Gray Harbor Digital started in June 2022. Our CEO, Brett Houck, worked with partners in the performance marketing space for over 15 years and always valued transparency. After working for multiple companies on the media buying side and native advertising, he brought his years of experience to create transparent partnerships to blend the non-traditional affiliate partnerships to work on a traditional CPA model. This opened the doors to thousands of new partners having access to affiliate marketing campaigns and brands while still maintaining their best practices and preferred KPI’s. Gray Harbor Digital continues to grow as more distribution partners and advertisers want the same relationship but on the affiliate marketing model.
