Digital Marketing Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Genius Monkey Always Overdelivers" August 26, 2021 5.0 The team we work with is top notch. They are passionate about their work and make me feel special as a client. I know they're always working hard behind the scenes to ensure we're putting our best foot forward to introduce new prospective students to our institution. Pros I have been working with the Genius Monkey team and using their software for about 18 months. I have consistently been blown away by the results we achieve and their reporting capabilities give us insights we can't achieve with anyone else. We've run head to head tests only to secure more funding to always run media through Genius Monkey. The access we have to the data within their software helps us gauge our performance and determine if we need new creative, additional channels, optimizations across audiences, or any other changes. Cons The interface isn't the most beautiful one out there, and there's no easy way to see the creative when you're viewing the results so you have to make sure your naming conventions are very clear. Other than that, it really meets all of our needs. Review Source Response from Genius Monkey August 27, 2021 Thank you Katie, you have been a great partner! We do appreciate your feedback on not being able to easily see the creative and you will be happy to know that is a feature that will be rolled out into the dashboard soon. JW Jackson W.

I feel they truly care about our business, and our client's business and do their best to deliver quality results and a quality account management experience. Pros The Genius Monkey Software is easy to use, and easy to get set up. The Genius Monkey team is responsive and once we send them all of our information, we are up and running quickly. Their reporting has gotten so much better of the years, and their online dashboard allows myself and our clients easy access to live results... And unique to other digital companies, their numbers are always right. Great for mass brand awareness campaign and tons of impressions with a low CPM and CPC. Cons Premium impressions are not a strength of this software. Reason for choosing Genius Monkey Lowest CPM, lowest CPC, and results. They routinely out perform other platforms.

They are extremely responsive and solution-oriented. Pros There a many Pros to Genius Monkey. First off you only pay for clicks NOT impressions. Secondly, they only target those who are "in-market" thus staying in front of the middle to bottom-funnel leads. They also have a much greater inventory of ad networks and databases, so you are not limited to the handful that most have to use. Finally, the ability to see the customer journey from the first touch to final conversion allows us to manage our client's campaigns with confidence. Cons Hard to find anything here but maybe a more user-friendly Customer Journey report for the clients to see would be nice. Review Source JB Jordan B.

Pros The ability to target an intended audience and place the most targeted impressions possible for the budget. Cons It’s complexity requires business owners (purchasers) to have more than a basic level of customer attribution modeling to understand the full value. However, even when using last click attribution Genius Monkey analytics outperform the competition. Reason for choosing Genius Monkey The ROAS and customer targeting was the best.

Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Director" August 31, 2021 5.0 I've been using Genius Monkey for over 10 years to provide digital solutions for my clients. The experience has been nothing short of excellent. Pros Ease of use. Effectiveness of product. Results for clients. Simple as that. Cons None that I can think of. They give me what I need to make my clients successful. Review Source ML Milica L.

We quickly went from one client to 10. Website traffic increases immediately. Clients love it - however, they would like to experience faster conversions. Pros Ease of setup, clean reports, and customer service is amazing!! Cons I wish there was more data about conversions. Easier access to customers' journeys. Creative preview.

Results was the measurement and this platform performed. Pros We needed to reach a very targeted client and this ad platform did it exceptionally well.

Account Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Digital Partner" August 26, 2021 5.0 Pros Genis Monkey has a product suite that makes it easy to implement campaigns as well as an attribution model that is superior to competition. Cons There weren't any difficulties in utilizing Genius Monkey product suite. If any client issues arise Genius Monkey was quick to provide solutions. Review Source Response from Genius Monkey August 27, 2021 We appreciate that Tracy! We pride ourselves on our attribution and being able to track not only our campaigns, but our client's other medium campaign's as well, from the impression to the post click conversion. SH Sandra H. Sr. Account Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Results Platform " August 27, 2021 5.0 Exceptional. Superior Service, and experience and knowledge is unparralled. Pros The BEST quality of Genius Monkey is the ability to fish in multiple ponds. You can reach your target match through not just display, but also native and socially. Focusing on a cost Per Engagement model changed my game. CPM is tired and useless to a client. They want engagement for their budget...PROVEN results. You can't argue with action taken. Cons Gosh. I thought about this one for a while. I honestly cannot think of one thing I could suggest as improvement. Review Source Response from Genius Monkey August 31, 2021 Thank you Sandra for the kind words. We do agree and have built our platform around the benefits to the advertiser in using a cost per engagement model over a cost per thousand impression model. The efficiencies we are able to drive from this model are of great value to our clients. CF Craig F. Manager Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Superior performance and reporting to others in the space" August 31, 2021 5.0 Pros Genius Monkey has top notch customer service to back their performance that has been far superior to any other digital marketing vendor we have ran with before. Their reporting is extremely detailed and helps us see how all of our marketing vendors, not just Genius Monkey, are working together cohesively and helps us to be able to make actionable decisions on real data. Cons I struggle to find any. They properly caution you upon starting with Genius Monkey that it will take time to get traction, but once it does it is worth the wait! Review Source JD James D. Marketing & Content Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Service & Great People" September 7, 2021 5.0 Pros The people that work at Genius Monkey are awesome! We love the results that they gave us as well as their analytics! Cons None we love it. We can't think of any cons. Review Source Similar Products Featured
