"BrightTALK: Empowering Engaging Webinars for Exceptional Audience Interaction"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

BrightTALK excels in providing a seamless and interactive webinar experience. The platform's user-friendly interface, robust analytics, and versatile content options make engaging with a diverse audience easy. Integrating live and on-demand content enhances flexibility, while detailed analytics empower us to understand our audience better. I also like the fact that the system allows the issuance of webinar participation certificates to all attendees.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

While BrightTALK offers a comprehensive webinar solution, occasional glitches during live sessions and limited customization options for branding could be improved. Additionally, some advanced features may require a steeper learning curve, affecting ease of use for beginners.

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

BrightTALK addresses our need for a dynamic and reliable platform to host webinars, solving challenges related to audience engagement and content delivery. The platform's analytics provide valuable insights, helping us tailor content to our audience's preferences. The flexibility of scheduling live and on-demand sessions has significantly improved our reach and overall impact.

Content! Wide variety of strong, technical content presented by experts with diverse viewpoints. Also really like the ability to engage live on some shows.

It's the other side of the content coin. Sometimes there is so much it can be hard to parse through options and find the topics of highest interest.

"BrightTalk is a great addition to our marketing mix"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

BrightTalk is one of the easiest webinar platforms for anyone to use. It takes 5 minutes to set up a webinar. And I also love how easy it is to run on-demand webinars to keep a nice webinar lead flow coming in. Running replays is also incredibly easy and is a great way to reuse existing webinars to generate new demand.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

The only thing I don't like about BrightTalk is that someone has to sign up for BrightTalk and can't just come in from one of our forms. But this small downside is worth the trade-off of how easy it is to set up and run live and on-demand webinars.

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

Without BrightTalk getting a new webinar set up on our website can take over a week, while BrightTalk is so easy to use that it only takes us 5 minutes to set them up.

"Fantastic platform for online events and webinars"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

The range of services and functionality offered by BrightTALK, supported by a fantastic team

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

It would be helpful if presenters cold access on other browsers other than Chrome, and if they could use their tablets to access as well as laptops and PCs

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

Having a BrightTALK channel in place meant we could pivot to virtual events when the pandemic hit, and in doing so, we have discovered the value they provide to allow us to access a wider audience and to be able to push out more engaging content in a more regular fashion,

"Very easy tool to create a webinar with the necessary steps."
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

BrightTALK includes everything you need to create a successful webinar and integrates another tool to register new contacts and have the right access to the webinar, for instance using Hubspot. Then your contacts won't miss the links and the right announcements on time to be able to access the webinar.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

I think the BrightTALK interface could have an UX update, to look more modern.

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

I needed to creat a Webinar for an online event, I already had the user base in Hubspot, so BrightTALK was the right tool to create this online event.

"Simplifying production of webinars and improving lead quality"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

BrightTALK is an easy platform to use with an incredibly responsive support team. I used BrightTALK at my last job, and made adding the tool one of my priorities in kicking off a new Thought Leadership program at my new job.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

I sometimes have to poke around a bit to find the information I need on my channel. But for the most part, I find the platform user friendly.

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

As a leader in the industry, we need a platform to use to educate buyers about the technology and our offerings. We are just kicking off our first webinar, but I have big plans to start ongoing series and expect to show an exceptional ROI after our first year.

"Easy to produce and host, Excellent audience"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

Once I got the hang of posting content and producing talks, I find the platform very intuitive and reliable. I create little 2-week project plans with my clients to produce, promote, analyze, and follow up on talks.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

Sometimes I'm concerned that audiences aren't engaged enough- could be my content's fault! But also the fatigue of too many online events / promotions from BrightTALK.

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

Attracting relevant prospects to our content. Professional production and repeatable promotion.

"Big Fan "
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

Marketo gets a lead for every viewer, unlike YouTube. BrightTALK promote my content. I like the ability to do mock-live events for more polish. Presenters like the Audiance builds as long a you continue to add content

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

Audio fails for 1% of viewers and they have no backup line to call. I would like to be able to use a Marketo reg page Presenter could use a bigger preview screen like on24

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

I built 1000 video subscribers in 11 months at my last company so I brought it into my current employer, where we built a 2500 subscriber list in 18 months. I like the way the platform has evolved and appreciate the product managers keep me engaged. Support is pretty good.

"Huge communities, solid platform and top notch service"
What do you like best about BrightTALK?

The fact that BrightTALK is a community based platform means that we can reach audiences that are not yet on our radar, so in essence they don't just provide a platform but also act as a business development tool.

What do you dislike about BrightTALK?

Reporting on viewers and engagement could be improved in that it would be great to have a single consolidated report to show viewings, attachment download, questions, feedback and votes.

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

As a membership organisation with 25 thousand members in EMEA, we are committed and obliged to provide educational opportunities to our audiences. BrightTALK allows us to do just that. With 400-500 viewers (live and on-demand) we also raise sponsorship with the webcasts.

The only thing I would change is requiring a login to view co tent.

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

Brighttalk provides a way gor thought leaders to give back to future generations. Their can do attitude inspires me to invite other current and future thoughts leaders to the platform. We have a fiduciary responsibility to provide as much insight as possible to enable others to also reach their full potential.
