"TL;DR - It's good!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CreatorIQ?

I have to say that I really appreciate the online knowledge portal articles. CreatorIQ is a MASSIVE CRM tool, and with there being so many different ways to move data or set up lists/campaigns, you NEED to use the knowledge portal. Our success manager is incredible and very prompt with any issues/questions as well. I personally use CIQ every day, and it helps for any influencer related asks I get from various departments daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CreatorIQ?

Our onboarding experience with CreatorIQ left much to be desired. With a massive tool such as CreatorIQ, efficient and accurate initial setup is critical. We did not get that unfortunately, but now I can say we're in a place where it works well for our use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear the knowledge portal is helpful and that CreatorIQ supports with reporting on influencer campaigns.

"Great for identifying and vetting creators."

4/5

What do you like best about CreatorIQ?

The most helpful functions of CreatorIQ are the analytics portions. I can quickly determine if a creator would be a good fit for my target audience with audience ranges and demographic info. I will also often like for the creators I find to have engaged communities and the engagement rate analytics help to determine this as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CreatorIQ?

Messaging creators that have managers is the most difficult part. If we are told later on in the message flow that they would like their manager involved in the conversation as well, the conversation is no longer able to held on a continuous chain within the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great end-to-end creator management solution"

4/5

What do you like best about CreatorIQ?

CreatorIQ is an all-in-one tool that lets us manage campaigns from start to finish, and do so more efficiently and sophisticatedly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CreatorIQ?

There are small nuances I've noticed could be improved. The content review module is a little bit clunky, and our clients have shared that sentiment. It's also not ideal that the platform uses an engagement rate formula based on follower count in the discovery tab, but encourages clients to calculate it based on impressions/views as an industry best practice. It's also taken a little bit of time to get the hang of, because there is so much to it - we felt we needed to review a few things after our onboarding sessions were completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CreatorIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our agency wanted to streamline and standardize our influencer marketing process, and CreatorIQ has helped in each of those facets. It's great to be able to use One-Sheets as a template for presenting influencer recommendations to clients, and having creators upload drafted content themselves has saved our team time that would've been spent indexing the content. We're also able to share results that will update in real-time, for better reporting through the entire campaign without adding additional team time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
