Wow — truly speechless!

Two months ago, we couldn’t have dreamed of pulling this entire Affiliate Workshop Series off in such a short amount of time. Yet, here we are, two months later — five fantastic speakers, three successful sessions, over 2,000 registrations, and hundreds of attendees.

What inspired this series in the first place, you ask? Well, given COVID-19’s massive effect on consumer behavior (and Digital Marketing budgets everywhere), we teamed up with some of the top Media Buying leaders in the industry for a three-part Workshop Series to help Marketers through these hectic times.

This trending, platform-agnostic series surpassed all expectations, providing extremely tactical, direct to-dos Affiliates and Performance Marketers could run with as soon as each workshop ended. From data-driven lists of top-performing offers and verticals to completely open and honest Q&A forums, this was definitely a can’t-miss series.

Didn’t get a chance to make any of the sessions (or looking to re-live or share the experience)? No worries — we have all three recaps ready for you below.
