Topic: Internationally Managing your Campaign from a Distance
How to successfully manage an international affiliate program? How to overcome challenges related to country and culture differences, and what to keep in mind when expanding your affiliate program beyond national borders? This topic is also becoming more relevant for affiliates as they take their marketing efforts global and learn how to best work with international advertisers.
In today’s economy, performance marketing is a crucial component of companies’ overall online marketing strategy. Affiliate Marketing is essential as it has a lower CPA than other advertising channels, and it is major vehicle for increasing visibility online. We live in a Global Economy, and expanding your online activities internationally is more important than ever to be successful.

A year ago, MSLGROUP India released its first industry outlook report, highlighting such critical issues as the talent crunch, the comparatively low level of PR fees, the need for strategic and integrated communications, and the core issues hidden by the wrong perception of the industry’s size. The report sparked widespread interest and provoked much needed dialogue.
