Unanimis – the UK’s largest independently owned exclusive ad network – today announced its acquisition of Global Direct Media, a leading UK CPA Affiliate network.

The acquisition will further strengthen Unanimis’ leading performance network, Response, by offering advertisers full-service campaign planning opportunities across their online display and affiliate budgets.

The recent e-consultancy Affiliate census revealed that only 30% of affiliates deemed the recession as a threat to affiliate marketing, which shows confidence in this ever growing industry.

With a strong reach in the US and Europe, Global Direct Media brings its expertise of running the UK’s only non-fixed fee CPA affiliate network, which has proven to be the prevalent model in the US and will play a pivotal role in Unanimis expanding into these markets.

Damon Reeve, Unanimis’ CEO/Co-Founder, said “The current economic climate has resulted in stronger than expected growth for our performance divisions, Unanimis Response and Lead Generation.”

“We’re delighted with the Global Direct Media acquisition as it primarily meets advertiser demand for de-duped full-service campaign planning, allowing us to compete more directly with Yahoo! APT, Platform A, and Microsoft Digital Solutions.”

Unanimis offers affiliates access to a wide range of premium brands which 40% of affiliates stated as most important to their ongoing business, according to the e-consultancy Affiliate Census.

Jim Banks, Head of Global Direct Media said “We are excited to be part of Unanimis. We’ve seen a shift in marketing budgets into more integrated performance based solutions. Working as part of Unanimis, the Global Direct Media team provides more exclusive offers for our affiliate base, increased distribution choices for Unanimis clients and a greater rounded solution for new advertisers keen to take advantage of new and innovative opportunities.”

This is the first of many new pan-European countries to be promoted.

Portugal is a market with around 114,000 Facebook users, in case you were thinking of using that method of promoting the offer. The population of Portugal is a little over 10 million so around 1% of the Portugese population are using Facebook Ads so this is only likely to increase over time.

Incentivized traffic is permitted as is PPC, social media (Facebook Ads), contextual and organic search (SEO). Currently there are no creatives for e-mail or display (banners) but we will add these as soon as they become available.

There are a choice of landing pages, end users can win an iPhone, win a Macbook Air or win a Nintendo Wii.

The lead pays out $3.50 on submission of a PIN code via a Mobile Terminating Flow (MT) which means the end user is sent a PIN and completes a form on the Celldorado Web Site.

The payout is actually in Euros so if there are significant fluctuations of the USD or the GBP against the Euro then the payout to affiliates could be more or it could be less. Global Direct Media will use the average exchange rate published by Oanda to determine the payout for affiliates.
