Overall Satisfaction with Khoros Marketing (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)

Currently, CMT is just using the Experiences tool. We're using it for shoppable Instagram pages and getting ready to leverage the poll/live vote capabilities.
  • The interface is pretty intuitive and easy to use.
  • There are so many great visualizations available in Experiences that we're continually finding new uses.
  • The team at Khoros is super responsive and great about educating/training us on the tools or giving advice on specific activations we're trying to execute.
  • While for the most part, we're enjoying using Experiences we have had several bugs or glitches. We've had instances where we couldn't link products to our content and other times when the streams weren't being pulled or showing up within the interface. These inconsistencies do make it a little worrisome when we have something needing to go live immediately and aren't always sure if it will work as it should.
I think it could help our organization in a number of ways if we're able to expand to more tools within their portfolio. It's really the cost that's holding us back because we are such a small team.
Social at CMT, like many other companies, is becoming increasingly important. Many of our shows survive and thrive because of their fans so it's critical to get the word of mouth loud and strong.
It's allowed us to better connect our Instagram community to all of our other content sources with the shoppable pages. IG has one of our most engaged fan bases so it's been a great tool in expanding how we can engage with them and give them access to all of our content and news.
I think Khoros and Sprinklr are the two top tools from my evaluations in this role and in my previous role at Mattel.
If you're looking for ways to visualize your data or content, the experience is a fantastic tool. We haven't used any of the other tools so I can't speak for those.

Khoros Marketing (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium) Implementation

No, I think they did a great job with on-boarding us to Experiences and we've been very happy with the individual coaching/training sessions we've had with Nicole at Khoros.

Khoros Marketing (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium) Support

The coaching team is fantastic! Customer service, when we have issues, could be a little faster but they have been able to help.

Using Khoros Marketing (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)

As I said earlier, I think the interface is intuitive and pretty easy to use/learn.
