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

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

Cons: That you cannot bulk upload zip codes for targeting

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

Pros: The ability to optimize across multiple native vendors.

Cons: 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

Comments: 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).

Pros: Dashboard provides easy access to data and overall performance

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

Vendor Response

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.

Comments: 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.

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

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

Comments: Features are OK but limited. More things that would be helpful (what channels did they come from) Data doesn't seem accurate across many areas (our demographics and geographic seem way off)

Pros: Easy to navigate. High-level views

Cons: 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.
