I need an experienced affiliate-marketing specialist to take my footwear brand from “no program” to a fully functioning, revenue-generating channel. You will design the program architecture, recommend (and set up) the most suitable tracking platform or network, and build out every element needed for launch. Once the infrastructure is in place, your focus shifts to growth: sourcing and onboarding quality partners, equipping them with on-brand banner ads, email copy, and social media creatives, then coaching them toward meaningful sales targets. Clear performance reporting and optimisation cycles are expected so I always know which affiliates are thriving, which need support, and where commissions or creatives should be tweaked. Success to me looks like a smooth launch within the first month, an active roster of engaged affiliates by month two, and a steady uptick in tracked sales thereafter—proving the program quickly pays for itself.
