Jon, Scott and Amy are all total studs. I enjoyed working with their service and they definitely exceeded my expectations. I was worried that I would get ripped off and would get expensive fake traffic, but in reality the service is super legit. Basically, after promoting a few videos I can see analytics, understand who watched my videos on which website, what kind of engagement and sharing my videos got. Then, I can just continue promoting the video that got the most shares. I had nothing but positive experience with Virool.

Wow!
August 29, 2019

Wow! My videos have basically gone VIRAL, "in my mind at least." I've never gotten more than 25-50 views per video on my own, so getting thousands of views feels like I've gone VIRAL! Virool has been instrumental in the success of my business. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do!

My son is a musician and he always creates different music videos that he then posts on YouTube. As his mother, it was important for me to see him succeed, so for his b-day I actually bought $1,000 worth of Virool credits.

The folks at the company were very courteous and they helped me understand the platform (I am not the most tech savvy person). We were able to get 20,000 Virool views, which reflected in about 80,000 YouTube views.

My son was crazy pleased and told me that he couldn't have gotten a better gift!

Virool is a great platform for distributing video content, but don't expect it to be a silver bullet. $10 is not going to get you viral and you are probably an idiot for thinking that it would in the first place.

I was blown away with the fact that Virool team went out of their way to help me promote my movie on Vimeo. They set up a custom solution for me and promoted the hell out of my film. We got featured on Vimeo and became one of the most watched films on their platform.

Hey Guys,
February 18, 2014

Hey Guys,
Phil is here. The folks at Virool asked me to share my experience with their platform on here and I got to say it was more than pleasant!

I am a musician and an entrepreneur from Detroit. I used Virool to get people to see a music video I made with my friend. I was promoting it for about half a year and got over 1,000,000 people to see it.

After that, MTV.com picked up my video and I participated in the contest. Thanks to Virool and fans it helped me built, I won the contest and my video was shown on on TV on MTV channel.

I am really proud of being a Virool customer and have had the best experience working with Alex, Vlad, David, Jon, Anna and the rest of the Virool team.

They are good guys for sure.

I enjoyed using Virool
February 19, 2014

I enjoyed using Virool. The interface is intuitive, straightforward and easy to use. I actually recommended to a few friends to try and honestly there's nothing bad I can say about them.

The company is great and I would definitely give their service a try if you are looking to promote a video online.

I work for VICE, now an infamous creator of documentaries on YouTube. We used Virool for variety of projects, but most notably for our work with Intel, K-Swiss, W Hotels and Levis Jeans. We created a number of small documentaries for these brands and were able to get some exposure to them through our established audience on YouTube and our website.

We then used Virool to target people we believe would respond best to this content. What blew me away about Virool platform was during our promotion, the targeting was automatically adjusted for placements and audience that was best responding to various videos… which in the end meant: higher engagement, more sharing, more buzz and more earned media.

At VICE we are fans of the work that Virool is doing. Keep it up boys!

Virool reached out to me to share my experience about using their platform. To be frank, I loved it! I used the platform to promote various music videos for my band and here are some of the results that I got as part of my promotion. I paid for Virool views and then I got some free views as a result of sharing and comments, etc. Here are my stats
- Video #1 - Virool paid views: 250,000. YouTube views: 1,225,968
- Video #2 - Virool paid views: 50,000. YouTube views: 168,942
- Video #3 – Virool paid views: 750,000. YouTube views: 2,983,294

As you can see from my results, I was very happy with the platform and will continue to use to further promote my videos.

Highly recommend it!

Ok, I hate a ton of companies: United, AT&T, McDonalds, but DEFINITELY NOT Virool.

These guys, went out of the way to get me tickets to a Broadway show as a sign of appreciation for my business. Show me another company that does that?

Anyways, I used them extensively and spent around $75,000. I was very pleased with the results and customer support.

My advice is to reach out to Jon or Scott over there. They can help you out.

I am a CEO of a venture backed iPhone game developer and we used Virool extensively to promote various trailers of our games. I have experience working with multiple ad networks including: AdMob, Flite, Flurry, TapJoy, AdWords and others.

In my opinion, Virool tops them all. First, the transparency of the platform is hard to match. Second, real-time analytics allowed me to adjust my campaign settings in real-time. Third, customer support was always available. When I had problems, I would just call Scott and he would help me set everything up.

I would highly recommend them.

Fraud
August 20, 2018

I don't know who is writing positive reviews, but this company looks like total fraud. I wanted to try out short campaign with 100$ and see how it goes. But support guy in the live chat convinced me to pay 300$ + gave me 150$ bonus. Ok, nice.

BUT at the moment I've paid 300$ this guy immediately disappeared from the chat! A little strange strange, don't you say? So you interested in clients ONLY before the pay you? Great attitude.

After 24 hours from the start of the campaigns stats were still 0. I mean views, impressions etc. I've wrote several emails to the support but received no answer. After that I've asked for the refund, and still haven't received any answer from them.

Awful customer support, if to be more exact there is no support at all. If I don't get any feedback about my refund request in the next few days, I'll make YouTube video with the overview of my Virool experience and share it with whole Internet. Be sure, I'll make that video viral :) I already created screenshots + downloaded invoices (just in case). Hope it doesn't come to that and you'll get my money back.

Virool came across my desk when I was looking for marketing service to utilize in my Kickstarter campaign. We developed a mask that allows you to control the type of dreams that you have. Through PR outreach, we generated a ton of buzz and almost met our goal of $30,000, but with less than 15 days left we were around $4k short. Our team started looking at variety of services out there: SocialSpark, PromotedTweet.com, Virool, PR Web, etc.

We played around with a few tricks during those 15 days, but honestly the most effective one was Virool. Since our campaign is heavily centered around our video, having a platform like Virool to promote it was key to our success. We killed it in the end and raised $47,900.

I've recommended Virool to friends and family, and would also recommend it to anyone looking to promote a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign!

I work at a large media agency in Australia and represent clients such as VW, Qantas Airlines, the government of Australia, A&E TV Network and others. We recently began using Virool and I've been extremely pleased.

We just wanted blog distribution for our videos and my account manager, Kenn, was able to set it all up for me. Through Virool, we were able to get our client's videos on virtually all WordPress blogs that have WordAds on them. Also, they were able to secure us viewership on 9Gag and Cheeseburger network sites.

We are looking to spend over $300,000 with them and I highly recommend their service. The team there is great!

I’ve been a power user of Virool for 8 months now and I use their platform to promote music videos for the music label that I work for. We’ve done around 30 music video promotions to date with them and spent well over 6 figures. Customer service and team there always seems to impress us! Highly recommend.
