Linkfire SaaS Marketing Platform to Partner with Amazon Music
Linkfire has signed a new marketing and affiliate agreement with Amazon Music.
The new agreement will further support Linkfire’s position as a leading marketing platform for music and entertainment. Through the new agreement, Amazon Music’s partnership with Linkfire will cover multiple touchpoints of fan interaction across its vast and growing discovery network.
Additionally, Linkfire’s affiliate agreements monetize traffic when consumers sign up to a digital service provider or transact through a smart link. The new agreement with Amazon Music supports the monetization of Linkfire’s traffic.
“We are proud to announce this multi-year affiliate agreement with Amazon Music. Stronger affiliate collaborations enable the growth of our traffic commissions, as the majority of consumer connections still remain unmonetized.
— Lars Ettrup, CEO and co-founder at Linkfire.
“This agreement further strengthens our global market position within entertainment discovery and also supports our strategic ambition to further increase traffic monetization. In 2021, Linkfire connected 1.6 billion consumers to music and entertainment services and this agreement means that more fans across the globe can find the content they love,” added Lars Ettrup.
The release says that Linkfire will provide updates on the financial impact of the new agreement in its forthcoming financial reports.

Relevant news: Amazon is increasing Music Unlimited plan prices for Prime members in the U.S.
Starting next month, some customers of Amazon’s unlimited streaming music services will be paying more.
Two weeks ago news of the change comes as Amazon recently increased the price of Prime, the first time in nearly four years. The monthly fee went up from $12.99 to $14.99 and the annual membership increased from $119 to $139. The e-commerce giant said the reason for the increase was due to the continued expansion of Prime member benefits and a rise in wages and transportation costs.
The price of Amazon Music Unlimited for non-Prime members remains unchanged at $9.99 per month. The upcoming changes mean that Prime members will no longer get a $2 discount when paying for Amazon Music Unlimited on top of their regular Prime subscription and will now just get $1 off when compared to the price for non-Prime members.
Amazon Music Unlimited offers 75 million songs in lossless HD quality, millions of tracks in Ultra HD and more.
