What do you like best about StatSocial?

StatSocial can target audiences that no other vendor/partner can. Social media targeting is great for getting customers of specific brands as well as reaching specific job titles and those hard to reach/niche audiences. StatSocial also has effective affiliations. We have had particular success with targeting owners ofspecific car brands. Last but certainly not least, StatSocial has tremendous customer support. The team is responsive, helpful and transparent. The targeting platform is also straightforward and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

There is no company size or company revenue targeting which are common parameters for many of our studies. We have also had many frequent trouble shooting issues, particularly slow loading times for generating and delivering audiences. When this happens, I have to email the team and wait for the issue to be resolved. While their response time is quick, it is frustrating when it delays our fast-paced timeline and costs us, and you, potential completes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

StatSocial can target hard-to-reach audiences such as very niche jobs, customers of specific brands or those affiliated with various organizations or groups. Being able to reach these audiences allows our company to better serve our clients and accept difficult projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

I like that StatSocial provides an easy way to discover an audience's interests and media consumption. I also like that the tool allows us to build an audience based on social media followers or job titles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

The new insights report design is somewhat clunky. I find it easier to download the reports as an Excel document and navigate in there. I also wish that StatSocial could build an audience based on Instagram and TikTok followers rather than just engagers. Some of the media types and attributes seem outdated, I would like to know how often these are recrawled and when new attributes are added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

StatSocial helps our clients learn more about their target audiences (interests, social media habits, media consumption). We also use the platform to vet potential influencers to make sure they are a good match for our clients' audiences based on their affinities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

Useful audiences with a lot of interesting levers to pull. Easy to push audiences to platforms once you know the process. Unique audiences that other platforms don't have. Reasonable cost structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

Sometimes can be hard to find more niche audiences. Can also be time consuming to add all the possible audiences you may need. Takes a while to create audiences and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Getting unique audiences into Meta platform now that native audience targeting in Meta is more limited. Also creating political audiences that we can push into Meta or LinkedIn. Along with the politcial audience creation, the political insights has been really useful and an additional value add for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

The platform is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I use the tool quite often for work. Creating an audience is simple and the insights give me a good basis to paint a picture of the audience that I want to analyze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

I would like to see definitions for the personas and personality insights that the platform provides. Sometimes I can get a general understanding of what the terms could mean, but sometimes they are vague and difficult to decipher (e.g. "Infinite Monkeys and a Typewriter"). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

I like how easy it is to pull data from statsocial, and how applicable/flexible it is across industries and types of social media. I like the breadth of information available on statsocial and the summary graphics page, which is visually very helpful. The customer service team is always very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

I wish that Statsocial had clearer labels. I have to email sometimes to understand what certain sections or personalities mean (e.g., B2B, personas). I also think that down the road it would be helpful to have "pre-set" audiences in stat-social. For example, if I want to look at a sustainability audience specifically, I could filter on for all of the relevant variables for sustainability across sections instead of parsing manually through each section to find what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Really helps us hone in on who our clients should be targeting and why. Solves the mystery of who the customers are--without having to run a full survey. StatSocial is also more nimble than surveys--so we get a quick sample and can build an audience much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

I really liked the unique functionality that StatSocial offers like the detailed reporting and information on audiences. The support team has also been really helpful with answering questions and staying in consistent communication with our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

I feel like the platform is still young in some ways. It can be a little frustrating when the platform doesn't reflect accurate numbers at times and needs to be refreshed. My only other issue is their FAQ and partner integration with Live Ramp. My experience with this wasn't great, and I feel like there should be more documentation on which partners integrate and how to do integrate for a seamless customer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

StatSocial offers the opportunity to build audience based off social media followings and specifc affinity groups, an incredibly unique tool in the market. We have also been able to learn more about our customers YoY and how they've changed or stayed the same which helps us stay familiar with our target audience.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

The connectivity between social platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

The unease with some of the search options, if we're looking for a brand but don't have the exact user it'd be nice if we could still search for the company for instance if the Instagram account is Nordstrom but the user handle is NordstromUS it might not always populate. This might only apply to smaller non nationwide accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to target users who are on social platforms that we may not be able to reach through other audience types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

StatSocial offers powerful audience intelligence. The audience recipe options are extensive and, in the rare instances where I don't find what I need, the customer service team is always available for a quick workaround. The AI summaries and audiences clusters are also incredibly useful and make my job much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would be nice to have a direct API connection to social listening tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatSocial?

They're easy to work with and their platform is even easier to use. Silhouette provides useful insights on custom audiences that you can't get anywhere else and we're able to create hyper-specific cohorts for surveying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatSocial?

There is a bit of mystry around how StatSocial's proprietary technology works that dappers the usefulness of their data. Their costing model also can be rather limiting as there is a high-cost of entry to useing their services, which limits our ability to scale our services to new clients — particularly those with more modests research budgets (Which I understand, but it limits what we're able to do with them).

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

They allow us to survey audiences of people who engage with our influencers across social w/o using forced exposure techniques Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
