The brand forecast for affiliate and partner marketing in 2023

The traditional marketing funnel has more recently been seen as not always an accurate representation of the way many consumers shop, as awareness, interest, decision and action are generally representative of the pre-purchase phase of the customer journey. With this, brands and retailers must then identify how to connect with customers across each stage of the funnel, and that leads them to the affiliate and partner marketing space.
