Medialister, the platform connecting brands with media outlets for paid content placements, is launching its official affiliate program this week. The initiative is aimed at clients — brand managers, media buyers, content marketers, PR agencies — who want to monetize their network by referring brands to the platform.
The programme is built on Tapfiliate, a trusted affiliate tracking solution. Participants will earn a 10% commission on the value of each successful media placement. Affiliates can receive earnings on up to 100 transactions per referred client over a 12-month period from the date of the first order.
The cookie tracking system stores data for 30 days. That means if a user clicks an affiliate’s link and registers within 30 days — even if the registration occurs weeks after the initial visit — the original referrer still receives credit for the transaction.
Affiliate marketing programs like this create mutual benefit: partners are rewarded for amplifying brand awareness and driving customer acquisition, while the platform gains access to new audiences through trusted word-of-mouth. This approach supports sustainable growth without relying solely on paid channels.
“Editorial advertising is a space that still relies heavily on manual outreach and disconnected processes,” said Alexander Storozhuk, founder of Medialister. “We created Medialister to bring more structure and transparency to how brands buy media placements. With the affiliate program, we’re giving professionals a way to contribute to this shift, and earn from it.”
Launched in 2024, Medialister enables brands to discover, select and manage editorial advertising opportunities across a curated marketplace of media outlets globally. The platform focuses on non-programmatic, editorial formats such as sponsored articles, branded interviews, expert commentary and advertorial placements. With over 100,000 offers already available, it provides communications teams with transparency and control over media buying processes that are often manual and fragmented.
The affiliate program is part of Medialister’s broader effort to foster a collaborative ecosystem around editorial advertising and offer new revenue streams to media professionals and advocates of content-led marketing strategies.
