About

Market leader in partnership management platforms, competing against legacy affiliate networks and emerging partnership tools with a modern, full-stack SaaS approach

Impact.com is the world's leading partnership management platform, providing brands, agencies, and publishers with the tools to manage the full lifecycle of partnerships — from discovery and recruitment to tracking, optimization, and payment. Founded in 2008 by the same team behind Commission Junction, the platform supports affiliate marketing, influencer marketing, B2B partnerships, and commerce content partnerships in a single unified interface. The company rebranded from 'Impact' to 'Impact.com' in 2021 to reflect its expanded vision beyond affiliate marketing. Impact.com's core platform, the Partnership Cloud, enables marketers to automate partner discovery, contracting, tracking, engagement, and payouts. It serves thousands of global brands including Walmart, Uber, Shopify, Levi's, and L'Oreal, and has built one of the largest partner marketplaces in the industry with millions of potential partners. The platform's sophisticated fraud detection, real-time analytics, and flexible commissioning structures differentiate it from legacy affiliate networks. In the AdTech and MarTech ecosystem, Impact.com occupies a critical position as performance-based marketing continues to grow as an alternative to paid media. The company has expanded aggressively through acquisitions, including Affluent (agency analytics), Activate (influencer marketing), and Trackonomics (media analytics), cementing its position as a comprehensive partnership intelligence platform. With operations across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Impact.com is a truly global player in the partnership economy.
