Furnée Brands is a boutique affiliate agency for DTC brands, founded in 2020 and based in California. We run affiliate the way a brand's own marketing lead would: as an incremental new-customer channel, not a discount funnel.
The model is simple. No retainers. No monthly minimums. We are paid a cost-per-sale on new customers only. If the program doesn't produce, we don't get paid — which means our incentives and yours are identical from day one.
We work with brands across health and wellness, CPG, food and beverage, lifestyle, pets, and subscription categories, and have deep experience building and scaling programs on Impact. For each client we handle the full program: strategy, partner recruitment, contracting and commission structures, creative and offer coordination, compliance monitoring, and performance reporting straight from the platform.
What sets us apart is who we choose not to work with. We exclude coupon and deal sites entirely, because they mostly intercept customers who were already at checkout. Instead we build partner networks around content: gift guides, product reviews, "best of" roundups, comparison pieces, and editorial commerce coverage from publishers your customers actually read. These are the placements that introduce your brand to someone who hasn't heard of it yet — incrementality is built into the program structure rather than promised by a measurement dashboard.
That content strategy does double duty. The same editorial placements that drive sales also earn authoritative backlinks and are the sources large language models cite when a shopper asks "what's the best [your category]?" So alongside affiliate, we work on SEO and LLM visibility — building the citations and coverage that compound into organic and AI-driven discovery over time.
Furnée Brands is a small, senior team. Every client works directly with people who have run performance marketing inside a DTC brand, not a rotating cast of account coordinators.
If you want affiliate to be a real acquisition channel — and you'd rather pay for results than for a retainer — let's talk.
"“Eric and his team helped us build our affiliate program from the ground up, starting from scratch and scaling it to 10s of thousands in revenue in a few short months. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to help us bring affiliate marketing online and quickly growing it to be one of our top marketing channels.”"
