The Performance Marketing Association (PMA) is a non-profit trade association founded in 2008. It is the only world-wide trade association representing the performance marketing industry. We are a 501(c)6 corporation. The PMA’s mission is to champion and protect accountable performance marketing. Our main goals are: To promote the growth of the industry, Help model standards and best-practices and Advocate on behalf of the businesses that comprise the performance marketing industry The PMA strives to raise the profile of performance marketing by demonstrating the value of this multi-billion marketing channel, which comprises more than 200,000 businesses and individuals. Continued growth of the performance marketing space is expected as advertisers, facing small budgets and big expectations, increasingly look to performance-based marketing initiatives to expand their business. The PMA is the first formal organization representing the burgeoning performance marketing space and offering members a means to learn, share or communicate on a global scale. The collective knowledge of the community is shared and best practices are outlined, thereby providing performance marketers with the tools, information and support they need to grow their businesses. In addition, the PMA gives performance marketers a unified voice to address issues and challenges facing the industry. The PMA investigates these issues, maintains close contact with members, advertisers, legislators and news organizations to inform and educate and provide resource materials. The association also coordinates advocacy efforts, speaking on behalf of the industry – allowing its members to be heard while still focusing on their respective businesses.
