Performance · Influencer & affiliate

Influencer and affiliate marketing, measured like media.

Influencer marketing usually gets judged on reach and vibes. Run properly it is a performance channel with creative rights attached, and the creative rights are frequently worth more than the post.

The asset is often the
usage rights

A creator post reaches their audience once. The same content, licensed for paid usage, can run as ad creative for months and frequently outperforms studio production. Brands that negotiate rights upfront get two channels for one fee; brands that do not pay twice.

We treat creators as a creative supply chain plus a distribution channel, brief them properly rather than sending a product and hoping, and measure with codes, links and holdouts instead of screenshots of engagement.

Affiliate programmes get the same discipline: sensible commission structures, clear terms, and active policing of coupon and brand-bidding abuse that quietly bills you for demand you already had.

What we run

  • Creator sourcingIdentification by audience fit and genuine engagement quality rather than follower count, across India and the Gulf.
  • Briefing & rightsClear creative direction plus negotiated paid-usage rights, so winning content can be scaled as advertising.
  • MeasurementUnique codes, tracked links, landing pages and holdout comparison to estimate genuine incrementality.
  • Affiliate programme designCommission structure, cookie and attribution rules, approval processes and terms that prevent obvious abuse.
  • Partner recruitmentContent publishers, comparison sites, cashback and coupon partners assessed on incremental value.
  • Fraud & abuse controlMonitoring for brand bidding, coupon leakage, cookie stuffing and last-click hijacking of demand you generated.

Programme types

The partner channels

Different economics, different measurement, all held to incrementality.

P

Creator content

Paid creator work whose primary value is often licensed ad creative.

  • Sourcing & vetting
  • Creative briefing
  • Usage rights
  • Performance testing

P

Affiliate publishers

Content and comparison partners driving genuinely new demand.

  • Commission design
  • Partner recruitment
  • Content quality review
  • Incremental assessment

P

Coupon & cashback

Useful for conversion at the margin, dangerous for margin if unpoliced.

  • Strict terms
  • Coupon leakage control
  • Brand bidding rules
  • Attribution limits

P

Ambassadors

Longer-term relationships that build recognition rather than one-off spikes.

  • Selection criteria
  • Ongoing content cadence
  • Community building
  • Performance review

How we run it

How partner programmes run

Terms first, then partners, then continuous policing. The policing is what protects the margin.

Design the economics

Commission rates and creator fees modelled against contribution margin, with rules about what counts as an attributable sale.

Write defensible terms

No brand bidding, no coupon extension abuse, clear attribution windows, defined content standards. Vague terms get exploited quickly.

Recruit selectively

Fewer, better partners assessed on audience fit and incremental potential rather than a large roster generating noise.

Brief and license

Proper creative briefs plus paid usage rights, so winning content becomes scalable ad creative rather than a single post.

Measure and police

Codes, links and holdouts to estimate incrementality; monitoring for coupon leakage and brand bidding; partners removed when they are simply intercepting existing demand.

The commercial model

We are not looking for a recurring retainer.
We want a percentage of the sales we create.

Globosoft works as a growth partner, not a monthly line item. We agree a baseline, build and market your ecommerce, and take an agreed share of the incremental sales that follow. If your revenue does not move, our fee does not either.

0 retainers

No open-ended monthly fee for the growth engagement. The commercial deal is tied to sales, not to calendar months.

% of sales

An agreed percentage of the incremental revenue we generate, measured against a baseline we both sign off before work starts.

1 shared goal

Everyone in the room is paid by the same number: the revenue and contribution margin your store produces.

Questions

Ecommerce questions from India & UAE

The questions that come up most often in the first conversation.

Do influencers actually drive sales?

Some do, many do not, and follower count is a poor predictor. The reliable value in most programmes is twofold: genuine incremental sales from creators with real audience trust, and licensed content that outperforms studio creative in paid media. Both need measurement rather than assumption.

How do we measure influencer impact?

Unique discount codes, tracked links and dedicated landing pages give a floor. Because much creator impact is not last-click, we add holdout comparisons, running creator activity in some regions or periods and not others, plus watching blended CAC and direct traffic. It is estimation rather than precision, and we describe it as such.

Are coupon and cashback affiliates worth it?

Sometimes, at the margin, but they need tight terms. Left unpoliced they intercept customers who were already buying, bid on your brand terms and extend expired coupons, billing you commission on demand you generated and paid for elsewhere. Strict rules and active monitoring are non-negotiable.

Can you run creator programmes in Arabic markets?

Yes. Gulf and Egypt creator ecosystems have their own norms around content, disclosure and commercial expectations, and Arabic-first creators frequently outperform English content for regional audiences. We source and brief accordingly rather than porting a global playbook.
