A wider view of growth.

Our specialist channels sit within your wider marketing strategy. We review performance media, conversion and acquisition economics to understand where to invest, what to improve and how your channels can work better together.

PUBLISHER COVERAGE & AI VISIBILITY

Be part of the content that helps customers choose.

Reviews, comparisons and buying guides help people discover and evaluate brands. Search-based AI answers can also draw on published web content, giving relevant coverage another potential route to your next customer.

We bring that perspective to affiliate and performance PR: developing publisher relationships and useful, accurate product coverage that supports both customer acquisition and brand discovery.

AI visibility is an opportunity, not a guaranteed outcome. Inclusion depends on the platform, the question and the content it selects.

FAQ

The practical stuff.

Are you an affiliate agency?

System6ix is a growth marketing consultancy specialising in affiliate and partnership performance marketing, alongside performance PR. You work directly with Tom, combining senior strategic advice with practical channel delivery.

How hands on are you?

Very. Strategy matters, but execution is part of the model. We work directly on partner recruitment, commercial conversations, optimisation and reporting.

What size business do you work with?

We focus on DTC and subscription brands, working with founders and marketing teams who want to improve customer acquisition and grow profitably. The right engagement depends on your stage, ambitions and channel opportunity.

How does this support AI visibility?

Some AI search experiences reference content from across the web. Relevant publisher reviews, comparisons and editorial coverage can create opportunities for your brand to appear in those answers. We consider that potential when developing affiliate and performance PR activity, while keeping commercial outcomes central. Coverage does not guarantee an AI mention, citation or recommendation.

Can you audit an existing programme?

Yes. An audit can be used as a standalone engagement or as the starting point for ongoing channel ownership.

How quickly can we start?

Usually quickly once access, targets and commercial context are clear. The first phase is focused on diagnosis and prioritisation.
