Silverbean the online marketing agency who are based in Newcastle have just launched a dedicated Affiliate Website.

I have worked with Silverbean for a long time and they are always helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help affiliates promote the merchant programs they look after.

The blurb on their new site says it all really;

We built this site to solely cater for you the affiliate, to make it easier for you to contact and communicate with us, obtain valuable industry information and insights, access resources and receive information about our merchants.

Silverbean look after almost 30 merchant clients including Racing UK, Brora, Fashion Union and Wiltshire Farmfoods.

Last week I had the good fortune to find myself in Plymouth I was invited down for the weekend by Hannah Swift of Existem AM and enjoyed the experience so much I stayed the week.

One of the main hurdles about extending my stay was that I hadn’t taken a laptop and there was work to be done, “no problem” said my good friend Mark Russell MD of Existem AM “we can set you up with a desk and computer in the office”. So thats how I became an insider at Existem Affiliate Management.

Working and observing at the office was a real eye opener, now I’ve been in this industry long enough to know the role of an affiliate marketing agency and have come across the good, the bad and the ugly in my time, well I have to tell you now these guys are great, (sorry Hannah honorary guy for a moment), and I’m not just saying that because they are friends of mine.

The whole team is dedicated to the cause of getting the very best out of each and every affiliate program they manage, the cogs are always turning as they provide the all important cohesion between the time honoured triumvirate of merchant, network and affiliate, its easy to see why Existem-am are dual award winners at the prestigious a4uAwards.

From an affiliate point of view Mark, Bruce (must not forget the genial Mr Clayton) and Hannah are a constant source of inspiration, they provide a plethora of voucher codes, content, creatives, best sellers lists and much more, all of which can be found on the excellent Existem Affiliate Management Blog. All that stuff doesn’t just do itself it takes a lot of bloody hard work.

Thank you Mark, Bruce and especially Hannah for making me welcome during my stay in Plymouth, I will return.
