Rakuten Advertising, the leading global affiliate marketing network, announced the launch of its AI-driven Partnership Discovery solution for advertisers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market. This innovative solution, which has already transformed how advertisers find new partners in the US and UK, will empower advertisers in the Rakuten Advertising APAC network to identify the most effective publisher partners for high-performance affiliate campaigns.
In addition to its new availability to advertisers in the APAC region, Partnership Discovery now has new industry-leading search functionality that relies on network performance data to uncover valuable publisher audiences. This functionality provides advertisers with a unique solution for identifying publishers with a proven history of selling a specific brand.
“This expansion of Partnership Discovery is part of our ongoing initiative to be a leader in affiliate marketing innovation and harness the power of AI to deliver stronger partnerships with publishers,” says Nick Stamos, CEO of Rakuten Advertising. “With our vast database of transactional data, use of advanced machine learning models, and a robust AI-forward infrastructure, Rakuten Advertising is leading the way to help brands unlock efficient affiliate and influencer marketing strategies.”

Partnership Discovery enables advertisers to:

- Search by brand name to receive recommendations for publishers with a proven history of selling specific brands
- Identify publishers that reach niche audiences, such as luxury buyers, by searching for high-end brand names, allowing advertisers to tap into specific, high-value consumer segments.
