For many marketers, the thought of managing an affiliate program in-house, is highly appealing as it allows brands to retain control of all the day-to-day aspects of program management. From strategy to execution—you’re in the driver’s seat. Although appealing in theory, the thought of hiring an experienced in-house affiliate expert coupled with the internal stakeholders’ own limited knowledge of the channel, may make outsourcing affiliate program management seem like the only viable option.

And if you’re with a legacy provider, their protectionist behavior keeps channel execution directly out of marketers’ hands. However, Partnerize holds the opposite view. We fundamentally think differently about the client’s ability to manage their own affiliate program in-house.
