What Does Acceleration Partners Do?
In today’s fragmented ecosystem, success in partnership marketing is not just about managing a program. Acceleration Partners helps brands build the right affiliate and influencer partnerships, align them to clear performance goals, and continuously optimize for profitable growth.
Our outcome-driven approach combines strategic guidance, structured execution, and connected reporting tailored to each brand’s goals. This gives teams the clarity to understand what is working, where performance can improve, and where to invest next.
An Agency, Not a Network or Marketplace
Acceleration Partners is a managed-services agency, not an affiliate network, tracking platform, creator marketplace, or self-serve software provider. As a platform-agnostic agency, AP works with the networks and technology platforms used in client programs, including impact.com, Awin, CJ Affiliate, Rakuten Advertising, and Partnerize.
Those platforms provide the infrastructure for tracking, reporting, payments, and partner access. AP provides the strategic and operational layer on top of that foundation, designing the program, recruiting the right partners, managing execution, interpreting performance, and making clear recommendations about what to scale, adjust, or stop as the program grows.
01
Affiliate Marketing Services
Acceleration Partners manages affiliate and partnership marketing programs from strategy through execution. AP helps brands find what their program is missing, build the right partner mix, manage daily operations, measure what is creating value, and make smarter decisions about where to scale, adjust, or reinvest.
AP’s affiliate capabilities include strategy and program design, partner recruitment and portfolio growth, program management and optimization, measurement and incrementality, global and market-specific execution, and APVision-supported intelligence and reporting. Our work is designed to move programs beyond tracked activity toward disciplined, profitable growth.
02
Influencer Marketing Services
Acceleration Partners helps brands get more from influencer partnerships through two services: Performance Influencer and Paid Social. Performance Influencer builds full-funnel creator programs and campaigns rooted in strategy, measurement, and partner expertise. Paid Social extends influencer and brand content through influencer boosting, branded ads, content editing, and paid social optimization.
Together, these services help brands connect creator-led activity to clearer performance measurement and measurable growth. Our influencer campaigns have delivered results like a 5.3x ROI for DIVI’s strategic product launch and a scaled creator program that grew awareness and sales for Saje Natural Wellness.
APVision™: Measurement & Incrementality
APVision is Acceleration Partners’ proprietary reporting, analytics, and partner intelligence capability. It connects program performance, partner metrics, attribution data, cost analysis, custom reporting, and benchmarking into views that help AP teams understand what is working, where performance can improve, and which opportunities should be prioritized.
APVision GPT adds a private, AI-supported layer that helps AP teams access insights faster, streamline analysis, and reduce reporting bottlenecks. AP experts use those insights, along with partner discovery and Publisher CRM tools, to identify relevant publisher opportunities, benchmark performance, and develop clear recommendations for sustainable growth.

Our Story & Leadership
Robert Glazer founded Acceleration Partners in 2007 around a simple idea: partnership marketing should be measurable, accountable, and tied to business outcomes. Today, AP is led by a global leadership team and has grown into a distributed organization of 300+ employees across four continents. Our teams combine global scale, market-specific expertise, and a shared focus on accountability to help clients and partners create measurable value.
Our growth has come both organically and through strategic acquisitions, including Streamline Marketing (2021) and Grovia (2022) on the affiliate side, as well as Influencer Response and Volt Agency (2022), which deepened our performance influencer capabilities.
