FlipGive was selected for Awin’s July’s 2017 publisher spotlight because of its unique platform that combines cashback and fundraising in a singular experience. FlipGive has performed particularly well with Awin advertisers like AliExpress, Etsy, HP and StubHub.

Global affiliate marketing network Awin has made a strategic investment in influencer marketing platform Tailify to foster commercial collaboration and expand influencer reach for its partners.

Shopicks was selected for Awin’s June 2017 publisher spotlight because of their one-of-a-kind shopping platform that allows users to save their favorite items from any ecommerce store, all in one place. With more than 10 million products saved from over 32,000 stores worldwide and an average 1 million new products saved each month, Shopicks has performed particularly well with Awin fashion brands like Missguided, SHOWPO, Zaful, and Pretty Little Thing.

Global affiliate marketing network, Awin, has secured a Strategic Partnership with Commission Factory, to offer its clients greater reach to Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

The Association of Creative Industries estimates the craft supply market at approximately $44 billion in the US alone. As such, Etsy Studio - a newly launched and distinct affiliate program by Etsy in the US - represents a truly exciting partnership for publishers on our network looking to offer consumers a single destination for everything DIY.

International clothing brand Superdry, has migrated its Australian program from APD to exclusively partner with global affiliate marketing network Awin, aligning with the rest of its programs.

eMarketer, a top market research company part of the Axel Springer family, and IBM compiled a report on US digital media usage for 2017. The report includes stats and illustrations covering social media, video viewing, smartphone and wearables usage figures.

What better way to start a new chapter as Awin then with a new environment? Last week Awin moved into our new headquarter located in Potsdamer Platz, the heart of Berlin’s newly developed business district.

Missguided exclusively migrated their program to Awin in April 2016, so we took the time to catch up with their team to learn more about their network experience, the impact the migration has had on performance, and their strategy goals for 2017.

Awin’s mobile data is drawn from over 3.5m network transactions each month across 2,100 advertisers spanning the retail, travel and telecoms sectors. Our top consumer brands include HP, Etsy, Hyatt Hotels, and Missguided.

Recently, Awin has been discussing one of the online tracking world’s most debated topics this year – how do you balance reach and accuracy in cross-device tracking?

Since its launch back in March 2015, our Opportunity Marketplace tool has been empowering publishers to share their available affiliate exposure opportunities to advertisers in order to form closer collaborations between the two.

As the go-to shopping guide for Chinese consumers looking for the hottest deals from top global brands, 55haitao has become the fastest growing US-based Chinese deal site to target Mainland Chinese cross-border shoppers.

Snapchat is the fastest growing social network, growing to 100 million daily active users in just four years. However, last week Instagram launched their new Stories feature, an unashamedly similar feature to Snapchat Stories, as both allow users to post photos and videos sequentially, and are available to view for 24 hours.

It’s been more than a year since Awin launched the affiliate industry’s first cross-device tracking solution and became an active part of the cross-device phenomenon. I use that word specifically, because over the past year I have been stunned at how widespread the discussions have become across the online industry about the virtues and pitfalls of cross-device tracking.

In a boost for online marketers, Pinterest recently announced that affiliate links are again allowed on the platform after improving their spam detection system. This follows a ban 18 months ago which was implemented after the social network claimed that affiliate links were being abused by spammers, blighting the user experience with irrelevant pins and broken links.

Compliance in affiliate marketing serves as more than simply removing publishers engaging in unethical or non-compliant activity. It contributes to the growth of the channel by providing reassurance to advertisers that their brands will be protected, therefore increasing participation and investment. It also enables new technologies to work within the channel by ensuring that current publishers are treated fairly – for example, ensuring that existing affiliate cookies are not overwritten by publishers that engage in retargeting.

Last night, the performance marketing industry gathered together to celebrate at London’s prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel.
