๐Ÿ“ˆ What is Performance Marketing? Driving Results with Data

In the vast landscape of digital advertising, Performance Marketing stands out as an approach where advertisers only pay when a specific, desired action (or ‘performance’) occurs. Unlike traditional brand advertising, where payment is based on impressions or reach, performance marketing is inherently results-driven and highly measrable.

Key Concept: Paying for Performance (Information Intent)

At its core, performance marketing is a contract between an advertiser and a publisher (or affiliate) where the risk is shifted primarily to the publisher. The advertiser defines a specific actionโ€”known as the conversion eventโ€”and agrees to pay a commission or fee only when that event is successfully completed.

This results-focused model provides a high Return on Investment (ROI) because budget is allocated directly to activities that generate tangible business value.
