What do you like best about Broadstreet?

The ad formats are distinctive, engaging. The fact that I can make so many ads on my own is fantastic. I use them to pitch sales, augment sales, and impress my clients. I'm in control of the whole process which is great, as we are a small shop. Bonus: they provide excellent reports with graphics - very professional - so we look like pros - and whenever I have a question, they are quick to assist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

There isn't anything I dislike. But there is always room for improvement - as far as the DIY graphic design elements go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Broadstreet:

Give it a try, get the demo, ask a lot of questions, use their DIY ad formats as a sales tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For serious advertisers, we can compete with Google ads and FB ads on value, if not on price. A lot of formats can be further customized, which makes us even more responsive to our customers. The accurate data reporting offers accountability and credibility in the advertising marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadstreet?

Broadstreet provides a suite of options for publishers to accommodate advertisers of all sizes and needs, and detailed, automated reporting on all activities. They are a small team with very engaged support staff, and they made integration absolutely streamlined and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

While asset import is fairly streamlined, there is room for improvement. Ad placement has a small learning curve, and content tagging could be a little more intuitive. That said, it's able to work for most publishers with some tweaks from the broadstreet team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I currently spend 2-3 days per month (10% of my time) pulling reporting on our ad campaigns. Broadstreet is automating this for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadstreet?

The upsides:

Quick human tech support with timely response throughout the conversation either by email, phone, or video meeting.

Over 100 interesting, dynamic ad templates

Automatic, comprehensive reporting sent directly to clients

1-2 ads sold and you break even on monthly fee

Incredible engagement and clicks on some of the ad zones (billboard, pop-out/sneaker, leaderboard)

The amazing cube is a game-changer template.

You can design an ad in the platform and send client an example of the ad, plus a link to preview how it looks on the page (before going live)

This is a bazillion times easier than using Google ads or Adsense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

Downsides (but they won't make me leave):

Learning curve is slow. There is simply too much to learn at one or two onboarding sessions. You think you know it all and then something comes up that is just not intuitive.

It is very hard to explain to potential clients. You almost have to decide which two or three formats to offer to them. It is impossible to say, here are the 109 choices that you have, which one do you want. And there are so many great choices.

Starting/stopping campaigns vs switching out artwork can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadstreet?

Tiffany and the 'Frontdesk' are my go-to! They provide excellent customer support and are super friendly and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

The only thing that I can think of is that there are so many options, I'm sometimes overwhelmed with all the choices I have. But I appreciate that they also help me quickly and in a friendly, supportive way (never making me feel dumb for asking). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can impress prospective advertisers with demos of various ads quickly and easily. I can show prospective advertisers reports that 'wow' them. And I can get ads created or updated in a matter of minutes. We give advertisers better results and quicker response time thanks to what Broadstreet does for us. We couldn't do what we do without Broadstreet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Broadstreet?

The thing I like most is the responsiveness to emails. I'm a small publisher muddling through the advertising sales world, and having someone to ask questions is critical. Also, the system is flexible, intuitive, and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

There isn't a lot I dislike about the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Broadstreet:

Try it out and take one of the little demos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This one is easy: revenue. I"m mostly a publisher, editor, and reporter. I needed something to support ad sales that I could use as a non-specialist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadstreet?

The Broadstreet platform is very intuitive. The learning curve is not steep. And the customer service is excellent. The Broadstreet team responds quickly to both simple queries and complicated technical questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

Nothing really. Perhaps more details related to each ad format — what platforms they work best on, options and controls available on each ad, but it's really very intuitive overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Broadstreet:

I would recommend Broadstreet without hesitation. Their interface is easy to use. They offer a wide variety of ad formats to which my clients have responded positively. And their customer service is very responsive and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed a simple ad server to launch ads on my website, which gets a large amount of traffic for my community. Broadstreet has been that server. Their system is excellent. Ads appear and function perfectly. I am a content guy, not a tech guy, so I had a few hiccups on my end and Broadstreet has been incredibly responsive to every question I've had. Their team and customer service is wonderful. I worried about getting an ad server where I had to wait days for responses if there were questions or technical glitches. But I have no such worries with Broadstreet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadstreet?

Can I choose more than 1? I like the easy functionality of the program and the ads, but also that they can be customized to be more complex if you wish. The service has been exceptional as well whether it be a basic question or much more complex coding to customize an ad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

To be completely honest, I have sat here for a moment or two trying to think of something that could use improvement, but I can't come up with anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Broadstreet:

I have worked with Tiffany in customer support on several different occasions from helping me with some of the basics of creating some ads to custom coding on the amazing cube ads. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and always so kind while helping me with whatever I need, in an expedient yet personally dedicated manner. In my experiences throughout the business world, I will tell you that I think she is a rare find as people who do quality work, make clients feel they are getting personalized attention, and are as pleasant as she has been to me, are very few and far between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My clients are getting fantastic click through rates with the ad templates in place, even better than when they submit an ad of their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadstreet?

When I reach out to our Broadstreet representative, Tiffany, she is always helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadstreet?

I dislike the fact that we cannot schedule campaigns with gaps in between run dates. For instance, if I have an ad that is running every other week, I cannot schedule one week on, one week off, one week on, one week off, etc. I have to schedule a separate campaign for each week the campaign is running. It would be great if we could just click on the dates that we want and leave off the dates that we don't want so that we can schedule campaigns like this further ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to offer a variety of ad options to best suit individual advertisers' needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
