You’re in Good Company
How we work
Our process begins with a thorough audit of your existing affiliate program or a feasibility study to determine if partner marketing program is suitable for your business. We then develop a comprehensive strategy and roadmap tailored to your business goals and key metrics.
To ensure that we are best positioned to be able to drive incremental growth and achieve your partner marketing goals all new clients must go through a paid 360 degree affiliate program audit or feasibility study. This sets us up for success to deliver the best results possible when we start working together on full program management services.
Our onboarding process
Setting up a successful affiliate program requires careful planning and execution. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive onboarding process designed to ensure that each new client is set up for success from day one. Unlike other agencies that jump into managing your affiliate program on day one, we take our time to really make sure we are the right agency for you.
By following our proven onboarding process, you can rest assured that your affiliate program is set up for long-term success, with a clear path to growth and profitability.
