About Affiliate Operators
Affiliate Operators is a fractional affiliate management agency, led by an operator (Archie) who has worked on both sides – as the affiliate and as the brand. Experience across all major networks – CJ, Impact, Awin, Partnerize, and others.
Why choose me?
I’ve been on both sides of the affiliate table, which gives me a competitive edge in identifying the reasons why your brand is not being picked up by affiliates, as well as tools and connections to help your program grow.
Profound knowledge of AI systems and processes help me deliver results faster than bigger agencies, with a tailored approach to your business – your USPs, your brand story, your audience, and what partners should say about you.

FAQ
What does the free audit actually cover?
A thorough analysis of your affiliate program, covering cohort performance, partner mix, commission structure, creative library, and competitive positioning. You get a detailed report on recommended next steps focused on measurable results, followed by a 30-minute walkthrough call.
Do you work with brands on any affiliate network?
My deepest expertise is in CJ Affiliate, Impact Radius, Awin, and Partnerize, but the audit and management frameworks we use apply across all major networks. I’ll tell you upfront if a network is outside my wheelhouse.
What brands do you work with?
Any DTC brand with an existing affiliate program that isn’t performing to its potential.
A healthy affiliate program can generate around 15% to 20% of brand’s overall revenue on DTC. If your program is not there yet, there are structural opportunities to grow it. My role is to find and show them to you.
How is pricing structured?
Project engagements are fixed monthly fees + performance incentives (where applicable) for a defined scope and duration.
My work and methods are fully transparent, with no hidden markups.
