AdEspresso by Hootsuite vs. Bizo / LinkedIn Lead Accelerator (Discontinued)

[AdEspresso is] great if you have a smaller budget or are just getting started with Facebook advertising. You can easily create ads and publish them in minutes after everything is set up for your account. I would recommended trying it if you don't have a lot of experience, but not to manage a large account with multiple clients (10+)

In my opinion, LinkedIn Lead Accelerator is very well suited for B2B companies that want to target their B2B clients. If the company is B2C oriented, it would be pretty expensive for them to find and acquire sufficient amount of clients, it is better to use other platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter.

• It auto-populates the application forms with information from users’ LinkedIn profiles and allows them to instantly submit those forms thereby saving us time in gathering the additional information.

Incentivized

• It is a bit limited in features, for example can't do everything that you can do in Facebook's Business Manager
• There are certain levels, depending on budget, so you'll have to pay more to use it the higher your budget is
• Could use an update for Lead Ad creation, found it very tough and couldn't get things to synch correctly.

• As an integration partner the only challenge we faced was coordinating our strategic services teams to provide a single recommendation/plan to mutual clients. This was easily addressed through a communication plan agreed to by both parties.

I am using them as a customer rather than a partner at my new company, Poppin. We are are marketing to B2B prospects and customers and see Bizo as a key partner.

I find it a lot more detailed in creation and ad reporting, but not very user friendly or helpful if you encounter an error or something happens that needs to be fixed. AdEspresso [by Hootsuite] is better if you want an easier experience and less to look at while you're creating your ads.

They (Bizo) were able to reach actual business prospects as opposed to others that reached more consumer prospects. As a result, our ROI is much better.

• They have helped us greatly in lead generation for internal marketing efforts
• Big focus on lead generation for clients, have helped sell dozens of homes for them!
• Engagement and lead gen saw a big increase while using AdEspresso

Incentivized

• With LinkedIn Lead Accelerator we've found a pretty good amount of qualified leads
• It saves a lot of time when you can do such a detailed targeting
• Although the LinkedIn Lead Accelerator prices are quite high, we had a positive ROI
