Likelihood to Recommend
AdStage
AdStage is great if you're an agency or an in-house marketer managing a lot of ad budget, a lot of campaigns, or a large number of clients and you want to get the day-to-day tasks cleared to focus on higher-brain-stem tasks. Bid and budget management are replaced by rules. Holiday sales are replaced with flighting. All of your team members can log in, access their accounts, set up their reports and have them send to clients without having to lift a finger.

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.

  • The team. They were always super responsive and on the ball with any questions or concerns we had. The customer service was great.
  • General reporting and tieing data together.

  • 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.

AdStage has been great and the only reason we wouldn't renew is if we decided to build this all out internally for API access. But, customer services is great, the product is great and I'd definitely recommend it.

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.

Support Rating
AdStage
AdStage had great support. They got back to me quickly every time, they always had or found an answer for what I was looking for, they took my feedback well, and they were knowledgeable with the platform and any issues I had. I have worked with a lot of other companies that are slow and AdStage definitely isn't one of them.

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.

Return on Investment
AdStage
  • In terms of hours saved, it's hard to pin down, but we definitely spend more time on the meaningful, strategic, or artistic tasks now than we used to.
  • AdStage is also a great tool to roll out during the sales process because our clients love to hear that we're making decisions automatically with data and automation rather than just hiring more junior people to push buttons.
  • During black Friday this year our team all setup campaigns to flight, meaning they weren't sitting around the turkey with their laptops out. That's an ROI in company culture that's hard to measure, but extremely valuable.
