Media Central said the marketing partnership will support its strategy of digitally monetizing its existing platforms to create sustainable, profitable media brands, highlighting that the affiliate marketing sector was estimated to be worth $12 billion globally in 2017 and is one of the largest sources of online eCommerce income.

“Affiliate marketing continues to fast track in 2020 and we are capitalizing on these opportunities while ensuring that quality, informing and entertaining content is maintained for our audience”, Media Central chief executive Brian Kalish said in a statement.

“From day one our strategy has been to digitize and monetize our traditional and established legacy publications to ensure their continued future. Affiliate marketing is one tactic we are employing that allows us to drive revenue while striking the delicate balance between not only guaranteeing the publications stay true to their ethos and report on what their loyal readers have grown to love, but also ensuring the brands are profitable”, the CEO added.
