What do you like best about Popular Pays?

We've had an incredible experience using the Popular Pays platform for our campaigns. From the start, their **customer service team** has been nothing short of exceptional—always responsive, helpful, and ready to provide solutions whenever needed. Whether it's technical support or strategic advice, they've been a true partner every step of the way.

One of the best aspects of Popular Pays is how **user-friendly** the platform is. Setting up and running campaigns is a breeze, even for those who may not be as tech-savvy. The intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate, track progress, and manage every aspect of a campaign with minimal effort.

Working with creators on this platform has been an absolute pleasure. The **creators are talented, professional, and bring such creative energy** to each collaboration. They truly understand how to connect with audiences in authentic ways, making the content more engaging and impactful.

The platform has also been a game changer in helping us **reach a new audience of users** that we couldn't have connected with through traditional methods. The combination of creator talent and data-driven targeting has allowed us to expand our reach and grow our brand in ways that simply weren't possible with other platforms.

Overall, we highly recommend Popular Pays for anyone looking to elevate their campaigns and tap into new audiences with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform streamlines the process of finding, vetting, and collaborating with creators, allowing us to generate authentic content that resonates with our audience in a fraction of the time it used to take. With its robust network of influencers and seamless workflow, we can easily manage multiple campaigns, ensuring that our brand stays relevant and engaging. The speed and ease of finding influencers who align with our brand values have been a huge advantage, allowing us to scale our marketing efforts effectively.

It's been a great resource for us to connect clients to quality creators, and we appreciate the sharing capabilities for clients from an agency. Our customer support has been wonderful, with our dedicated team periodically checking in to lend a helping hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Popular Pays?

Availability of large creators, no feature to show the budget inputted vs. current spend, some creators on Popular Pays are no longer active on social channels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Popular Pays solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a platform to manage influencer content creation front to back, and Popular Pays has done just that! It's allowed us to sell our service to clients along with the ease of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Popular Pays?

Our working relationship with our account reps and product managers. As the client, we feel heard when there are product/platform suggestions and the PopPays team works to integrate those improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Popular Pays?

Quality of creators has started to diminish a bit. Not necessarily the quality of the individuals (although that can be the case), rather the quality of final assets. We know our parent company has steep and strict standards for campaign briefs, but it's become quite a heavy lift to chase creators to ensure all points of the briefs are met. The quality of final videos don't always meet our expectations, but creators themselves are usually willing to work with us to get to a good middle ground. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Popular Pays solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creators have a unique way of connecting to our audiences that brand accounts cannot accomplish on their own. We love working with creators and seeing their individual styles and creativity come to life with our products! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joshua Brook of Popular Pays

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate our account reps and product managers' responsiveness to your suggestions. We understand your concerns about the quality of final assets and are committed to ensuring that creators meet your campaign brief standards. We will address this internally as we continue to enhance the quality assurance process and provide additional support to creators. Your partnership is valuable to us, and we are dedicated to delivering exceptional results for your campaigns. Thank you for choosing Popular Pays as your partner in building a creator community!

What do you like best about Popular Pays?

I really appreciate how Popular Pays makes influencer management simple. From vetting and approving to briefing and collecting content, the whole process is possible in the platform which makes my life as a social media manager easier! I appreciate how easy it is to use too. It is very user friendly, anyone can learn it from just a brief demo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Popular Pays?

I think sometimes users I want to invite have a hard time understanding what the platform is and that is a challenge, but there is nothing that I really dislike about the platform itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Popular Pays solving and how is that benefiting you?

Popular Pays is making influencer management a whole lot easier! It makes finding creators easy and also staying on top of deliverables. I also love how the brief sets the expectations for creators from the very beginning so there is no confusion on what they agreed to come content creation time.

What do you like best about Popular Pays?

There is a wide net of influencers with all types of niches making it easy to find ones that fit your brand. They have created quality content for my client and posted on their accounts which has generated more followers for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Popular Pays?

We do get a lot of applicants that are outside of what my brand is looking for (mom/lifestyle content) and Perfect Hydration is more athlete focused. Therefore, we have to sort out a lot of those influencers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Popular Pays solving and how is that benefiting you?

They're generating much more UGC posts for us and supporting brand awareness at specific new retailers we are shelfing product at. This has helped be able to spread the news of the retailer launches easier and potentially generate more sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Popular Pays?

What I like best about Popular Pays is how organized and streamlined the platform is, the ability to chat with support and an actual human being instantly, and the ease of finding your next influencer campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Popular Pays?

The least helpful thing about Popular Pays is that a lot of users take their time in answering messages, or may not answer at all. If there was a method of communication like text or email that we'd be able to connect to them right away, perhaps it would help ease the initial collaboration process.
