“We issued a call for tenders and conducted a benchmark with several other affiliate platforms. Affilae was the only one to meet the brief’s budget constraints and offer a shared compensation between publishers. The great strength of Affilae is that the tool evolves with us; our capping constraints are communicated by Marine to the dev teams, and adjustments are deployed quickly!

I appreciate the collaboration because there is listening, trust, and exchange; it’s smooth. Our project was ambitious: convincing the cooperative to launch the affiliate program and making it a recurring lever of our online strategy. The results went far beyond our expectations, and it is with great pleasure that we continue the adventure in 2024 with Affilae.”

“The trust that the brand places in us, allows us to fully exploit the possibilities to energize the program.

Thanks to their open-mindedness, we are encouraged to propose innovative strategies, which are then refined based on the results obtained.

From the start of the program, this test & learn approach has enabled us to adjust our strategy to better meet JouéClub’s objectives. The brand’s flexibility and adaptability are major assets that make our work particularly stimulating.”
