Once the platform has been launched, we are responsible for the day-to-day operations and relationship management of the site. We find the top US advertisers to work with, ensuring that they are on-brand with our partner, and operate as a typical publisher in an advertiser's affiliate program.
What kinds of products and deals resonate with your audience?
