📣 PIN-UP’s Three Marketing Directions
Stase says PIN-UP Partners’ marketing is divided into three directions:
- 🎪 Events: offline marketing at conferences
- 📱 Content: PIN-UP’s own social networks and organic traffic
- 📰 External media: interviews like this one
Being open on social media helps PIN-UP grow its audience and gain affiliates as it enters new countries. Content has to be very unique to attract new affiliates. ✨
🌟 How PIN-UP Turns Affiliates Into Influencers
PIN-UP works closely with affiliates, and they want to promote PIN-UP because it gives them the best offers and conditions. 🤝
Image matters too. PIN-UP hosts its own closed private parties, not sponsorships, and people want to be part of that community. 🎉

🎪 Why Events and Big Booths Work
PIN-UP is at almost every conference, which takes heavy resources: buying the best positions and preparing booths and media activity. 🎪
Events are effective because the team can act as account, sales and marketing managers at once and get great results in a single day. “It’s direct networking.” 🤝
Their booth guide brings the most popular conference zones, like photo and networking zones, into one area, with a screen to show the company’s pros in one video. 📺
She was impressed by the quality of the audience at SiGMA Dubai compared with SiGMA Belgrade the year before. For more on SiGMA, read Eman Pulis, founder of SiGMA. 🔗
🔄 Trends and Plans
The biggest trend for Stase: change your marketing strategy quickly and be a fast decision-maker. I agree, after running my agency for years. ⚡
PIN-UP’s next big plan was a contest for affiliates combining events and online activities, with winners invited to its private event. 🏆
She planned to attend all SiGMA and Affiliate World conferences, plus iGB and other events. Most PIN-UP affiliates use SEO and organic traffic. 🌱
🤝 What to Look for in an Affiliate Network
Her top quality: transparency. Fun matters too: lots of partner events and a comfortable working relationship. 🤝
Her advice for a better world: stay positive and try to understand people, because there’s no good way to do business with a negative mind. ❤️
