Looking for your next podcast? You’re in luck!
Jakub Kubicka’s “The Daily Marketer” podcast explores the human element behind different marketing strategies, laying it out for listeners in real speak — no smoke-and-mirrors marketing talk allowed. Recently, TUNE’s VP of Global Marketing Brian Marcus had a chance to join Jakub to discuss great relationships in affiliate marketing. Both episodes of their two-part conversation are now available to stream or download.
In the first 36-minute episode, Jakub and Brian discuss everything from the birth of performance marketing to getting granular with networks, including:
- How the concept of performance marketing started, from the affiliates willing to take on CPA to the industry’s origins in search engine marketing
- Why affiliate marketing is an industry based on taking calculated risks
- What it means to be a “value-added pre-seller”
- Where publishers and brands play tug-of-war over customer loyalty
- Why there is a fear of disintermediation and sharing the “secret sauce”
- Advice for advertisers leveraging niche blogs, influencers, and publishers
And if that’s not enough to reel you in, here’s how Jakub described their conversion:
“Affiliate marketing is often considered the red-headed step-child of digital marketing, and puts a bad taste in many peoples’ mouths. Brian smashes this misconception to pieces and provides a very compelling case for anyone who wants to grow their customer base through what could be one of the best return on investment (ROI) channels for any startup.”
