CJ

Overview

CJ, the trading name of Commission Junction LLC, is one of the longest-established affiliate networks and describes its marketplace as the world’s largest and most established partnership-based performance marketing ecosystem.^[3] It serves brands, publishers and creators and promotes its scale with three company figures: more than one billion customers reached monthly, more than 14 billion interactions a year and 157 million online and offline actions driven annually.^[3]

CJ’s offering covers affiliate programmes for advertisers and agencies, a publisher network that includes influencers and fintech publishers, and support for both online and offline conversions.^[3] It runs CJU, its own events programme, and a developer portal for publishers and advertisers building integrations.^[3] It maintains a library of case studies and a media kit for prospective clients.^[3]

CJ suits brands that want access to an established publisher base and managed support. Its limitations are that it does not publish advertiser pricing, so set-up costs, minimum fees and network commissions must be negotiated, and that its public site gives few verifiable details about ownership, publisher counts or advertiser counts beyond its reach statistics.^[3]
