GRIN Influencer Marketing

A Master Class in Deception and Underperformance

Grin deceived us throughout the sales process, hiding critical information, overselling the platform, and getting us to sign a 12-month contract with auto-payments that are impossible to stop, even when scammed. We're left with a tool that fails to meet our needs and doesn't deliver what was promised.

Their "Curated lists" feature, touted as a white-glove service for creator search, is laughable. The team puts in minimal effort, delivering irrelevant or duplicate influencers. The promised robust discovery tool doesn't exist; they recently added a few search filters that are ineffective.

Grin is a resource drain, creating problems instead of solving them. They excel at cold selling and misleading demos, coercing small businesses into a 12 month contract. The reality is far from what's promised.

Avoid Grin and save yourself the frustration and wasted money. You'll likely end up trapped in a long-term contract for a product that fails to deliver.

Don't waste your money, what the sales person says the software does and what it actually does are 2 different things.

GRIN Creator Management Platform has been the foundation of my company's Influencer Marketing efforts since the start. GRIN brings efficiency to each creator relationship we instill, and it allows us to streamline our processes for maximum output.

GRIN hosts various features such as creating activations and campaigns, email templates, content logging, handling creator payouts, data analytics, and so much more. GRIN allows you to stay extremely organized with each creator relationship. From linking social media pages to custom tagging, staying detail oriented on GRIN is easy to navigate and extremely beneficial.

GRIN is an invaluable software run by the most passionate team of people. Each individual working behind GRIN strives to help their customers utilize the platform to their utmost advantage. GRIN is always updating and enhancing their platform based on customer feedback they receive. A new feature recently launched called 'GRINup' selects up to 50 prospective creators for you based on chosen criteria! Features like this can save hours of time searching through social media platforms for new creators.

I also love being a part of the GRIN community. They host various opportunities with all of their customers where people can network and deliberate on various influencer marketing concepts. I wouldn't have it any other way - GRIN has changed the game!!

We've been growing our Influencer Marketing program with GRIN for several years now and had a super seamless experience with the Shopify integration! Easy to use to place orders in bulk, and effectively communicates back and forth with discount codes. Highly Recommended!

With Grin, we have been able to reach new talent, meaningfully build relationships and easily manage all product needs. Grin has been an extremely effective tool for SKIMS!

GRIN has been by far the best investment we have made in our company's influencer and creator marketing efforts. It has allowed us to scale and grow our in-house creator community, and to truly showcase the value of this program through tangible reporting.

In addition to bringing everything under one platform (product seeding, contract negotiation, reporting, etc.), the support from the GRIN team is unmatched. Whenever we encounter a bug or something in the platform that isn't working as expected, the support team and our account rep (shout out to Katie G!) are always on it.

As the influencer and creator space continues to evolve, we are confident that our investment in GRIN will continue to grow and sustain us.

GRIN is the ultimate influencer marketing platform! It truly has it all. We are able to manage our entire affiliate program within this platform and more. The team is so helpful and always go above and beyond whenever we have issues. GRIN has so many great features and I can't recommend them enough.

Grin has been invaluable in growing out influencer program and they are a fantastic company to work with.

I have been a GRIN user for 4 years now and I love it! The features are unmatchable to other platforms. I love how I can easily manage each creator and each campaign and activation. I use the email sequences quite a bit and find that it's so much easier to track then sending mass emails and having to worry about follow ups. The content and UGC that we have from our partners lives in GRIN and is easily downloadable and we use this in other departments from email marketing, ecomm and social media! I am a big data and numbers person, so the analytics are great to pull from an hour, to a day, to a month to a specific creator. You get your own customer service rep and they are extremely knowledgable and very helpful and quick to respond!
I love the GRIN community as well, I've met so many other amazing partnership managers through the GRIN community. I continue to learn as well from their webinars, podcasts, fireside chats, and articles. They are constantly staying up to date in the influencer marketing space!
Once I signed up and started using GRIN I'll never switch to any other platform!

I have used GRIN for nearly 2 years and through my journey with GRIN have always been very vocal about my overall love for not only the software but every experience we've had with GRIN. When we on-boarded GRIN we had a shell of an affiliate program surviving on spreadsheets and a dream. Today (with the help of GRIN), we have scaled to a manageable and successful program. So much of our process was being done manually through spreadsheets, manual orders, and SO SO SO any tiny steps. GRIN takes all of our time-consuming steps and streamlines everything through Shopify which leaves our influencers with a more seamless experience and leaves me with more time to grow our program. If you're on the fence, jump off, and get GRIN!
