Content Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to Use Influencer Management System" June 8, 2022 4.0 Overall it's been great. The client management is good and the platform isn't flashy but it's easy and proficient. Pros It was not difficult to get acquainted with the platform. It took minutes to feel comfortable managing campaigns and navving the software. Cons The search tool didn't always get the results I wanted, but that was difficult to know if it was because the athletes I was looking for weren't on the platform or if the search was busted. Reason for choosing OpenSponsorship Had a referral and it matched up nicely with our needs. Switched from [Obviously AI](https://www.capterra.com/p/186023/Obviously-AI/) Obviously was expensive and the content we got sucked.

I have found a lot of deals, some pod and some just free products but either way I’ve loved the company. Pros Influencer discovery. It makes it really easy to find deals for athletes. The way the profiles are set up is really nice. Cons Navigating the website on mobile can be frustrating. It seems to have a bit of its own issues but nothing major. Review Source AC Alberto C. Digital Marketing Director Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Waste Of Money: Broken Features And Overpriced Influencers" January 23, 2023 1.0 I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone. They don't have a free trial period and don't offer refunds. So, absolutely steer clear. Pros At first we were really excited to discover this platform able to put in contact influencers and companies, but once we started using it, it revealed completely useless for us. Cons Influencers on this platform ask for ridiculous amount of money. All of them, from very small to big influencers. They don't offer enough exposure or content quality to ask for those prices. Additionally, most accounts are managed by agents, so they are totally useless since they are very editorial and there is no "social" component.Most features are incomplete, broken or very limiting. For example, many social media links don't work and can't really view the actual live social media accounts of the athletes. Proposal or campaign templates are very basic and limiting, you are better off on your own. All text slots have a character limit which makes the whole process frustrating since you can't really express all your terms. Another frustrating feature is that the app puts you in contact with an OpenSponsorship agent every time you declare that you don't have the budget to collaborate with an influencer. This is ridiculous. You are better off contacting the influencers outside the platform, at least you have a direct conversation with them. In other words, when the influencers ask for a ridiculous amount of money (which happens most of the time), the app doesn't give you the opportunity to negotiate directly with them.

It was also very easy to centrally manage ongoing projects on a single screen. Pros Easy and intuitive to use, very good UI. It is very useful to know how many players you can approach, how many followers they have and their actual reach. Cons It would be nice to have an item that would allow us to know the level of the players. Where they won the tournament, the team is a contender in the D1 category, etc. Review Source RT Raquel T. Professional Triathlete & Triathlon Coach Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FIVE STarts 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟" June 12, 2022 5.0 After working with open sponsorship, I learn more about sports marketing, I had many opportunities to interact with business owners and help them with their business goals and also helping my self to stay focused, helping me financially and with products that inspires me with my endurance sports higher goals. And also as a human being. Pros Friendly, easy to use, and motivational! Cons I don't have anything, maybe I would love to receive more invitations. 💛 Review Source JK Justin K.

Pros It connects the right people to the right brands for maximum exposure. Cons The approval process seems to be a bit slow but that can be on the brand and not influencer.

I have gotten several deals through this platform and every time have received and been paid a commission. It is easy to use and find businesses that are willing to work with you in order to support their product. It is the most active platform that contains the most amount of businesses on the market. Pros Easy to connect with various brands. Deals of all kinds. Customer support responds quickly. Cons The app could use some fixing and updating. The commission that is taken from the deal is a bit too much. Review Source TS Travis S. Athlete Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic for athletes/influencers of any status!" June 7, 2022 5.0 Its been a huge confidence booster when it comes to reaching out to sponsors. So much easier compared to reaching out to people that you don't even know if they're looking for people. I really love the feature of having your own detailed profile with personal information and channels. It helps show sponsors who you are and what you do. Overall great experience so far and I believe it can help my status continue to grow! Pros Very easy to use and navigate. Wide variety of opportunities to reach out and be reached out to. Customer service is amazing as well, fairly quick responses and extremely friendly support! Cons Wish the payment after a deal is completed was quicker, rather than up two weeks after a deal is completed, would prefer 2-3 days at max. Review Source CP Caira P.

Digital Marketing Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Carlson Labs Review" August 17, 2022 4.0 I like the ability to reach a niche market with athletes with smaller followings. The only downside is a lot of spam accounts or athletes who probably aren't active anymore flood the search function. Pros I liked the ease of use and how simple the layout was. Cons The search bar is a little clunky and the analytics could offer more. Review Source JT Jenna T.
