Publisher Spotlight: Lead Generation Partners

The OutPerform Podcast

 
On this quarter's Publisher Spotlight episode, Cassandra Scarbeck and Vikki Danielson, managers on the Publisher Development team here at Acceleration Partners, take a deep dive into performance partners who help companies drive high-value leads on a Cost Per Action (CPA) basis.

Cassandra Scarbeck joined Acceleration Partners in June of 2016, managing affiliate programs for some of AP's largest clients before transitioning onto the Publisher Development team. Prior to AP, she worked on the affiliate network side of the industry supporting a number of affiliate programs.

Vikki Danielson has worked within digital marketing for the past 15 years, holding various roles at affiliate networks and demand generation platforms as well as managing SEO, display and social channels for B2B and B2C brands. She even worked as a publisher writing online dating profiles, a venture that helped her understand the inner workings of how to monetize a website and navigate the nuances of the different tracking platforms and technologies available to publishers.
