Considered Both Products
DemandScience
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science was less expensive when quoting cost per lead than Tech Target. Other than that, the program sounded almost the same. I selected Demand Science because I was price sensitive while trying to test whether the tactic of content syndication was effective for us.
Chose DemandScience
Mainly in the flexibility of targeting

Demandbase and Demandbase Advertising Cloud
Chose DemandScience
DS has a huge database and therefore lead count within the niche audiences and industries.
Many other lead partners are specialized in one industry. DS is capable of delivering in multiple industries, which is awesome if you target different target audiences as well. There is a …

TechTarget Lead Generation, Madison Logic Platform and Foundry
Chose DemandScience
Over the past year we've utilised a variety of content syndicators, approximately six or seven in total, as we believe in maintaining a diversified mix of suppliers to ensure comprehensive and well-rounded marketing efforts. While all these platforms have their individual …
Chose DemandScience
I've only used DemandScience for content syndication.
Chose DemandScience
I've not used another content syndication company, and I probably won't after the lack of results we've had. I have used direct email organizations, and they are stronger but also more expensive, so you have to weigh your priorities. I could see if you were selling a specific …
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science has the largest audience in our target groups, which is exactly what we need, as we always require high volumes of leads.
They are also very good when it comes to account management, we always feel that they are there for us, and if we ever have any issue, they …
Chose DemandScience
We have used other media vendors from the likes of Madison Logic, Inbox Insight etc.

However, it has been the direct feedback from the client, great customer service and competitive CPL rates that have influenced our choice.
Chose DemandScience
I would say it is similar to Madison Logic when it comes to the quality of leads and customer service. We are yet to see results coming from GumGum's contextual approach but from a content syndication perspective they are one of the more reliable ones out there, especially for …
Chose DemandScience
We have used Tech Target in the past which is much more expensive than Demand Science but lead quality is the same across both vendors
Chose DemandScience
Similar offering to other content syndication offerings. Of 12 tested partners in the last year, DS ranked 7th in Opportunity Rate and 4th on CPL rate.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is a good tool, but doesn't measure up to some other more tech-oriented content syndication players. Taboola is an excellent tool that has a very good user interface to set up the launch and monitor campaigns.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is easy to use.
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science's communication skills through email against the ones selected is great! when it comes to getting preview links to go live in the markets they are quick to generate these. As well as getting them amended as per our request, we never have any issues with this …
Chose DemandScience
All vendors have their strengths and weaknesses. Due to the scale of activity we do on behalf of our clients, we tend to always use a basket of vendors to deliver the lead volumes we require. DemandScience is always on the preferred partner list and will thus be considered for …
Chose DemandScience
Again, the main draw to DemandScience was primarily the Scale available across all markets we attempted to target and garner leads from.
Chose DemandScience
Madison Logic Platform, BrightTALK and TechTarget Lead Generation
Chose DemandScience
Good for quality appointment setting, poor against content syndication.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is on the more preferred half of vendors due to their negotiated CPLs and willingness to step up to the plate.
Influ2
Chose Influ2
Great for creative ad management, as their high-quality creative studio helps you match the most effective creative assets with campaign KPIs on a platform-by-platform basis.
Chose Influ2
When talking about specifically ABM INFLU2 ranks on first for me as it is easy to use and setup in accordance with other software. Also the leads generated are quality leads. Each campaign can be personalized and reports of each campaign give a detailed idea of how the campaign …

User Testimonials
DemandScienceInflu2
Likelihood to Recommend
DemandScience is great if you are looking for the ability to target very specific titles, roles, companies, etc., and receive high quality leads. They have an incredible scale compared to other partners my team has worked with, but their leads also perform very well down the funnel. This is not always the case because oftentimes, a partner will have room to scale well, but the leads are colder. I'm really impressed with how well DemandScience targets and also with how quickly they respond to me when I have any questions. Recently, my DemandScience rep reached out because he wanted to get our targeting more honed in on our ideal customer. He wanted to work with me to see down-funnel data (where possible and allowed) so that we could create a more targeted campaign. Other partners have never put this kind of time into our partnership.

It works well for lead generation but renewal will depend on the strategy and budget at the point we need to renew to see if it will align.

Usability
The leads were pretty straight forward. However, their appointment setting did not integrate well into our system and many of the meetings didn't occur. I had to chase a lot of prospects and many times Demand Science didn't provide direct dials.

They did extremely well. However, our executives did a poor job in defining our ICP so we didn't get the maximum benefit out of it.
