    Zerys
    I sold a few inbound marketing contracts with the expectation that I could find writers for the project on Zerys. We were looking for good writers that can understand the tone and branding of our business and after a few trials with some of the writers at Zerys, I finally found the one that understood us and then created amazing content in no time.

    Zerys
    • There are instances where the writers don't understand the article to be written and don't give you the content you are looking for.
    • The auto reporting feature needs some work. Too many email alerts and no option to change that.
    • Hard to find good writers. Often writers only loosely follow directions so you end up reworking their content anyway.

    We have choosen OpenText WEM against other vendors because : 1. Helped client reinforce brand image
    through unique design language and templatization of collaterals, consistent
    messaging, and regular competitor benchmarking. 2. Enables lead generation through
    high-quality gated collateral, product videos, etc. 3. Senior management and sales lead meet
    client regularly for project review meetings and feedback on engagement

    Zerys
    Access to many freelancer writers covering a wide range of topics and the relative ease with which you can manage the writing and editing process with a freelancer writer is good. I believe Zerys has acquired a talented group of writers that are well-versed in a diverse number of topics. Zerys is reliable, and the customer service response is fast, which I greatly appreciate. I do not believe Zerys' interface is as simple as it could be, however.

    Zerys
    • Zerys has allowed us to grow our linkbuilding campaigns much more quickly than we would if we tried to create all of the content in-house.
    • We save so much time hiring outside writers to write content rather than writing it ourselves.
    • We are able to take on more projects than ever because we can rely on Zerys' writers to get things done on time.
