Use Cases
Launching a New Offer Promotion
An affiliate campaign manager uses the web interface to set up a new ad campaign for a recently acquired affiliate offer. This involves defining the campaign objective (e.g., conversions), configuring ad sets with specific targeting parameters, uploading diverse ad creatives, and linking to the pre-lander or direct offer page, ensuring the tracking pixel is correctly implemented for performance measurement
Scaling Profitable Ad Set
A media buyer leverages the platform to identify and scale winning ad sets. This involves monitoring real-time performance metrics in the dashboard, adjusting daily budgets, expanding lookalike audiences, or duplicating high-performing ad sets into new campaigns to increase spend while maintaining a positive ROAS for their affiliate portfolio
