“Following a turbulent 2018 with digital scandals and data privacy dilemmas dominating the headlines, more than ever brands are in need of a marketing channel that offers stability, transparency and guaranteed return on investment. Likewise the dangers of the Facebook and Google duopoly in advertising were brought to the forefront of both advertiser’s and consumer’s minds. As the number of affiliate partnerships continues to grow, the industry provides a healthy antidote to increased advertising homogeneity through the breadth and diversity of deeply forged partnerships. We hope the report provides a clear indication of the channel’s ability to be a trusted custodian of precious marketing budgets” comments Kevin Edwards, Global Client Strategy Director at Awin.
