With ROAS (return on ad spend) shrinking and CPCs (cost per click) rising, brands are paying more just to hold the same reach. In a market as competitive as Australia's, that becomes a race to the bottom.

The big shift:

60% of shoppers use social media to discover products.

Australia Post's 2026 eCommerce Report found 60% of Australian shoppers now use social media for product discovery, and one in two buy after seeing a product in their feed. Creator recommendations reach buyers where advertising increasingly does not.

The big shift:

Budgets are shifting toward performance-based channels.

Ad fatigue is widespread, and audiences skip or scroll past advertising by reflex. Marketers are moving budget to affiliates, where personal, trust-based content still earns attention and only costs when it converts.

The Rise of Affiliate Marketing in Australia

The Rise of Affiliate Marketing in Australia

Australia's internet advertising market reached AUD 18.4 billion in 2025, growing 11.5% year on year. As costs rise across paid channels, more brands are moving budget into affiliate marketing, where spend is tied to measurable results.

  • Growth of Social Commerce
    Short-form video and creator storefronts are turning discovery into purchase in a single session, reshaping how Australians find and buy products.
  • The Rise of Micro and Nano Creators
    Australian audiences respond to micro (10K-100K) and nano (1K-10K) creators. Their narrower reach usually converts better than celebrity campaigns and costs a fraction as much.
  • E-Commerce Affiliate Programs Gain Ground
    Amazon Australia and eBay dominate marketplace share, while retail media networks from Woolworths, Coles and Amazon have expanded quickly, giving creators more routes to commissionable sales.
  • Disclosure and Transparency Standards
    Ad Standards administers the AANA Code of Ethics and the ACCC enforces the Australian Consumer Law, so affiliate and creator content must disclose commercial relationships clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The setup timeline depends on your campaign goals, readiness of assets, and target markets. Generally, once the brief is aligned, we can move into partner sourcing, technical setup, and content preparation within a few weeks. Our regional presence helps streamline this process, but we always prioritize quality partnerships and compliance over speed.
Campaign duration varies depending on your objectives. Some clients run short-term campaigns around product launches or seasonal pushes, while others opt for ongoing programs to continuously acquire new customers. We typically recommend allowing enough time to gather performance data and optimize for long-term results.
Affiliate Marketing is performance-based, so costs are often tied to actual results rather than fixed fees. That said, investment levels can vary based on your industry, campaign complexity, and region. We work closely with each client to define a structure that aligns with both budget and business goals, ensuring cost-efficiency without compromising impact.
