Nice job, you detective you.

It was the consumer. In today's digital world, consumers are in full control. They determine how and when to engage with brands, and they stopped engaging with ads.

Don’t worry.

With every crisis comes opportunity.

The way forward? Partnerships.

Partners can be bloggers, influencers, ambassadors, publications, coupon/loyalty sites, commerce content sites, other brands, and more...

Partners are the voices consumers trust when deciding what to purchase. Partnerships make businesses relevant, authentic, and present in the lives of consumers. That's why businesses who leverage the partnerships channel are seeing transformative growth, even growing their overall company revenue by 28 percent*.

Let's take a look at some of the best partnerships today.
