How brands initiate deals and request partners on MutualMarkets.

The co-marketing request is designed to help the user—here, Ashley at Ford—do the following:

  • Select and prioritize preferred partners for specific campaigns.

  • Define the parameters of the proposed deal, including advertising units, exclusivity, and competitor considerations.

  • Preview the full request before submission, showing exactly what the partner will see, including the requester bio, company overview, and detailed product description.

  • Automatically confirm a deal when a request is accepted, while withdrawing other pending requests.

  • Simplify communication with potential partners by including the marketing strategy and all supporting documents directly within the request.

Why requesting multiple potential partners for a single deal matters to Ashley at Ford.

MutualMarkets transforms a once manual, time-consuming, and costly process into an accessible, efficient system—giving Ashley the confidence and flexibility to secure the right co-marketing opportunities.

With this functionality, Ashley can:

  • Reach multiple partners at once, maximizing the likelihood of securing a deal quickly while prioritizing preferred partners.

  • Simplify a previously complex process that once required private networks, weeks of negotiation, and significant expense, now achievable in as little as a week.

  • Make faster, more confident decisions with all partner and campaign details pre-populated and visible.

  • Connect strategy to execution by including marketing strategy and supporting documents within the request, so partners can act immediately.

  • Reduce risk and increase efficiency by automatically confirming accepted deals and withdrawing other pending requests, eliminating duplicated effort and uncertainty.

  • Make co-marketing more accessible by lowering costs and removing barriers, enabling broader participation across campaigns.
