“We are proud to have recently surpassed the 2 million sales threshold withing a year, for the first time in our company’s history. After coming very close to reaching this remarkable goal in 2022, 2023 saw a significant advance in intermediated sales. This growth allowed us to surpass the 2 million sales milestone just before the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year, traditionally the most fruitful period for the eCommerce industry. Performance is deeply embedded in the 2Performant culture and is a core value for both our team and our users. The collaboration between these two pillars contributes to the development of the platform, an ongoing process in which we constantly invest and allocate significant resources.

By expanding our ecosystem, we aim to increase the relevance of advertising content to internet users, with the expectation that advertisers’ return on investment in affiliate marketing will continue to grow,” stated Dorin Boerescu, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of 2Performant.
