Winmo's curated articles were always super helpful for prospecting for new business. Their writers were able to perfectly infuse spend insights into articles about new campaigns or brands hiring new marketing executives that could lead to an increase in spending. For us, that's where the value was, having a team proactively thinking about what brands spend money and when they typically spend it. The platform is fine and intuitive enough, especially with their partnerships with GumGum and Kantar, but if they offered a plan with just the WinmoEdge articles, I'd take it over the entire package. We've gone away from them recently for the reasons below but their staff has always been fantastic and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On the news articles, as great at they are, so many other people see them as well so it's not a significant differentiator. Also, if you read a lot of marketing news, you could make the same inferences. Beyond that, they do have contact info for the majority of major companies (definitely all Fortune 500 I would say) but they are not agile enough to add new companies in a timely manner. Most startups, even those that have reached unicorn status, were not in the tool and those were the companies we were most interested in. If you want contacts found, I believe they ask for up to 3 days lead time which is a bit extreme. We opted to not renew because we wanted to look at tools that do a better job uncovering new leads and prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
