What manufacturers need

A co-op program only works when it is used, and only matters when you can verify it.

Allowances that dealers never claim, rules written for print, and no clear view of what ran. These are the problems we are built to fix.

01

Make the program usable

Clear eligibility, creative requirements and evidence rules that a busy dealer can follow without calling your channel team.

02

Expand suitable digital activity

Decide deliberately which digital channels, fees and placements your program supports, and what proof each one requires.

03

Increase dealer participation

Outreach, onboarding and campaign help that turn available funds into local advertising for your products.

04

Verify execution

Independent review of advertising evidence against your rules, with exceptions flagged and reported across the network.

How it works

From program rules to a submitted claim.

The same five steps apply whether we run the campaign or review someone else’s work.

01

Understand the program

Rules, eligible activities, approvals, deadlines and the evidence each requires.

02

Plan and approve

Campaign plans and creative prepared for the approvals the program asks for.

03

Execute or review

We run the campaign, or review the advertising another team runs.

04

Report

Execution and exceptions reported against the program, separate from performance.

05

Support submission

Documents prepared and the claim submitted to the correct recipient.

Compliance, explained

Approval, delivery and cost are three different records.

An approved mockup doesn’t prove the ad ran. An invoice doesn’t prove the ad met the rules. We check each requirement against the record that actually supports it.

Approval
Shows a specific version was accepted by the program.
Delivery
Shows what ran, where and when.
Cost
Shows what was paid, and which charges the program covers.

Marketing performance and program compliance are related, but one does not establish the other. We report them separately.

Our approach

Clear about what we verify, and what we don’t.

We describe exactly what each review establishes and which evidence it relies on. Where a record is missing, we say so.

  • Claims assistance ends at submission. Approval and payment remain with the program owner.
  • Compliance review is available without us running your advertising.
  • Every program is evaluated on its own current rules, country and partner tier.
  • No promises about reimbursement amounts or approvals.
