Our Journey To becoming an Award-Winning Performance Marketing Agency
At the age of five, while backpacking with his father through the Colorado mountains, Clique founder, Brian Boyd discovered a love of the outdoors. He certainly did not realize it at the time, but
this trip would be the foundation for developing an agency that combined his passion for the outdoors, with performance marketing.
After college, Brian scored his dream job as an Affiliate Manager at Backcountry.com, one of the leaders in outdoor e-commerce in the United States. It was here he was able to fine-tune his skills and learn about both the Outdoor and Performance Marketing industries.
From the beginning, it was clear the priority at Backcountry was to build a program with "core publishers" that embodied the outdoor lifestyle. These publishers were able to communicate and reach Backcountry's target customers using influence and endemic content. It was then that Brian realized this content-first approach to affiliate marketing was a one-of-a-kind (at the time) solution for premium brands in the Outdoor Industry. Soon after, Brian began consulting for brands and retailers like TheClymb, LifeProof, and GoLite, using this strategy to deliver incredible results.
As demand for Brian's consulting services increased the need to expand and "make this more official" became evident. With the help of a friend and his own industry connections, the idea for Clique was born.
In May 2010, Clique Affiliate Marketing was open for business. Clique would offer a unique, content-first approach to performance marketing that aimed to deliver new customers and incremental sales from endemic communities. By immersing ourselves in the verticals we're passionate about, we became industry experts, allowing us to cultivate partnerships with publishers and editors committed to delivering unique content for our clients.
