Doriane Le Digabel, Traffic Manager
Adopt

Integrating Affilae into our analytics environment (notably through Alphalyr and Marketing Studio 360) gives us a very detailed view of performance, both by affiliate and by partner type. In a multi-country context like ours (France and Spain), it’s clearly a key driver of competitiveness.

Affilae is a reliable partner that combines technology, guidance, and strategy, all serving our growth. The shared documents allow us to work efficiently.

Maud is responsive, attentive, and always brings valuable ideas to the table.

Maud Elie, Account Manager
Affilae

“I’m really thrilled to support Adopt in their performance-driven affiliate and influencer program with Affilae. It’s a brand that is both promising and challenging, which makes our daily collaboration highly motivating.

What I particularly appreciate is Doriane’s openness: she is always ready to test new initiatives, allowing us to explore many different approaches. I propose, we test, we optimize… and we learn together at every step.

This is exactly what makes this partnership so stimulating: a great dynamic, a shared drive to perform, and genuine collaboration in the way we work.”
