I appreciate Julius for its versatility and adaptability, allowing businesses to streamline their operations and enhance their productivity effectively.

Vice President, Digital

The tool itself hits all the points - search, tracking, ability to add additional influencers to the platform, cross-sharing with agency logins, client-facing list links.

Digital Influencer Engagement Officer 

I use Julius on a daily basis. If I come across an influencer who looks like they have potential, it only takes me 2 minutes to find them on Julius, and quickly check whether they and their audience align to our organisation. When I am properly prospecting for a campaign, the search functionality on Julius is extremely easy to use, and I am able to create lists of 50 influencers in half a day. When doing out due dilignece on them, the audience insights and content library sections with keyword searching are extremely useful and speed up the due diligence process, and help us to ensure we have not missed something.

It gives me access to so much data to ensure the influencers we work with are aligned to the organisation and our target audience, and it helps me keep track of our influencer relationships and campaigns, and the impact our influencers are having.

the user interface of Julius to be a bit complex, making it challenging to navigate initially.

Co-Founder

Our business requires us to make educated influencer suggestions and knowing their audience demographic and platform ER is a crucial part of this process.  

Additionally, occasional technical issues or bugs have caused disruption.

I like that even if I forget to set a campaign up before content goes live, I can always plug it in later to get accurate results.

Founder

They take feedback very seriously and are keen to listen to any user, including smaller startups or freelancers like myself.

It's now at the point where we have to submit influencers in batches of 1-5 because we know that is the only way they will get added in a timely manner.  

Chief Digital Officer | Social Media

The least liked aspect of Julius is the limited number of influencers in Switzerland, even though the platform promptly adds requested influencers.

PR & Influencer Specialist 

The features that are easy to use is the campaign and list function - love how I can easily track ROI and stats for each campaign we have across our three brands - love the team at Julius they are always willing to help (customer service is wonderful)

The difference between topics and interests can be confusing sometimes.

The campaign tracking feature is extremeley useful and has automated the tracking process for me.

Tour Director

ie no regional mexican, no adult contemporary

The account management team at Julius also make the platform what it is - they are responsive, helpful and always go above and beyond to answer questions, solve problems or help.

Reviewer

Account Executive

I very rarely use it for making lists, managing campaigns, or communicating.

The platform is easy to use and makes finding influencers straightforward.

Global Social Media Manager

Ability to easily search Influencers and export data.

The data is detailed and outlines talent data our team is seeking.

Account Executive 

The metric tracking capabilities are superb and make tracking our campaign very easy.

Director 

Very helpful in sourcing new influencers and diving deep into influencer demographics + stats

Senior Social Strategy

I think that the integration to playforms could be clearer - how are you pulling in data?

SVP, Operations

They have several more filters and features for identifying the right influencers for campaigns, when compared to other softwares in the industry right now.

I'd also love to receive more resources on influencer marketing and how to be successful, since it's a constantly changing industry.

Junior Team Member

The UI is straightforward, and it truly couldn't be easier for me to do talent discovery, use the various filters, etc. to find top talent for various campaigns.

It has been a great program for our team and has helped with building efficiency across the board.

The amount of time it takes to add a new influencer profile.  

I also use the lists for prospecting which is extremely helpful.

There aren't as many mid-tier / micro influencers on the platform to discover

Wish the search feature could be more specific.

Senior Manager, Insights & Strategy

The account services team serving out account is above and beyond what we see of other vendors.

At Julius, the application is easy to use, and furthermore, the numerous data collected are easy to analyze.

The customer service, discovery function and brand search tool are the most beneficial for our team.

Account Manager

Sometimes the quality of the Influencers is lacking and the information we need for them is not there ie contact details.

Marketing Director

so we can correctly decide if they are worth the investment.

Manager, Global Communications 

Team is helpful and fast at answering any questions/concerns.

Partnerships Executive

For many campaigns I work on, I am required to find a variety of influencers for a variety of industries, and the Julius interface, while having many top tier influencers, does not have many micro or nano influencers.

The team at Julius is responsive and incredible.

Geological engineer 

This software it’s looking for trending topic or brands in social networks, so if you look for specific topic or field, maybe Julius isn’t for you.

Training Coordinator

Overall I m feeling blessed to use this app

We did not use features outside of the influencer discovery tool.

Senior Social Media Manager

Due to the cost of the tool, we've limited the # of users who can access the platform, but ideally we'd love to have our PR agency access HYPR to do comms directly from the platform.

For over 3 years I have used this tool for dozens of Influencer campaigns.

Director of Content & Social

This is the best influencer tool I have used in 10 years of professional social media and creator work.

Editorial Assistant

The reports are most useful as they display clear graphics which are easy to share with colleagues and relay the most important information.

Senior Associate, Influencer Marketing

I like using it compared to other CRM platforms

Digital Associate

Julius is able to help us across all of our clients to provide tailored insights and recommendations with the information we're able to find in the platform.

Director of VIP + Influencer Relations

Once you get the full overview of the site and where to find what it's very easy to use. If you don't get the visual from someone that knows it, it can be hard to navigate.
