In 2003, Affiliate Summit was founded with the purpose of providing educational sessions on the latest performance marketing issues and fostering a productive networking environment for affiliate marketers.

The affiliate marketing industry is estimated to grow at an annual rate of over 10 percent and forecasted to reach $6.82 billion by 2020, according to Forrester Research. Among Forrester’s research results, nearly 90 percent of advertisers said that affiliate programs were important or very important to their overall marketing strategy, and the majority of publishers revealed that affiliate partnerships drove more than 20 percent of annual revenue.

“The performance marketing space continues to thrive and innovate,” said Santi Pierini, CAKE President and Chief Operating Officer. “Affiliate marketing has proven to be a powerful channel marketers leverage at all stages of the customer journey. And as the customer journey becomes more complex with multiple digital marketing channels and devices, there is a tremendous opportunity for innovation in the space to keep pace with evolving habits and behaviors. CAKE is excited to be at the forefront of this evolution, empowering the growing industry with technology solutions that lead to consumer discovery, brand engagement and customer acquisition with maximum ROAS.”
