Global affiliate marketing agency, Silverbean, has doubled the size of its team in response to growing market demand, bringing headcount in its Sydney-based office to 14.

Mark Vidler, with a background in healthcare and technology industries including a career in microbiology and industry sales experience, has been appointed as the new Head of Sales. The expansion also includes the addition of Tina Traut as Senior Affiliate Marketing Manager, who previously worked in account management at Awin Global.

Lauren Larken joined as Affiliate Marketing Manager after a stint as an account executive at Commission Factory, Mathilde Berthelot as Affiliate Marketing Executive after working for Freelancer.com and Spotz. Alice Lundgren has also stepped up to Account Executive.

"We all know it's been a financially tough year for most, but we've been able to adapt and work alongside our clients to provide growth and revenue for our services," Silverbean Vice President, Annabel Gray, said. "We are incredibly proud of the significant growth of our team, doubling our headcount and welcoming Mark onboard to strengthen our position in the dynamic world of affiliate marketing. We are now the largest specialist affiliate agency in Australia, which is a great achievement."

Since its launch in 2019, Silverbean Australia has worked with high-profile clients including Virgin Australia, IG, STRAND, and Modibodi. The agency offers traditional affiliate marketing services and brand partnerships, aiming to help brands grow their sales.

In addition to its Australian team, Silverbean has a global presence with teams in the UK and the US. The agency's work has been recognised on the international stage, being awarded 'Best Affiliate and Partner Marketing Agency of the Year' at the Global Performance Marketing Awards 2023.

The expansion of Silverbean's team in Australia is a testament to the growing demand for affiliate marketing services in the region. With a larger team and a new Head of Sales, the agency is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and deliver on its commitment to helping brands increase their sales through effective affiliate marketing strategies.
