Pros

“Product and Engineering respond fast when we raise questions, and the Content team helps us refine our customer-facing material with minimal lift on our side.”

Marketing Manager

Cons

“One of the biggest drawbacks of Instagram is that the algorithm can make it difficult for content to reach followers consistently, especially for business accounts.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

“The pressure to curate a certain image, along with intrusive ads and the addictive, hard-to-put-down scrolling design, were also things I didn't love.”

Léo L.

Content Creator

“I dislike the algorithms that tend to overdue advertisements from gathering users personal information which result in a bombardment of ad repetition.”

Cons

“May be name "Buyapowa" doesn't ring well. Or maybe it's just me.”

“Additionally, we use the email journey to market to our customers but there is no user-friendly way to look at the email metrics and see where customers are falling out of the lead funnel.”
