    DemandScience
    Demand Science did deliver the quantity of leads without issue. The data for a few was not accurate (bounced when following up). But they agreed to make good by providing substitute leads to meet the quota. Towards the end of my project, they lost a few folks, and so the end of my campaign got a little rough as they were taking over some assignments midway. But we ultimately completed the SOW. I will say that the leads did not perform well in our email cadence - none converted. However, this was a test of the concept for us. Content syndication had a lower cost per qualified lead than some other tactics, so we tested it. Your results may vary, based on your follow-up and your market.

    UpContent is effective for helping you:
    • Gather information several different content sources
    • Leverage curated content with social media, email newsletters, and on your website to help you provide audiences with important information
    • Curate content topics by vertical for use in ABM -- you can give reps topic hubs to keep themselves up-to-date. Plus, it's a great way for them to find content to use as "conversation starters with their prospects.
    I love that UpContent integrates with HubSpot, Rasa.io, SocialBee and other tools that we use on a daily basis.

    Pros
    DemandScience
    • The initial pitch and contact from Mason used "show me you know me" well, which we felt was a good sign of company culture and approach to database marketing.
    • Delivery of leads was ahead of schedule.
    • They set expectations, and then delivered what they said they would.
    • The leads matched our criteria as agreed.
    • Regular check ins and catch ups, and patience when thing were taking a bit of time to get sorted here.

    Cons
    DemandScience
    • We would like to see more proactive communication on what's working and what's not without requiring a meeting - regular reporting cadence to assess asset quality
    • A dashboard view might be nice as well, again, so we can look at an asset and see how it's performing (or if it isn't) without having to wait on a rep to pull a report or schedule a walkthrough

    • I'd like an option to use UpContent to curate content into a blog post -- to make it easy to do "news round-up" type posts.

    Our executives decided to not renew because we were not seeing the ROI they were looking for. However, our executives did not make the best decisions on the data Demand Science provided.

    Usability
    DemandScience
    The leads were pretty straight forward. However, their appointment setting did not integrate well into our system and many of the meetings didn't occur. I had to chase a lot of prospects and many times Demand Science didn't provide direct dials.

    Our rep is always available and quickly responds to any question we have. I haven't worked with other partners who are as proactive and excited to help us as our DemandScience rep is. He reaches out with new ideas and suggestions frequently. They are happy to make any changes needed to the campaigns and make those changes quickly and efficiently. They work well with our execution agency, but are also happy to meet with us directly to provide insights and support.

    They did extremely well. However, our executives did a poor job in defining our ICP so we didn't get the maximum benefit out of it.

    I've not used another content syndication company, and I probably won't after the lack of results we've had. I have used direct email organizations, and they are stronger but also more expensive, so you have to weigh your priorities. I could see if you were selling a specific product or software and how this could be beneficial, but I'd steer away from it for services.
