I’ve been with Acceleration Partners since April 2019, so over three years now. I’m currently a Senior Manager sitting on the APAC team.
My advice would be to focus on thinking about how to add value to the client’s affiliate marketing programs. Some possible areas include strategic partnerships, innovative campaigns and any process enhancements or optimizations.
The APAC region is a highly diverse market and the affiliate marketing landscape here can be more complicated than those in the US and Europe.
One strategy may work well in Australia, but not in China or Japan. Each country has its own market nuances for running an affiliate marketing program, not to mention the different languages across the region.
I was surprised that communication quality and process efficiency are not compromised by not seeing team members in person. We have various ways to stay connected and aligned about information.
With each team member playing their part well, we are able to make the processes work and ultimately produce great outputs for our clients.
You can see more tips on how to manage teams remotely, on the AP blog.
One interesting thing about me not seen on my resume is that I’m a big fan of One Piece, a Japanese manga series. It is thrilling, touching, inspiring and amusing at the same time.
