DemandScience vs. Voices

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.

For major "national" work often their financial compensation is in line. But for other generally smaller jobs I'm not sure it's a fair dollar amount. I'm not sure this is due to the client involved or a policy of Voices.

• All my bookings are ensured payment via their escrow system.
• They post many jobs for me each day.

• Management and attention to detail - several items slip through the cracks.
• Coordination between account management and invoicing has been sloppy.
• Better intent data to match profiles.
• Connecting the download to the actual sponsor - often heard, "We never downloaded XYZ."

• I'm not sure I'm given every fair chance at being booked for the various jobs for which I audition.
• The amount given for payment for each job is mysterious. Often the same job from other sites is considerably higher there. I wonder if I'm being offered the amount I should be in a fair market.
• Quite often the amount offered for long form jobs is way below industry standards.

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.

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.

The DemandScience Activate CSM team is always helpful and attentive to our organization's needs and goals. We receive thorough attention and detail from the team through regular touch bases and a standard reporting cadence. The team always asks where they can improve, and works to provide insights that matter to our organization and help us to try new things.

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.

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.

I use both Voices and Voice 123. Initially i got more bookings with Voice. Now, I'm liking Voice 123 better. It's more transparent and offers much higher payments for voice acting work.

Incentivized

• Delivered quality leads that had engaged with our top of funnel content
• Added quality contacts to our marketing database
• Cost per lead slightly higher than some other vendors
• Quick to set up, launch and deliver the campaign once everything in place
• Excellent account management and named-person support

Incentivized

• Initially, the income and opportunity for increased income seemed great. Lately the paid jobs I've received has fallen way off. This is happening as I'm getting a lot better as a voice actor. It doesn't make sense. It's like Voices is somehow keeping me from getting gigs through their service.
• Often over the years I've been upsold to change to their more expensive plans. I've tried them with NO discernible improvement with opportunities for me.
• I'm going to have to get better ROI in the near future or I won't be continuing my subscription.
