Six categories, six winners, announced on 06 August at ThinkTank APAC:

⭐️ ThinkTank Rising Star

Most affiliate programs don't fail because of bad tactics.

They stall because the strategy that worked in year one is still running in year three.

The affiliate channel moves through stages. What drives growth at each one looks completely different.

We've mapped the full lifecycle from building foundations through to sustaining long-term performance. Including the signs your program has outgrown its current strategy.

Affiliate programs don't grow in a straight line. Learn how to identify your program's lifecycle stage and what to do at each one to keep growing.

ThinkTank APAC is returning to Sydney and this year's judges have something to say.

We put two questions to the pane ahead of the APAC Network Awards.

What makes genuinely excellent work? What does the industry still talk about too little? And what are they actually looking for when they judge?
