This month, we caught up with Alexis Davison, Founder, A is for Affiliate.

Alexis, tell us a bit about your background.

Hey there! I’m Alexis, a self-proclaimed affiliate marketing nerd who’s been living and breathing partnerships for over a decade. My journey has taken me through the highs and lows of the affiliate world, working with everything from scrappy startups to industry giants. 

What lights me up? Creating partnerships that don’t just generate revenue but also build lasting relationships. I thrive on blending creativity with data-driven strategy to make affiliate programs the MVP of a brand’s marketing mix.

How did you get started in the world of affiliate/partner marketing?

It all started when I stumbled upon affiliate marketing during my early digital marketing days. At first, I thought, “Wait, you mean brands can grow by paying people to share things they already love? Sign me up!” I was hooked by the mix of collaboration, strategy, and analytics. 

I dove into the deep end, learning everything I could, and soon realized this wasn’t just a career—it was my calling. There’s nothing quite like watching a partnership flourish and knowing you played a role in making that happen.
