How did Commission Factory build a network for APAC?

Commission Factory launched with a clear purpose: give brands and partners in performance marketing a network built for the region.

In 2011, affiliate marketing in APAC was still developing. Brands needed local support, reliable tracking, and access to quality partners who understood the market. Publishers needed a platform that helped them connect with advertisers and grow sustainable revenue.

Commission Factory helped close that gap. From the start, the focus was on relationships, performance, and practical support. That local understanding became one of the network's strongest advantages, helping advertisers and partners succeed across different markets, categories, and stages of growth.

What started as a regional network has grown into a platform trusted by brands, agencies, and partners across APAC.

 

How has Commission Factory adapted as the industry changed?

Longevity in this industry isn't something you inherit. You earn it, every year, by staying relevant.

A lot has changed since 2011. Commission Factory has worked through shifts in technology, tracking, regulation, consumer expectations, and partner models. It has supported advertisers as affiliate marketing moved from a single acquisition channel to a broader partner marketing strategy.

Every shift has meant adapting the technology, the partner relationships, and the way the network thinks about performance. That commitment is built into the platform itself. Nexus and Nexus Pro, Commission Factory's AI-powered assistants, give you instant access to affiliate marketing insights, dynamic reporting, and the latest industry trends, so you're always ahead of the curve.

 

Commission Factory by the numbers

Fifteen years of growth adds up. Here's where the network stands today:

  • More than 2,500 advertisers
  • More than 75,000 affiliate partners
  • More than 26 million sales generated for advertisers
  • More than 250 million in revenue generated for affiliates

 

What does "one platform, one team" mean for your program?

Commission Factory is built around a simple idea: one platform, one team.

For you, that means a more connected experience: access to local expertise, backed by global knowledge, shared technology, and stronger collaboration across teams.

Partner marketing works best when people, data, and technology line up. A single platform creates consistency. A connected team turns that consistency into better outcomes.

This approach gives your brand the support it needs to grow without losing the local insight that makes each market unique. It also gives your partners clearer opportunities to connect with advertisers and build stronger commercial relationships.

Fifteen years in, Commission Factory isn't slowing down.

The future of partner marketing will be shaped by smarter technology, stronger partnerships, better data, and a greater focus on measurable growth. You'll keep looking for channels that deliver performance with transparency. Your partners will keep finding new ways to influence, convert, and retain customers.

Commission Factory is ready for that future and will keep investing in its platform, its people, and its partnerships to help you navigate change with confidence.
