the challenge
Building an advanced affiliate influencer program with basic tools
Harlee Siegel spent about 4-5 hours per day scouring Instagram for creators when she first started Stio’s affiliate influencer program. The program itself was hosted on AvantLink. It didn’t take long for Harlee to discover that her affiliate management platform and barebones creator discovery methods simply wouldn’t enable the program to reach its full potential.
“I’m in GRIN all day every day. It has really become the hub for me to manage the entire affiliate workflow.”
— Harlee Siegel, Performance Marketing Channel Manager at Stio
