Great test!

Great, hands-on help and team reporting. Overall, a really great test for native. Looking forward to hopefully testing again next year!

PROS

Simple interface, easy to customize dates and drill down to creative level.

CONS

Not a ton really wrong with it, at least for what we used it for.

A marketing success story

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Vendor Response

Hi Savannah, Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it! We are looking into building out additional reporting capabilities when it comes to daily exports. Stay tuned for more updates from your Account Manager! -Story Team

Review

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

Vendor Response

Hi Jonathan, Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoy working with our support team. Our newest feature, On-page Actions, helps marketers track users further down the funnel. Please reach out to your Account Manager for more information on how you can set this up. -Story Team

YoY Improvements

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. -Story Team
