Why partners matter

Partners do the work. Connect360 makes sure it works.

Connect360 doesn't make marketing tools. Its partners do: the AI tools and creative teams that write your ads, make your videos, send your emails and bring buyers back. Connect360 picks the right ones for your brand, measures what each one adds, and pays them only when they deliver.

Choosing the right tools

Top 5 things to look for in an AI marketing tool

Whatever you're buying, ask these five questions. Here's how Connect360 answers each one for you.

  1. 1

    Proof it works for businesses like yours

    Not a case study or a dashboard the tool reports itself. Real lift, for brands of your type and size.

    With Connect360Every partner is rated on your brand's own results, measured against a holdout that no tool reaches.
  2. 2

    It fits the tools you already use

    Your store, ad accounts and email platform, sharing data instead of working in silos.

    With Connect360Partners are certified to one integration standard and connect to Shopify, Meta, Google, TikTok and Klaviyo through Connect360.
  3. 3

    What you pay is tied to what you get

    A subscription you pay whether it works or not puts all the risk on you.

    With Connect360Partners earn a performance fee only when they hit their locked target. Miss, and they forfeit it.
  4. 4

    It protects your brand

    Your voice, approved claims only, platform rules respected, and you own everything it makes.

    With Connect360AI creative is checked against your brand kit and ad-platform rules before it runs, and your content stays yours.
  5. 5

    It gets results fast, and someone is accountable

    Quick setup, a clear ramp-up, and a plan when results slip.

    With Connect360One onboarding, a 30-day ramp-up, early warnings, a 7-day tuning window, and a replacement if a partner still misses.
Why it's hard to do alone

Finding the best tools yourself takes months and real money.

With more than 15,000 marketing products to choose from, testing them properly means trial subscriptions, setup time, ad spend for every test, and a way to tell real lift from noise. Connect360 has already done that work, and keeps doing it at the level that matters: your brand's own results.

Rated at the brand level

Most AI marketing tools grade their own work. Connect360 rates every partner on how it performs for each brand it serves, so a tool's rating reflects real results for businesses like yours, not its marketing.

Partners compete for your business

Partners are ranked against others in their category on measured lift. Placement follows results, so the partners working for you are the ones earning it, every 30 days.

Matched to you

Connect360 matches you with the right partners, and keeps matching.

You don't pick from a catalog and hope. The AI engine matches partners to your brand, keeps the ones that perform, and saves you the time and money of finding them yourself.

FAQ

Partner questions from brands

How are partners rated?

On results Connect360 measures itself: each partner's lift over a holdout for every brand it serves, scored against a locked 30-day forecast. Partners never report their own scores.

Can a partner pay for a better ranking?

No. Placement and ranking follow measured results. A partner earns more placements by performing well for brands like yours.

Can I ask for a specific partner?

Yes. Tell us when you join the pilot. Connect360 can match you with a partner you ask for if it serves your category and plan, and it's measured like every other partner.

What happens if a partner misses its target?

It forfeits its performance fee for that period. It gets an early warning and a 7-day tuning window. If it still misses, Connect360 recommends a replacement, and nothing changes without your OK.

Why is the directory empty?

Connect360 is pre-launch. A partner is listed only after it passes certification, and founding partners are being certified for the pilot now.
