MagicLinks

Influencer-brand partnerships via affiliate marketplace

Overview

MagicLinks runs a social commerce platform that connects video influencers with brands for affiliate marketing campaigns through an exclusive creator marketplace. Creators use a browser extension to generate affiliate links from their content, making it easy to earn commissions on sales driven by their videos. Brands partner with influencers to promote products and track performance via affiliate links. The company earns revenue from commissions or fees on sales generated through its links, and it runs a Creator Bonus Program to reward creators for higher engagement and sales. Distinguishing factors include its curated influencer-brand marketplace, seamless link creation via the browser extension, and creator incentive programs designed to build an active, loyal creator base. The overall goal is to help creators monetize their video content while helping brands reach authentic audiences and increase sales through influencer-driven campaigns.

MagicLinks launches AI Shelf to help brands win AI-powered product discovery with $12.3B platform

MagicLinks, a creator commerce platform that has powered $12.3 billion in gross merchandise value, has launched AI Shelf, a system designed to help brands establish authority in AI-generated product discovery. The platform addresses the shift towards AI answer engines like ChatGPT, which serves 800 million weekly users, and Perplexity. AI Shelf combines three capabilities: Commerce Intelligence for content auditing, Match Intelligence for creator casting, and Discovery Intelligence for measuring brand visibility across AI search platforms. The system leverages MagicLinks' decade of YouTube campaign data, which shows content drives revenue for over two years after publication. The launch comes as Gartner projects 25% of traditional search volume will shift to AI assistants by 2026, with YouTube now the most cited video source across major language models.
