The challenge
What needed to change
The affiliate programme had expanded its partner count without the same discipline around commercial performance. The case record describes a need to focus on fewer relationships and more transparent economics.
The approach
How this result was achieved
-
Review partner performance
Compared the existing fifteen relationships against the operator's commercial objectives before deciding which merited strategic attention.
-
Concentrate the partner portfolio
Moved to three strategic partnerships rather than retaining the full legacy partner list.
-
Strengthen commercial terms
Introduced more structured contracts and commission economics, with lower aggregate commission spend reported in the source account.
-
Establish quarterly reviews
Used a recurring review rhythm so partner economics and performance could be assessed after the reset.
The reported outcome
The archived engagement summary reports that the programme moved from fifteen partners to three, while affiliate-channel revenue rose by 28% with lower commission expenditure. The figures are client-summary claims, not independently verified performance records.
