PartnerStack launched a new data initiative in May 2023 to support ecosystem leaders and partnership professionals with actionable insights to boost their performance in today’s market. Indirect partnerships revenue opportunities have never felt this accessible — even in these shaky market conditions.
Partnerships work. Though the why is clear (together is better, almost always), the how comes up time and again — across the various industries like film, television and media, big tech, SaaS and others — that leverage it. When we talk to our customers, partnerships professionals and B2B experts, the one thing they all have in common is the desire to better understand exactly how to use partnerships to grow and scale revenue for their companies. So, to avoid painting partnerships with one broad stroke through anecdotal examples, we mined our own ecosystem for exclusive, hard data to anchor our stories in that best support partnerships at all levels.
The lab reports tell the story by the numbers so ecosystem leaders can advance their plot.
