Overall Satisfaction with GRIN

The marketing department of Schell Games uses GRIN as its primary influencer management and marketing platform. We use GRIN to discover, manage, and fulfill influencer marketing activities. Through GRIN, we are able to attract and retain content creators, manage multiple campaigns at a time, use its reporting mechanisms to determine which content creators would be a good fit, and establish KPIs on a per content creator basis.

Would you buy GRIN again?

Yes

When you are looking to implement a full-scale influencer marketing program in-house, GRIN has positioned itself to be one of the leaders in the market. Keep in mind, that it is very high-touch, so the more attention you place on it, the more you will get out of it. If you are looking for one-off influencer campaigns, I wouldn't suggest GRIN, since it is an influencer marketing platform + a CRM where you can nurture and grow relationships with the content creators you work with.

GRIN Support

They are very responsive and provide insight into why they made the decision and how the issue could impact not just you, but other 'GRINners'.
