THE CHALLENGE
MGID’s challenge is finding the right-fit partners in a competitive, fast-moving performance marketing space. ASE brings together the kind of audience we want to reach — engaged affiliates and agencies looking for new performance channels. We aim to have meaningful conversations, understand what our partners are looking for, and explore how we can work together to deliver results. It’s about building connections that lead to long-term collaboration.
THE SOLUTION
Over the years, we’ve built a system that works. We secure our Meet Market table and upgraded our booth early to maximize visibility. Our setup is always designed to drive engagement - from live demos to strong on-site branding - and we make sure our most experienced team members are there to hold meaningful conversations. We’ve gone from simply attending to building a strong, intentional presence. Now, it’s all about preparation, smart booth design, and making sure we’re telling the right story to the right people. One of our biggest success stories started with a quick chat at our Meet Market table - that lead became a major advertiser working with us across multiple markets to this day. That combination of preparation, presence, and people help us cut through the noise and drive consistent results.
THE VALUE
ASE continues to deliver strong ROI. We consistently generate over 100 qualified leads per event, many of which turn into long-term partnerships. Several high-value advertisers and publishers first connected with us here. In terms of revenue, ASE has contributed to six-figure growth annually, making it one of our most impactful event investments. Affiliate Summit has also helped us expand MGID’s presence as an AI-powered global advertising platform by connecting us directly with performance-focused partners. It’s where we’ve identified strategic growth opportunities, stayed ahead of market trends, and built relationships that have directly contributed to our business development across new regions and verticals.
