Why your assumptions are wrong and how we can prove it
Advertisers have spent years deploying their marketing budgets using a blend of what they ‘know' works and what ‘seems' right. In a post-COVID, recessionary world, more digital inventory will be created than ever before and budgets will be slashed. As old assumptions are challenged, brands will look to maximise their budgets like never before. The channels that succeed will be those that can demonstrate value throughout the purchase path, not just on the traditional last-click focus of the affiliate channel. In this session we’ll share how the affiliate channel is well placed to tackle the challenges brands will face in the coming months and why affiliate marketing offers a safe place to invest.
