Beyond Publishers: Building a Practitioner-Powered Affiliate Programme
The Challenge
Wild Nutrition, a premium supplements brand known for its Food-Grown formulations and focus on women's health, partnered with Vervaunt to build a more strategic, scalable affiliate programme. The goal was to drive high-intent new customers, elevate visibility across trusted wellness publishers, and turn Wild Nutrition's practitioner community into an active, scalable part of the channel.
The Strategy
A full-funnel approach combined a practitioner programme with targeted educational exposure across authoritative publications, while also targeting customers at the bottom of the funnel via cashback and closed user groups.
Execution and Innovation
A standout innovation was the practitioner-led performance strategy.
Results
Wild Nutrition and Vervaunt implemented a full funnel approach, diversifying income streams from across the programme.
Judge's Verdict
"A strategically distinctive and credible entry that successfully evolved its affiliate programme beyond traditional models into an expert-led ecosystem."
"Thoughtful understanding of the wellness category, seamlessly balancing educational content, editorial credibility, and lower-funnel conversions."
