Scale · Programme management
Affiliate programme management for China-to-West expansion.
Recruitment, tracking, reporting and payments, all handled by a team that knows both markets inside out.
Outsourced programme management
Your affiliate team, in both markets.
A good affiliate programme needs daily attention: recruiting partners, answering their questions, approving content, running promotions, checking for fraud and paying people on time. Most brands don’t have a team in the West to do it.
We become that team. Your partners in the US, UK and Europe deal with people in their time zone. Your team in China gets clear reporting in English or Chinese, and one point of contact for everything.
What’s included
Everything handled, end to end.
Daily
Day-to-day management
Partner approvals, communications and support, handled every working day.
Growth
Ongoing recruitment
New publishers and creators added every month, with weak partners reviewed out.
Campaigns
Promotions calendar
Offers and placements planned around Prime Day, Black Friday and local seasons.
Payments
Invoicing and payouts
We coordinate partner invoicing and payments, so you deal with one team, not dozens of publishers.
Protection
Fraud and compliance
Monitoring for fraud, brand-bidding and disclosure problems before they cost you money.
Reporting
Bilingual reporting
Clear monthly reports in English or Chinese, with next steps, not just numbers.
Already running a programme?
Start with an audit.
If your programme is live but not growing, we’ll start with an audit. We look at your partner mix, commission levels, tracking, sales concentration and the costs you might be paying twice.
You get a clear list of fixes, whether or not you hire us to run the programme afterwards.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can you take over an existing programme?
Yes. We’ll audit it first, then take over day-to-day management without disrupting your current partners.
Which affiliate platforms do you work with?
The major platforms used in the West, including impact.com, CJ, Awin and Rakuten. If you don’t have one yet, we’ll recommend the right fit.
How do you report results?
Monthly reports in English or Chinese covering sales, partners, costs and next steps, plus a regular call with your team.
Is there a minimum contract?
We’ll agree the length together. Affiliate programmes take a few months to build momentum, so we usually suggest starting with at least a quarter.
