Overall Satisfaction with ion interactive, by ScribbleLive
The marketing department uses Ion new content creation. We use Ion to measure engagement with our content, make our content more dynamic and targeted, and improve the content we offer through A/B testing. It can be tricky to measure how well a piece of content meets our audience's needs, switching from static PDFs to Ion has been very helpful in this respect.
- The online chat support is very well done. Every time I've had a question or hit a roadblock, the chat has answered my question quickly
- The quick start templates are extremely helpful, especially as a starting point which are then customized.
- I wish it was easier to access the training videos. A lot of the "how-to" information is in those videos rather than the support documents, but you have to request access to the training videos which are then only accessible within a specific timeframe.
- Version control (which I believe is coming) and/or locking a creative would be very helpful, especially as more than 1 person edits a creative during the content creation process.
- We've been able to measure engagement within content published on Ion that shows that people who interact with the content are more likely to reach the end of the content and more likely to convert.
We have been using Ion as a step in a buyers journey workflow, so often the steps move from Ad to Ion Content to Our Website. For this reason, I needed to make sure I preserved tracking originally on ads through Ion content, to our website. I was trying to append URLs in a way that would pass a query string along and was struggling to make it work. I opened a chat query and within 10 minutes I had the answer I was looking for, implemented.
I haven't had a lot of experience with templated CMS systems and was not involved in the original selection, though I was part of the renewal discussions. Most of the templates I've used have been html and created in house on an as-needed bases.
