Birthdays always make us a little nostalgic. They remind us of where everything started, how much has changed over the years, and which things are still worth holding onto.
Now, Adsterra celebrates its 13th anniversary. Looking back, we've launched new ad formats, entered new markets, welcomed thousands of partners, and helped advertisers and publishers scale their businesses. Despite all the growth, one thing hasn't changed, and it’s the principles we've built Adsterra around.
That's exactly why this year's birthday campaign is built around one idea: Stay close to your Essence – grow far beyond wealth. We believe long-term success comes from keeping the mindset and values that helped you get there in the first place. Revenue charts and growing volumes are important, but what are they without the idea?
What drives your affiliate style?
No two affiliates work the same way. Some won't launch a campaign without checking every metric twice. Others trust experimentation above everything else. Maybe you're the person who discovers profitable GEOs before everyone starts talking about them. Whatever your approach is, it probably says more about you than you realize.
Take "What's Your Essence?" quiz
Intrigued? Good, because we've put together a quick interactive quiz for affiliates, publishers, advertisers, and anyone who enjoys the industry. Forget complicated marketing questions or optimisation maths. Instead, you'll answer a series of fun questions about your habits, choices, and how you usually tackle challenges. Along the way, we've also hidden practical optimisation tips, product insights, and a few unexpected extras.
When you finish, you'll receive your personal Essence Card with one of our Mighty 9 affiliate archetypes that matches your style. No spoilers here since discovering your type is half the fun.
Show off your Essence
After completing the quiz, download or screenshot your Essence Card and share it with your audience.
Post it on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or X before August 31, tag Adsterra, and use #AdsterraEssence.
Everyone who joins the social challenge gets a chance to win $100. We'll randomly choose one winner on September 2, and the prize will be paid using the winner's preferred payment method.
More birthday gifts
The quiz also gives you automatic access to our main anniversary giveaway. Before you begin, simply enter the email connected to your Adsterra account (make sure the account is active).

Over thirteen years, we've seen affiliate marketing evolve countless times. New trends appear, technologies change, and traffic strategies come and go. What stays relevant are curiosity, consistency, smart decision-making, and strong partnerships. Maybe those qualities define your Essence. Maybe you'll discover something completely unexpected. Either way, there's only one way to know.
