Affinity acquires Affilizz to strengthen AI-powered affiliate monetization worldwide

‍

Affinity, a global adtech company, has acquired Affilizz, a French startup whose AI-powered shopping widgets have become a staple for leading publishers in France. Affilizz, known for helping media brands turn product recommendations into revenue, will now plug into Affinity’s global affiliate platform, NucleusLinks. Through this acquisition, Affilizz’s products will merge with NucleusLinks’ broader product suite and global reach, making affiliate operations simpler and more profitable for publishers worldwide.

Affilizz is recognized as a leading technology for turning articles into immersive shopping experiences using artificial intelligence. It suggests the most contextually relevant products for a given page or article, including price history and comparisons, pros and cons per product, and matches each publisher’s voice perfectly. This helps it scale the affiliate revenues for 122 leading media groups, spanning more than 200 publications in France, including Qwant, Reworld Media, Clubic, CMI France, Webedia, among others.

NucleusLinks works behind the scenes, increasing publishers’ affiliate earnings by 30-120% while also automating their operations. Affilizz is the visible part on the frontend – creating highly engaging shopping experiences for users and increasing engagement rates for publishers by 2-4x. This combination brings AI both in front of and behind the curtain for publishers.

Increasing revenues from existing affiliate businesses is critical for publishers challenged with a decline in traffic from search engines. Needing to make every click-out count, while working with stretched resources, a clever suite of AI tools can help them focus on their core strength – creating the best possible content for their audience.

Affilizz team members, based in Lille and Paris, will join Affinity’s NucleusLinks team and their technology will be integrated into the broader NucleusLinks platform. This tech will then be made available to NucleusLinks’ global client base which includes popular names like Microsoft, Vox Media, Ziff Davis and more.
