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!!

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.

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!
