Q: Please share a recent client success story.
We work with a large B2B program in the business service category. After launching the partnership, we were able to diversify their publisher portfolio and test new publisher categories to explore areas of opportunity. In doing so, we discovered that new adjacent publisher categories with newly exposed audiences really resonated with our client’s products, and we were able to expand the publisher's click and sale active base and overall revenue for the program.
Q: What is one unexpected opportunity for brands to scale up their affiliate marketing or partner marketing efforts?
Thinking outside the box and being open to testing new publisher categories in different stages of the funnel is key to exploring and finding new opportunities. With such a crowded publisher space, diversification is the “name of the game” these days.
