Affiliate networks serve as the technical and operational backbone of affiliate marketing. They provide the platforms that track referrals, manage links, attribute conversions, process commissions, and ensure transparent reporting between advertisers and publishers. By centralizing these functions, networks make it easier for brands to launch affiliate programs quickly and for publishers to discover, join, and promote multiple offers within a single ecosystem.

Affiliate agencies, by contrast, focus on strategy, execution, and ongoing program management. They work directly with brands to design affiliate program structures, recruit and vet high-quality publishers, optimize performance, and enforce compliance with brand and regulatory standards. Agencies also analyze data, refine incentives, and scale partnerships, acting as an extension of a brand’s internal marketing team.

Together, affiliate networks and agencies create a structured and scalable partnership model. Networks provide the infrastructure and access, while agencies deliver expertise and growth strategy. When used in combination, they enable advertisers to run efficient, performance-driven programs and allow publishers to engage with trustworthy brands under clear, well-managed terms.
