Bad software and terrible service **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Sideqik?** Nothing good about it all. Hard to use and when you make a mistake using it they charge you and arm and a leg for not understanding it. Not intuitive at all. Too hard to prospect. **What do you dislike about Sideqik?** The service was not good at all. Nothing good about it all. Hard to use and when you make a mistake using it they charge you and arm and a leg for not understanding it. Not intuitive at all. Too hard to prospect. **What problems is Sideqik solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tried to use it for finding influencers but it had nothing but low level influencers on it. ### 2. Sideqik has changed the way we approach influencer marketing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marissa E. | Digital Strategist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Sideqik?** Sideqik is a fantastic, all-inclusive platform not only for influencer marketing, but for social/digital activations as a whole. They host a wide range of capabilities from influencer sourcing to custom landing pages to providing the ability to understand/tap into the pulse on a specific topic or event. **What do you dislike about Sideqik?** The only function I've ever needed to be more robust was the filtering component when discovering influencers. However, their support team is always willing to help when I have questions and they are always continuing to work to build out and refine those capabilities. Additionally, we're still working together to figure out how to track Instagram Stories and Snapchat Stories from influencers, however Sideqik is not at fault for those challenges. **What problems is Sideqik solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Sideqik, I've been able to identify and secure a more targeted and authentic group of influencers for my activations. I've been able to find influencers of all sizes, search by interests, and really get a sense for their audience demographics, which tells me I'll be reaching my correct target audience. This platform also allows me to holistically track my activations and determine how efficiently my social tactics are performing. ### 3. Easy to use platform for discovering influencers and engaging with them to generate leads **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joey B. | Community Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Sideqik?** Contest feature is built out well and discovery process for influencers is significantly simplified. Onboarding form for prospective influencers is also super helpful and helps streamline the experience. Tracking campaigns is also easy. Company is responsive to feedback and provides support directly to the people interacting with it externally (contest participants, form applicants, etc.) **What do you dislike about Sideqik?** User interface for the admin portal is cluttered and doesn't seem to follow modern design concepts. UI could use some general UX improvements with regards to page loading, pop-ups, etc. **What problems is Sideqik solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sideqik helps feed the top of our conversion funnel by generating a high volume of web traffic and ultimately signups when executing marketing campaigns with influencers such as contests, YouTube videos, streams, sponsored posts, etc. We've seen orders of magnitude improvement on web traffic and signups when executing campaigns via Sideqik. ### 4. Sideqik saved me hours from scrolling through year old social media posts! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alyssa K. | Account Coordinator, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Sideqik?** My favorite thing about Sideqik is how clean the platform is to read when sifting through social media content. The interface seamlessly pulls in posts from influencers and allows me to search for keywords. Searching the content for keywords is EXTREMELY helpful so that I can make sure that my influencer has not worked with a competitor brand. **What do you dislike about Sideqik?** One challenge I have with the platform is sometimes sourcing new influencers. When my client is asking for a very targeted group on influencer, sometimes these influencers do not exist in the Sideqik platform, yet. Luckily I work closely with our account manager and I will let the Sidqik team know when I am having troubles with sourcing influencers and they will help add more influencers into their ever growing database! **Recommendations to others considering Sideqik:** Use all of the features that Sideqik offers! Only recently did my team realize that there are more possibilities to this platform other than just Discovery to help source influencers. **What problems is Sideqik solving and how is that benefiting you?** Primarily we use Sideqik to source and discover new influencers. We work on many projects for our clients and occasionally we add new elements to existing projects and want to hire an influencer to promote our client's brand. Since each influencer promotion is different, we are usually always looking for new influencers and I have realized that Sideqik is a great tool to always find new talent! ### 5.

We have a large and very engaged team -- they would love to dive into Sideqik as well, but we have limited logins available. **What problems is Sideqik solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're solving numerous business problems with Sideqik, from influencer scouting and performance tracking, to campaign communication and quarterly reporting.

Its a positive experience and we would recommend it to many other organisations who need a kickstart in the marketing vertical, or need a one stop shop. **What do you dislike about Sideqik?** We dont have any dislikes against the platform. But as they have grown, their customer base has got a lot bigger and sometimes struggle with load with communications of needs.
