Affiliate Marketing Review from Sean Ryan
Great agency. Smart people, willing to listen and work with you to find the best solutions. I highly recommend any brand who is looking for a smart affiliate agency to work with NYMO and get the best return.
Affiliate Marketing Review from Nicholas F. Hernandez
We were looking to drive incremental sales within the affiliate channel, and they were honestly a delight to work with. They brought in new opportunities that weren’t on our radar, and most importantly they added to our net revenue of the channel while taking off the entirety of the heavy lifting from our team. So from management to prospecting to contract negotiation we just jumped on a call and received progress reports and didn’t really have to intervene much more than overall direction, which in a under leverage team is a lifesaver.
Affiliate Marketing Review from Kristina Zivkov Barclay
The team at NYMO & Co has been an exceptional partner in driving the growth of our affiliate business. They are highly attentive, knowledgeable, and consistently proactive in their approach. Throughout our partnership, they have worked hard to help identify the right partners and editors to align with our business objectives and to contribute to the success of our affiliate program.

No value after 6 months of service. Only focused on getting fees and no investment, if you are looking to grow and thrive - stay away.

Props extended to David Lachowicz and his associates for delivering a creatively executed web site and forum platform for a non-profit, public policy group. The finished product was responsive to the concept communicated, creatively designed, and timely executed. One year on, David and his team remain responsive and addresses any design feature that reduces the quality of the end-user experience with the site.
Theo Molloy's Review Sourced from Google
DMi is an amazing agency to work with. Friendly team, great communication, always on time and on budget, and - most importantly - stunning work. We've worked with DMi for almost a decade on an annual direct mail print campaign, and have always been blown away by the results, as well as their willingness to go above and beyond to integrate across multiple platforms. Looking forward to working with David and his team for years to come!

I truly value Hawke Media as a partner agency which has been working with our brand for the last 8 months. Our designated account manager Taylor Holt always goes an extra mile. She is not only an expert in her field, but she truly shows a passion for what she does and sincerely cares about a success of our brand. Also, it has been a pleasure to work with Cynthia Soowal, who supports us whenever it is needed. Thank you, Hawke Media team, for helping us every step of the way of growing our brand.

Working with Hawke Media has been a great experience! Their team is knowledgeable, proactive, and truly invested in helping clients succeed. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Taylor and Cynthia—both are incredibly responsive, helpful, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. You can really tell they care about delivering the best results. Highly recommend Hawke Media if you're looking for a reliable and supportive marketing partner!
Ethan Prochnik (Wolf)'s Review Sourced from Google
If you’re on the fence about partnering with Hawke Media, let me help nudge you over the edge. As the CEO of Kinshe Yoga—a startup brand launching innovative yoga products —I was initially skeptical about working with Hawke. With clients like Eddie Bauer, Red Bull, and Crocs, I worried we’d be too small to get their full attention.But from our very first calls, LeDoux, one of Hawke’s top executives, patiently walk us through exactly how their team could help us unlock our potential. He assured us we wouldn’t be an after thought—and proved it by negotiating a pricing plan that matched what much smaller agencies were offering for the same services.Next, we were introduced to Wakimba, Hawke’s senior media analyst. He didn’t just give generic advice from a boiler plate deck —he spent hours brainstorming and followed up with a custom strategy deck that demonstrated his deep understanding of our brand and our goals.The following week, we met with Cynthia and Sarah, Hawke’s resident social media experts. They conducted a thorough audit of our Instagram, Facebook, etc. -and then delivered a beautifully designed, 20-page custom deck packed with actionable insights—everything from color palettes and design to messaging and strategy, all illustrated with visual examples that spoke directly to our brand.Our on-boarding, wrapped up with Savannah, Hawke’s content strategist, who delivered a molecular-level analysis of our e-commerce store and writing tone. She provided yet another bespoke deck and a detailed action plan covering everything from brand storytelling and SEO to refining our value propositions. Her tagline suggestions and storytelling tweaks were next-level. In my former life I was an Emmy award-winning writer/ creator, and I honestly wish I’d known in the day —as a fixture in my writers room.Final note: Across the board, the Hawke team was smart, engaging, and fun to work with.

Daniela Escamez's Review Sourced from Google
Influencer Hero has become part of my everyday workflow. Everything I need is in one place, from discovering creators (their tools and filters are excellent!) to managing outreach with email flows and clear status tracking. You can even handle payments directly through the platform, which makes the process so much easierI also love the design: it’s clean, friendly, and easy on the eyes, no overwhelming clutter or unnecessary buttons, so no user paralysis, just what you need to get work done efficiently.They’re constantly rolling out new features, and the best part by far is their support team. They’re so friendly, and always willing to guide you through their software, take feedback, and help whenever you need it.I’d 100% recommend Influencer Hero over other massive outreach platforms, it’s more efficient, userfriendly, and genuinely supported by a team that cares.
Madden Tools's Review Sourced from Google
This was a great platform for our small business and the Influencer Hero team worked hard to help our start up get going. We will be reaching back out to the Influencer Hero team for our next marketing campaign. It saved us so many hours of trying to manage the email flows ourselves and the database they have for influencers is massive
Kiko Yin's Review Sourced from Google
Influencer Hero has been a powerful platform for scaling our influencer campaigns. It brings everything together—from outreach to onboarding—in one clean, efficient dashboard. The ability to send mass emails has made our workflow much smoother compared to relying on DMs or TikTok Shop tools. We’ve onboarded two brands with Influencer Hero so far and have been really impressed by how easy it is to run large-scale gifting programs. The customer support is also outstanding—Teresita, our rep, has been incredibly responsive and supportive every step of the way.

I want to start by saying how many agencies we have tried in the past, from large agencies, to contractors. Altered State is really a powerhouse and are incredibly creative. They created our entire website, sales pipeline and attributed over 2.3 million in new revenue to our 75+ locations within the first couple of months. I cannot be more more grateful for our lifetime partnership.

We've been working with Altered State Productions on a variety of projects with out clients. They knock it out of the park every single time. Eddie and the leadership team continue to bring new, fresh, exciting concepts to life. We've done everything from videos, to commercials, to branding projects with them and each time, they take it from initial concept to flawless execution. I couldn't recommend these guys high enough.

Absolutely loved working with The Apricots Media. Sonia and her team bring such a strong mix of creativity, strategy, and execution. Not only is the content beautiful and high quality, but they also really understand social media and how to create work that actually connects with the right audience. Everything felt thoughtful, organized, and aligned with the brand, and the communication and turnaround were amazing.

Absolutely loved working with Sonia! Gorgeous photography and amazing execution on some complex food photography shots we had envisioned. Love the different formatting so that they were ready to use in ads, social, website etc. Quick turnarounds and amazing communication. Will definitely work with Sonia again!

Here’s the estimated total monthly expenses for hiring an affiliate marketing company:
Key factors to consider when choosing an affiliate marketing agency include:
The two terms are often used together, but they serve different purposes and follow distinct performance models:
| Criteria | Affiliate Marketing | Influencer Marketing |
| Primary goal | Drive sales, leads, and measurable conversions | Build brand awareness, credibility, and audience trust |
| Compensation model | Commission-based; affiliates earn only when a conversion happens | Fixed, upfront payments for content creation |
| Performance tracking | Uses affiliate links and analytics tools to track clicks, conversions, and revenue | Relies on social media metrics such as reach, impressions, and engagement |
| Brand control | Brands typically have limited control over how affiliates promote their links | Brands provide defined creative guidelines that influencers are expected to follow |
| Cost structure | Performance-based with lower upfront risk | Requires upfront spend regardless of results |
No, brands do not need an existing affiliate program before hiring an agency. Many companies work with agencies specifically to set up and launch an affiliate program from scratch.
While a pre-existing program isn’t required, you’ll get the most out of your partnership if:
You can measure the ROI by comparing revenue generated through affiliates against total program costs, including commissions, management fees, and tools.
Unlike paid ads, costs scale with performance, making ROI more predictable when programs are managed correctly.
On the income side, companies typically track:
Affiliate payouts are most commonly structured as:
To evaluate performance, you should aim for a revenue-to-cost ratio of at least four to five times, supported by transparent payout rules and reliable tracking, to maintain profitability and long-term trust.
