Overall Satisfaction with PathFactory

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory to curate content by topic, audience, interests, etc... in order to send targeted communications and promotions. We'll include PathFactory resources within emails, social media, and our website to provide focused outreach to our users, and then use the stats on their interaction with the content to hone our strategy further. Rather than spending time collecting and sending a dozen links to different digital collateral pieces, our Sales team can send a single link to a highly streamlined playlist of content that encourages their targets to binge our materials and take action on the pieces they find most compelling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Statistics and analytics
Content Library curation and management
Curated content viewing experiences
Automation

Cons

CRM tool could use an interface refresh - the layout is not intuitive
Wish their was more customizability in terms of content tagging and sorting
Styling the pages can require some heavy CSS, more declarative options for design would be a huge help

Return on Investment

We have seen an over 60% increase in our audience engagement with more than one piece of our content since implementing PathFactory.
We now have detailed insights into new and existing account engagement with our content based on content topic, type, attribution, persona, and more.

Likelihood to Recommend

A well-established content marketing team with a robust library of marketing collateral and defined audience personas would be wise to use PathFactory for the targeted distribution and automation of assets, especially in coordination with a Sales team that has an aggressive ABM strategy. The comprehensive stats and analytics will take your content and sales strategy to the next level as you optimize and refine established messaging for segmented audiences. A smaller company that is still developing its library of content should wait until they have identified its target markets and built up resources. Without strong, established content in place, PathFactory can only go so far as a means of distributing and measuring what is available.
