Prove It: Measuring Affiliate Beyond Last Click

10 Sept 2026
Roundtables

The problem: Affiliate managers are under more pressure to prove incrementality, but MMM, attribution models, and internal BI often undervalue or misunderstand the channel.

Discussion points:

  • What evidence actually gets leadership to increase budget?
  • How are teams using holdouts, new-customer data and assisted conversions?
  • What do you do when MMM says one thing and platform data says another?
  • How do you separate “incremental” from “would have happened anyway”?
  • What should networks and partners provide to make the business case easier?

Takeaway: Each table leaves with a practical measurement framework, and the three data points they need, to strengthen their next budget conversation.
