Impact Radius, Multi-Channel Performance Advertising Platform Launches

by Missy Ward on January 11, 2010 · 4 comments

Impact Radius LogoImpact Radius launched today with its multi-channel performance advertising platform that is the first to connect advertisers and media partners directly for the delivery of performance campaigns across TV, radio, print and online media channels from a single platform.

The ability to track offline performance-based marketing campaigns is very exciting to me as it’s one of the initiatives that I really believe will finally take off in 2010.

The group behind Impact Radius has had several innovative business launches prior to this including the Commission Junction network concept.  I personally know two of them, Todd Crawford and Lisa Riolo for quite some time and can attest to their passion for performance-based marketing.

I wish them the best of luck in their new venture and look forward to seeing them kick-start some great new affiliate marketing trends.

If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.

Those of you who are “in between,” like myself, can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:

I’m really excited about Impact Radius. I love their UI and seems they have address a lot of the deficiencies of other affiliate networks.  We are launching several of our Advertisers there as we speak.

they claim to “add new ideas to existing great models”, this is true, yet there are well established giants out there with irreplaceable publisher and advertiser portfolios out there. if they really want to succeed it will take a lot of selling to bring these advertisers to them. I did apply as a publisher but sounds like very long shot.

I think there is tremendous opportunity for them. While there are fantastic solutions out there now, many do not have the capability to track off-line performance-based marketing efforts. Now granted, their platform won’t fit every advertiser’s needs, this definitely provides them with a unique selling proposition.

I’m truly excited to see how this progresses.
