2026 Gold Winner
Making it Easy: impact.com’s Commitment to Effortless Partnership Marketing

The Challenge
Anyone who runs a programme or manages an affiliate business will recognise the problem: platforms that add friction instead of removing it. Confusing data, baffling processes, lists of anonymous partners and complex interfaces. impact.com set out to eliminate these barriers entirely.
The Strategy
In 2025, impact.com set a single-minded goal: make partnership marketing easier to navigate, easier to manage and easier to scale for both publishers and advertisers. New features were added for both sides of the marketplace, with priority placed on smoothing the user experience, empowering customers to make clearer decisions and reducing operational barriers between insight and action.
Execution and Innovation
New AI features, including Trackonomics Essentials and Ask impact AI reduced workload and freed up team time across the platform. With more than 900+ new clients and 225,000 active partnerships in 2025, the urgency to deliver an effortless customer experience was brought into sharp focus.
Results
The company created high-impact infrastructure for growth and worked to solve deep-seated industry pain points.
Judges' Verdict
"Trackonomics Essentials and Ask impact AI are category-defining tools that delivered a revenue uplift for advertisers while saving seven hours of manual work weekly."
