"High-Performing Content Program"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

Brighttalk's easy to use webinar platform and lead generation programs make it easy to plan and execute high-performing content programs that amplify reach and bring in results.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

The costs of the programs and CPL can be high at times.

What problems is BrightTALK solving and how is that benefiting you?

By coupling lead generation and webinar programs together, we are able to execute with less resources and gain new ways to get our message to new audiences. The on-demand portion gives us one place our partners, customers and prospects can go to learn more in a way they want to consume information, when they want to consume it.

"Great way to get Great Content to New Prospects"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

We can control the titles, industries, and countries that we sell into for the content leads. But we also get some great organic leads as well.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

I don't dislike anything. Would love to see an easier integration with Hubspot and SFDC

What problems is BrightTALK solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using YouTube, but no way to get demand gen from it. BrightTALK gives us a way to do that. Most of our content is not specific to our company or product, so BrightTALK provides a way to get cloud security insights to viewers

"Easy-to-use webinar platform, augmented with community-building tools"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

Our marketing team has used BrightTalk as a central part of our inbound and nurturing strategy for 2 years. BrightTalk's interface has been dead simple for our subject matter experts to use, and their team has consistently added new features and capabilities. When we've needed support, their team has also responded rapidly. The difference between BrightTalk and other webinar platforms is that BrightTalk has worked to build a community around the people who present on its platforms. They want to be the "YouTube of webinars," so they offer recommendation tools designed to bring in newcomers interested in your topic.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

The audience-facing interface is kind of ugly. Ditto for their automated email reminders. (Though you do have the ability of turning those off and sending your own messages.) While we like the recommendation tools, it does bring a lot of randos into our registration lists. If you're using BrightTalk as a lead generation tool, that's not great. BrightTalk does offer vetting / segmentation tools, but those are another (expensive, I'd argue) upcharge.

What problems is BrightTALK solving and how is that benefiting you?

In 2020, our live events completely evaporated. BrightTalk's webinars gave us a new (and less expensive) way to engage with our audience. We especially like their on-camera Talks; we use them to host a monthly Q&A with our CEO, which has helped us stay on prospects' minds.

"BrightTalk is a great option for online webinars!"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

It's easy to run a webinar through BrightTalk. FIles with contact details for follow-up are detailed. Customer service is also helpful.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

It's all pretty good. One request would be to have 1 combined master file with the leads. Some clients don't quite know what to do with the 3-5 different files.

What problems is BrightTALK solving and how is that benefiting you?

We offer value to our audience and help sponsors get their message out to a wide pool. People also like the on-demand feature. Main benefits are keeping our clients happy, and driving traffic to our website.

"Solid Lead Generation Tool + Webcast Platform"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

Previously, we used Go To Webinar for external facing webinars. The reason why we moved to BrightTalk is because it provides in addition to webcasting, access to 1m+ users. Our channel and videos are promoted to other community member that have an interest in our industry/topics/ products.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

BrightTalk comes with a series of pre-built email that will be automatically triggered off for all event invitations/reminders/follow-ups (very practical). The drawback is that those are BrightTalk branded. If you want to copy and rebrand those emails with your own look and feel, you need to build them from scratch and any changes BrightTalk will make to dynamic tags (existing or new ones such) will need to be manually changed by the admin (you).

What problems is BrightTALK solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of use in promoting cross channel our webinar and a deeper access to a targeted audience.

No integration with our marketing tool: Act-on and the quality of incoming organic leads are is not the best.

"Great On-Demand Webinar Platform!"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

It is easy to reuse content that has already been created to maximize its potential. It is also very easy to connect to Marketo programs. We have seen a huge increase in organic traffic to our webinars.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

The live webinar features are not as user-friendly as other webinar tools like Zoom. The poll function has an odd delay and you can't see the number of attendees or who is attending.

What problems is BrightTALK solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to get our webinars more attention. So far we have seen decent organic traffic, but not as many live viewers as we are used to. We also wanted to get in front of the right communities.
