Helps me track what is happening in the field and where people are spending money, products purchase

Help me to be a better sales person and see the wants/needs of current and potential advertisers

PROS

Able to determine where/which products are being purchased and the frequency. See who is spending with the competition and how often.

CONS

Some of the reports are hard to manage. I have a hard time figuring out which areas to click to get the most accurate information I need to help generate reports

MediaRadar is an invaluable resource for ad sales activity. Contact information is great to have!

PROS

The most valuable information is contact information, including email addresses and phone numbers. We all know ad sales is a numbers game and MediaRadar enables you to send out emails to multiple contacts on the same account, so you're virtually sure to get a response from someone to initiate a conversation!

CONS

I would like more information on the target audience. Currently MediaRadar provides an income target but not much more.

Terrible Product - under delivers on every level.

Terrible. Zero ROI. Unhelpful customer service team. When asked to get out of the contract early because the platform is pretty useless, we received abusive and aggressive emails from their 'legal' and collections team.

PROS

Nothing about it met our expectations. They over-promised during the sales process - the platform does not come close to doing what we need it to do, data-wise.

CONS

1. The data is out of date and most contacts are not valid. 2. Sale team reported numerous issues with quality.

Has helped me generate leads and new business for our company, cannot say enough good things.

Lead generation, new potential prospects, and several closed won deals

PROS

Insight into advertising trends year over year, not just the current issue of what is running. I also appreciate that you can hunt by vertical and by territory, as our organization must use both in our sales approach

CONS

Sometimes I do not feel like I understand the full scope of the capabilities, more trainings and such would be nice.

The software works well

PROS

Seeing the issues in our competitive set is helpful because It allows us to see where our target accounts are running

CONS

Contacts are not updated frequently which is the main reason we utilize this software. Without this, there is not much reason for us to use this program

I use MediaRadar on a very consistent basis and find it extremely helpful and easy to use .

I use the software to get information about brands and their advertising trends, spend, etc. I also use it to get contact information from various brands to use for my outreach.

PROS

I like the ease of finding information about brands and companies such as media spend, area of spend, etc. I also love the Power Reports feature. It makes it easy to filter results based on what I'm looking for.

CONS

There are a lot of things I like about the software, and not much I don't like. The only issue I run into is the database not having contacts for certain brands sometimes.

Simple and easy to user UX/UI that allows me to quickly find contacts and spending habits of clients

PROS

Contact list is up to date. Digital spending is broken up into direct and programmatic which helps in identifying brands to go after.

CONS

Honestly, there is nothing that I believe needs to be immediately fixed or resolved. Just continue to evolve the product and ability to capture accurate spends across digital, video, social, and native.

Prospecting and finding insider info and contacts.

PROS

MediaRadar is great for prospecting, finding insider information, and identifying potential clients that are actively running campaigns in the competitive set.

CONS

I wish contact were more widely available across accounts and running creative was more accurately reflected.

It's definitely a very user Friendly Product, which is indeed extremely important...!

Since the beginning stages of using the product all of our Reps Nation Wide have increased their sales, & it is indeed a direct result from having this product as a Sales Tool, & it's well worth the Money.

PROS

It's certainly a Quality Product & the Customer Support behind it is outstanding...!! We've been using the Product for about 2 years now, & it has helped us tremendously & I have increased my Sales efforts as a direct result from using the Product.

CONS

It's a bit costly, but in the long run, it's well worth the Money...! When out Team first put out the money for the program we were not sure if we could justify the cost, but now we are realizing the cost was definitely worth it, & the results are the proof...!

Prospecting

I use the software a lot and an comfortable using it. It’s helped me to open doors and start conversations. Plus its gives me confidence that I have the background info to show prospects I’ve done my homework and ask meaningful questions.

PROS

MediaRadar is easy to use. I like The tearsheets option. It helps me a lot to see examples of creative running with competitors. And the Perfect Pitch feature gives me a quick understanding of the prospect and what they’ve done.

CONS

Contacts aren’t always there but the “request a contact” button is there to help.

Reliable, Quick "Go-To" for Account Review and Contacts

Great customer service and ease of us. Most major tourism boards are in there and also many CVB are represented as well.

PROS

I use MR daily for contacts, competitive spending and new business prospecting. It is very easy to run reports and save them in excel for going back at a later date to reach out to.

CONS

As with all databases, it is difficult to keep up to date on the fast moving changes of contacts. Maybe there could be a way for UGC and input for changes.

PROS

Contact info; competitive spending for print and digital; able to see creative; insight info to use for proposals

CONS

Liked the old format where (on print) you could see creative and where it ran - easier to view. Also liked it better when viewing where ads were placed it showed inside competitive set and outside - now I am seeing just one report.

MR is a great resource, I use it nearly every business day. Staff is very responsive, when needed

PROS

If researching print, MR is very reliable. The list of companies measured is impressive. Overall the software is fairly easy to use.

CONS

I often find contacts are not up to date, which I understand may be tough to do with a dynamic industry. Also, the online data is also not very reliable and does not offer a complete picture of what a marketer may be doing in the marketplace.

Many benefits like looking at our competitors pages and having an organized system. i also really love how you can view suggested companies and the pitch is awesome too.

PROS

I love how all the companies working with our competitors are laid out in front of you. It makes it so easy to prospect.

CONS

A suggestion would be to make it easier to print an ad. It is hard to print an ad after you click into it.

Fabulous, fast, invaluable daily resource

PROS

Ease and speed are the two main things that come first to mind. It is very intuitive. I enjoy working with this software on a daily basis. Thanks!

CONS

The only cons I would have likely reflect more on my team, such as accounts that are not assigned to the correct person. Again, that is not really a reflection on the software.

I found MediaRadar to be very helpful in identifying key prospects in my categories and territory

The information provided by MediaRadar helps identify key prospects and the current activity of those prospects as well as tips for pitching programs to these companies.

PROS

The software is easy to use, responsive and moves quickly. I'm able to pull up Power Prospecting Reports that are comprehensive and assist when planning my sales trips during the year. It's helpful to see the ads that are featured in the competitor's magazines.

CONS

Sometimes I have trouble finding specific information for accounts. My company might want to consider paying for information about digital program as well as the print programs.
