How we work

Audit → Launch → Scale

  1. 01

    Audit

    We audit your partner mix, commission structure, tracking and attribution, EPC and AOV, and where your competitors’ affiliates get their sales. You get a prioritised plan, free.

  2. 02

    Launch

    We launch or migrate on the right network: terms, tiered commissions, creative and tracking. Then we recruit and activate the first publishers, creators and communities.

  3. 03

    Scale

    We double down on what’s incremental: tier-1 publishers, top creators and communities. Commissions tuned, brand bidding policed, reporting tied to revenue.
