The Brands Marketplace is where you can find brands and apply to partner with them. Forming multiple partnerships helps you drive more traffic for brands that align with your promotional channels and audience. These partnerships increase revenue for you and your partnered brands. You'll need to join the Brands Marketplace before you can find and apply to brands.
