About

Principal-led. Deliberately small.

Ferndale Consulting is run by Debbie Brocklehurst, who has spent her career building and running affiliate programmes for UK and international operators. The client portfolio is deliberately limited: the person who evaluates your programme also runs it — no handovers, no junior desk.

Strict exclusivity — I do not represent direct competitors in the same market

Platforms

I have worked with all major affiliate tracking software, together with many proprietary platforms.

  • NetRefer
  • Income Access
  • Affilka
  • MyAffiliates
  • MAP
  • Cellxpert

Services

Four services.

Programmes often leak margin through bonus abuse, negative carryover and unvetted traffic. These four services fix that.

Programme infrastructure

Tracking, deal terms and daily desk operations.

  • Tracking migration with attribution mapping
  • Deal tiers, first-time depositor (FTD) validation and clawback terms
  • Daily affiliate desk management

Regulated market growth

Grow only where you are licensed.

  • Licence-aware publisher targeting, market by market
  • Market-specific creative and bonus terms
  • Localised promotion compliance

Commercial deal architecture

Protect the margin on every deal.

  • CPA (cost-per-acquisition) baselines, hybrids and revenue-share modelling
  • Negative carryover and high-roller isolation
  • Cross-product margin & baseline protection

Compliance & brand protection

Reduce licence risk across affiliate marketing.

  • Ad monitoring and breach detection
  • Affiliate KYC (know your customer) and traffic qualification
  • ASA/CAP Code compliance and takedown workflow

How we work

Start with the audit. Scale what works.

You don't need to pick a commercial model yet. We start with a short intro call, then a fixed-scope audit — the right engagement follows from what it finds. Every step is agreed in writing before it starts.

Start here

Programme audit

A fixed-scope review of tracking, deals, publisher quality and compliance, delivered as prioritised findings and a 90-day action plan.

Fixed fee scoped to programme · 2–3 weeks

After the audit

Managed programme

I run the affiliate desk end to end: recruitment, deals, compliance and monthly NGR, CPA and risk reporting.

Monthly retainer · after audit

Baseline required

Performance partnership

A reduced retainer plus a share of incremental NGR, measured against the audit baseline. Agreed only once baseline and attribution are signed off.

Retainer + NGR share · by exception

FAQ

Questions operators ask.

Clear answers on licensing, jurisdictional coverage, audit commercials and working arrangements.

Do you work with unlicensed operators?

No. I only work with licensed operators.

Which markets do you cover?

Tier 1, Tier 2 and others. I'll tell you if it isn't a fit.

What do you charge?

Programme audits are fixed-fee, quoted based on affiliate volume and tracking setup. Retainers and hybrid terms are scoped post-audit against clear commercial baselines.

Can you work alongside our in-house team?

Yes. I can own the affiliate desk outright or work with your team on deals, compliance and reporting.
