Following a year of record growth, including a 75% increase in revenue attributable to content partners, and a 20% increase in revenue attributable to new to file customers, the enhanced Partnerize solution is expected to drive acceleration in market share gains and capitalize on Gartner’s estimated 65% of CMO’s who are expected to increase their financial commitment to the partnership channel in 2021 over 2020.
“As a fast growing D2C brand, Our Place is focused on driving scale and sustainable unit economics by optimizing both customer acquisition and lifetime value — goals made easily accessible by Partnerize. Partnerize gives Our Place the progressive tools and service expertise we need to make the partner channel a strong source of profitable growth, implement cost-effective touchpoints across our consumer purchase path and convert our target audience at scale,” said Emily Chan, Head of Affiliate Marketing.
Unlike other acquisitions in the space, Partnerize has methodically integrated the technology from the two acquisitions, delivering an extensive global footprint, enhanced technology capabilities, best in class brand safety and compliance monitoring, and a suite of service solutions including the category’s only in-housing practice, serving all major verticals including retail, travel, telco, financial services, across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.

“This channel is at an inflection point. Marketers and partners need us to deliver on our potential and play a critical role in their overall growth strategies. Many have waited for decades for the channel to deliver the solution they need. The legacy network model has fallen short and while scale existed in the old model, it was largely a poorly veiled attempt at hiding the manual and opaque underlying business models and relied upon a small group of largely discount and promotional partners to drive conversions,” said Partnerize CEO Matt Gilbert. “With Partnerize, marketers can finally rely on the channel to fulfill its critical role, creating sustainable operating leverage and an automated, transparent, and safe subsidy to primary sales and marketing channels.”
