The beauty of co-marketing

Here at Storyblok, we love creating beauty. In addition to creating beautiful projects with our agency partners, we enjoy seeing beauty in the interactions with our partners. These interactions help us build amazing relationships, and what’s more beautiful than a relationship based on mutual understanding, shared values, and trust? Nothing!

In order to build such relationships, we respect the basics of partnerships where we have to give some in order to to get some. Therefore, to show our appreciation for our agency partners, we offer them many benefits, some of which include shared revenue, free license, free staff members, integrations and apps, a dedicated team, and much more. In addition, we let our certified partners enjoy a co-marketing budget of $5,000 per year in order to participate in co-marketing initiatives to highlight our collaboration. Our Partner Playbook will guide you through the process.
