Background

Strategy

  • Via email and monthly calls, eharmony utilised a Publisher Opportunity Report conducted by their CJ contact to provide a gap analysis, examining publisher opportunities that were previously missed.
  • Based on the knowledge of their unique program and goals, eharmony’s CJ contact provided a curated list of relevant search partners and recommendations.
  • After reviewing the list and resources put together by their CJ contact, eharmony selected a premier search and content partner to test with to diversify their publisher base.
  • Once they had negotiated terms that were beneficial for both parties, eharmony worked with the new partner to launch a 30-day search campaign with TM+ rights to promote an exclusive discount code.
  • Once the test was complete, eharmony saw continued organic promotion from the new partner, leading to 100% growth in revenue the following month.
  • Based on the results of the campaign, eharmony is looking to grow the partnership further.
