Affiliate management: building and running partner programmes

A good affiliate programme is a sales channel that only costs money when it delivers results. We build your affiliate or partner programme, recruit the right publishers, work with affiliate networks and look after your partners personally – with fair terms, strong creatives and clean tracking.

01When affiliate management makes sense

When partners should sell.

  1. a. You want to launch an affiliate programme. Commission model, tracking, creatives and first partners – set up properly from the start.
  2. b. The programme runs, the partners don't. Lots of sign-ups, little revenue: activation and personal support make the difference.
  3. c. You want to scale through networks. We know the affiliate networks and negotiate the right terms.
  4. d. White-label and B2B partners are growing. Partners selling your product under their own brand need a dedicated contact.

02What we take over in affiliate and partner management

Programmes that perform.

  • Building affiliate programmes & commission models
  • Partner and publisher recruiting
  • Working with affiliate networks
  • Terms & negotiations
  • Creatives, landing pages & email templates
  • Tracking, reporting & payouts

Affiliate marketing works when both sides win: the company only pays for results, and the partner earns fairly on every sale, lead or sign-up. That takes clear terms, creatives that work in each market, and someone who is easy to reach.

Q.01

What is affiliate marketing?

In affiliate marketing, partners – known as affiliates or publishers – promote a company's products and earn a commission for each sale, lead or sign-up. For companies, it's a performance-based sales channel.

Q.02

What does an affiliate manager do?

An affiliate manager builds the partner programme, recruits and activates partners, negotiates terms, provides creatives and keeps an eye on tracking and payouts.

Q.03

Affiliate network or in-house programme – which is better?

An affiliate network brings reach quickly and handles tracking and payouts. An in-house programme gives you more control and direct relationships with your partners. A combination of both often makes sense.

Q.04

Which industries is affiliate marketing suited to?

Any business model with clearly measurable conversions – for example fintech, real estate, e-commerce, lifestyle & wellness and digital platforms.
