It is intuitive. It is thorough. They have thought of everything and have already provided solutions for things before I know that I need them --- and when I do eventually need something, it is already built-in and ready for me. Account management, order entry, billing, order and ad tracking, production, client communications, calendar management, forecasting --- and all data is continually updated in real time. They even seem to endure my questions with a smile on their face\! I just couldn't be happier with this platform\! > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything to criticize. A couple of times I have made suggestions for something that could be improved and they agreed both times and implemented my ideas. These were minor tweaks, yet helpful and they happily and readily accommodated. ----- ### "Launch Pad Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jacqueline** | *3 September 2021* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that there are different ways to find what I am looking for. I like that it is all laid out in one spot. I love that when I have a problem, the help desk immediately answers and the videos have been amazing for me to learn and re watch so one day I don't have to contact them. > > **Cons**: The thing I like least is entering digital orders with more vague information, however I don't think this has anything to do with the software and as time goes on I am sure I will navigate how to do this > > I have been very happy with this system and see how great it can be once I learn all aspects of it and become a "super user", I am still learning. ----- ### "LaunchPad LIES\!\!\!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Henry** | *20 March 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: They are very detailed in what they would like you to do to be successful. > > **Cons**: They are over the top about making sure that they are giving you HIGH expectations of you spending hours to get everything done. They have a goal to make this process take A LOT OF TIME. > > They sent me their canned response so I will not try to get a refund. I have done the work, but they DON'T CARE\! But I havent seen any effort or engagements with the material or community other than skepticism and for that reason your initial refund request is denied. ----- ### "It does more than manage your newspaper, it sold ads for us\!" — 5.0/5 > **Cory** | *9 May 2024* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: First off, the level of organization by tracking contacts, ad sales, ad creative, editorial, legals, classifieds, revenue, and more is amazing. Best part is, after implementing this for a newspaper I just purchased, the insertion order was so professional that people were talking about it to other business owners. The people who heard about it called and wanted to purchase ads because they heard the new team was very organized and professional. These were businesses that had dropped or were new contacts. LP paid for itself in the first month due to these new opportunities we were able to close. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I'm 90% happy with everything about LP. It is perfect for a small or mid-size newspaper, magazine, or publishing group. I can see where maybe a HUGE outfit like the New York Times might want something more robust, but for the majority of the publishing industry, this is what you need. The only cons are just minor things that probably don't matter. For instance, if you see a mistake on an insertion order mid-way through, it is best to just complete it, then edit it. If you use your browser's back-up function, it will duplicate the size of the order. The "cons" if you want to call them that are so minimal I hate to even bring them up. They do not impede the platform from being far better than I could imagine. > > I did about four or five demos with LP competitors before I made my final decision. We were about five minutes into the LP demo and I made my final decision. You won't find a team that is more friendly, helpful, and invested in your success than this team. Their onboarding is very comprehensive and worth every penny. I'm not the most traditional personality they deal with, so I asked for some special accommodations during the onboarding, and while I know it gave them a bit of heartburn, they agreed to it. For me it is working very well. I do not regret my choice whatsoever and that is largely due to the team behind the product. ----- ### "LaunchPad Meets Expectations" — 4.0/5 > **Larry** | *10 October 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: LP was easy to use and is a good CRM for client and prospect management. It has excellent search abilities when pulling up an account and it also has spell check for all my notes which is very helpful and surprisingly not a feature in all CRMs. > > **Cons**: Only one item and that the inability to change color of the skin - initially they provided a pallet of colors but then they got rid of this feature. > > LP is an excellent sales tool which helped me be successful in the advertising and marketing space. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/460232/LaunchPad-Media-Management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/460232/LaunchPad-Media-Management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
