We help fintech lenders generate explosive growth on affiliate marketing channels like Credit Karma, Experian Marketplace, LendingTree, and others.
Our focus.Consumer lenders spend $4B-$6B per year on affiliate marketing, making the channel too big to ignore.When done correctly, affiliates provide the credit-based targeting of Direct Mail, often with lower and more predictable CACs.World-class affiliate marketing execution requires the right mix of marketing & credit risk expertise. NMG's founders bring this balance with 21+ years of lending experience and 8+ years experience as executive affiliate operators.If you'd like help planning or implementing your affiliate marketing strategy, you're in the right place.This is all we do.
What we bring to the table.Relationships - We bring strong working relationships with executives and operating team members at large affiliates like Credit Karma, Experian, Bulldog Media Group, and many others. Because many affiliate partnership teams are tightly staffed, affiliate channels appreciate when we bring clients because they expect the relationship to be successful with a minimal time investment on their part.Technical know-how - Each affiliate has their own technical marketing layer (kind of like Google Adwords for search), and we're familiar with those details. Additionally, we educate your team on how to use the tools so you can run the channel after our engagement.Cross-functional expertise - Successful affiliate programs require a mix of knowledge across partnerships, marketing, analytics, credit, compliance, product and engineering. We bring that cross-department awareness to deliver all the elements required to build successful affiliate programs.Pattern recognition - Our business is 100% focused on affiliate marketing for lenders. As a result, we notice industry-level patterns and trends that can guide your strategy and tactics within the affiliate space.
