Creator & affiliate marketing statistics
Answer-first data reports on affiliate marketing, the creator economy, influencer marketing, brand-deal rates, and UGC. Every figure is attributed to a named third-party source — we're upfront that Afflio is a new marketplace with no customers yet, so none of these numbers are ours. They're the industry benchmarks creators and brands actually plan around.
