing platform focused on user engagement. Given this, we only track and optimize to actions taken, such as clicks and page views. We measure engagement once a user has landed on the page to guarantee a qualified audience.

Opmerkingen: My account reps are absolutely amazing and make every effort to accommodate my needs which has made for a wonderful experience over the past year and a half.

Pluspunten: It allows my small team to function at the capacity of a larger agency.

Minpunten: I really need to distribute in-feed video. Also, more platforms need to be integrated such as youtube and pinterest.

Hi Douglas,

Pluspunten: Easy to navigate. High-level views

Minpunten: See above. I want to know how people found my content by channel. Cost & spend per piece? Data seems like it's off. Right now we lost all our content data prior to Jan 2016. Social shares seem inaccurate.

Opmerkingen: A great platform with room for improvement, but the foundation is clearly there.

Pluspunten: I like that it is easy to access, and everything is laid out in a visually pleasing manner.

Minpunten: Beyond the surface level data there is a lack of depth to the data, I would love additional variables to mess with and garner insights from.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your feedback! Other users have also expressed wanting to see more insights, and we listened!

Pluspunten: Through this software, my company has been successful in reaching a new audience and also gaining new users. The ads typically perform well across all of our eight brands.

Minpunten: I wish the reporting was a little better. I wish you can export the whole campaign broken out by day instead of the current limit of ten days.

Hi Savannah,

Opmerkingen: We wanted to generate brand awareness and leads. We did the former but failed at the latter. The account team at Story gave us high expectations of the number of leads we would get and it was not successful. If we have more budget to work with maybe we'd try again with some different types of campaigns.

Pluspunten: It is a great concept and a good way to test promoting content across many channels in one campaign

Minpunten: I expected more input and expertise from the team running our campaign. They seemed to be looking to us to tell them what to do. I expected that they would have more strategic guidance and insight for us based on their experience with similar campaigns.

Antwoord van de leverancier

van PulsePoint op 12-6-2019

Hi Irene,

Thank you so much for your feedback! We always aim to support our clients and deliver on campaign KPIs to the best of our abilities, and for this we're sorry to hear you did not get the results you hoped for. However, we are glad to hear that we were able to drive awareness for your brand, as this is our main strength as a top-funnel solution. With that said, if you would give us another chance, we'd love to work with you again!

Pluspunten: Overall ease of use, multiple creatives can be created quickly, multiple inventory sources available, test/optimize automatically

Minpunten: Further geographic granularity would be great, but I understand that is difficult, also helping with Facebook's editorial standards would be helpful as well, but again, understand this is a difficult ask.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your feedback. The Story platform actually is able to target down to the ZIP on some channels.
Please, work with your Account Manager to see if this is a viable option for your campaign.

Pluspunten: It is fairly self explanatory, and wasn't too difficult to learn how to use. Sometimes I have questions on certain features, but Pulse Point staff is extremely helpful in getting me answers.

Minpunten: Once you submit creatives you can't really edit them without pausing the current one and creating a new one. It would be so much easier to be able to edit one that is already created.

Hi Brooke,
