Changing the Game in Affiliate
The European Affiliate Awards are judged by a diverse panel of respected leaders from across the industry, from network founders to performance marketers, publishers, and tech innovators.
Affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful, and misunderstood, forces in digital performance.While it drives billions in online revenue and connects some of the world’s most creative minds, it’s often overlooked, underestimated, or unfairly criticized.That’s why we created the European Affiliate Awards: to shine a light on the people, platforms, and programs making a real impact, and to build a year-round hub for the European affiliate community.
Our Mission
The Awards aren’t just about trophies, they’re about transformation. Our mission is to redefine how affiliate marketing is seen and celebrated across Europe.To recognize excellence, elevate the industry’s reputation, and build pride across the affiliate marketing landscape.We believe:Great affiliate work deserves public recognition.Transparency and innovation should be rewarded.Community matters more than competition.Whether you’re an advertiser, publisher, agency, or solo performance expert, this platform is built for you.
An European perspective
This is a pan-European movement. While the Awards may happen in one city at a time, the vision is bigger: unify, connect, and uplift affiliate professionals everywhere.We’re not just hosting a one-night event. We’re building a movement that reflects the diversity, creativity, and ambition of affiliate marketers across Europe.The Awards will rotate across major cities. with our first edition launching in Amsterdam. But the mission is bigger than a location. It’s about unifying a fragmented industry and showing what affiliate marketing can achieve at its best.

The Founders
Founded by Industry Insiders
The idea came from inside the community. Robin and Sjef saw an opportunity to lead by example — and give the affiliate world the recognition it truly deserves.
The European Affiliate Awards is an initiative by Robin and Sjef — two professionals with deep roots in performance marketing and a shared belief that it’s time to change the story around affiliate work.
From the start, their goal was clear: to create a platform by the industry, for the industry, combining expert insight with transparency, accessibility, and a touch of flair.
