What do you like best about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

Without NewsCred we would have never been able to pull off a cohesive, thoughtful, or useful content marketing strategy for our organization. They roll up their sleeves and get to work quickly by immersing themselves in your business/industry and act as members of our team with first-hand subject matter knowledge that quite often is very hard to come by. Their ability to generate relevant and timely content in a variety of verticals and market sectors is second to none. Moreover, they possess the technical prowess to build whitelabeled blog sites in a very short amount of time and integrated seamlessly with our web team to get the site up and live quickly and efficiently, even when faced with corporate layers and red tape. They iterate quickly, loop in the right people at the right times, and keep you up-to-date with clear, consistent, and continued communication and frequent status meetings. They work well with other partners and vendors and continually operate with our organizations best intentions in mind. Could not recommend them more for any and all content marketing needs.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

Not really a complaint, but we are based on different coasts and it can sometimes be challenging to find meeting times that work with all parties involved in our content marketing efforts, which includes and additional three vendors at any given time. Somehow we make it happen and NewsCred is always at the ready even if meetings occur later in their day/evening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Content Marketing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

For years, our business has been trying to leverage good content as a way to generate and nurture leads through our sales and marketing funnels. We struggled to get there on our own and had NewsCred step in and in a little over three months, NewsCred built and populated our new enterprise blog and continues to generate content for our demand generation and lead nurturing efforts.

What do you like best about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

I like that the ability to customize workflows and organize by Campaign, Tasks, etc. The hand off between stakeholders is more clear than in other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

It can very difficult to find tickets if you didn't create the request. Comments are shown by version of documents so sometimes commentary can get lost depending on which version you're looking at. In the proofing and editing process it can be difficult to align because of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Content Marketing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need a tool that enables us to create a plethora of assets/types of content across a wide range of channels. We have to work with stakeholders across the business and with external agencies/vendors and this tool has enabled us to have a clear platform for content/asset creation, editing, versioning, distribution, etc. It helps us to manage the day to day workflows and all in all helps us stay organized in ways that other tools fall short.

What do you like best about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

Optimizely grows as the needs of my company shift - the support of the reps and team as a whole has been incredible. I ask for something and they get it done. There's a 1,000 ways to use the CMP and every option is flexible. Learning the platform has been easy, teaching others how to use...also easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

hard to say what i dislike. When i have a wish list of functions, they work to make it happen. The "library" could be designed more like a DAM (of course they are already working on that component!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

I am a big fan of Optimizely Content Marketing Platform is the ease in which content workflow was managed. Thanks to this, it is easier to assign tasks, track progress and make sure all of this moves as smoothly from idea to publication. With the editorial calendar in place, our team does not miss deadlines and stay on schedule. Plus, we use it along with our CRM to ensure everything from the content we send to our CRM is matched to our overall strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

One of the drawbacks to Optimizely Content Marketing Platform is not optimal content modification in active campaigns due to approval process. Although it is beneficial to have certain set structures and routines to implement practice change it is not always effective when there is need to make sudden changes. It has occasionally been an inconvenience when it comes to launching or modifying time sensitive content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Content Marketing Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the help of the Optimizely Content Marketing Platform, the work of the team is simplified regarding content creation and its marketing objectives. Previously, content planning was disintegrated, and a number of tools had to be used to monitor the development process. All is now done in a central place, thus increases organization and nobody is left confused by the deadlines that have passed. This has justified our way of finding efficiency in the stream in that marketing campaigns are implemented in an efficient manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

Hi there, we use Optimizely at work and were invited to the roadshow in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, there was no choice to review the road show so I chose the content marketing platform since the roadshow was based around that.

The platform looks like its robust and capable of handling multiple tasks which is what you would expect from Optimizely. I especially like the content management aspect of the platform and how easy it seems to be to get all of the teams members across multiple projects visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Marketing Platform?

I think like most companies the promise of AI vs the reality is something to be desired. Often Optimizely is pushing AI as some messiah for personalization but it fails to ask about the question for someone like me who thinks AI-generated content is usually bad, poorly made and at best ethically questionable as it takes jobs away from real human beings and has been trained on actual work that the employee doesn't see the benefit from.

For me this is a huge turn off for a brand and while I get for investors pushing the AI hype makes sense (who doesn't want an easy buck?) pushing lazy computer generated content to users may ultimately hurt the brand more than it helps until AI is actually intelligent and not just regurgitating the status quo milquetoast content.

Again, I was there for a conference and can only speak to the fact that my team member likes otpimizely and from what I've seen it is making life easier for our content management system and rebuilding our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
