What We Do

Impact is transforming the way enterprises manage and optimize all types of partnerships. Our Partnership Cloud™ is an integrated end-to-end solution for managing an enterprise’s partnerships across the entire partner life cycle to activate rapid growth through the emerging Partnership Economy™.

Impact was founded in 2008 by a team of Internet marketing and technology experts who previously founded Commission Junction, Savings.com and LeadPoint.

From the beginning, we disrupted the industry by moving away from the traditional affiliate network model and instead introducing a SaaS technology platform for performance marketing professionals to better grow and manage all their revenue generating partnerships.
