Affiliate marketing platform connecting 1.2M partners and 18K brands across Japan and Southeast Asia
FORiT operates two affiliate platforms (afb for Japan, Webridge for global markets) serving performance-marketing clients across a 20-year track record. The company is scaling governance and accounting infrastructure while adopting ChatGPT and Gemini—a pattern consistent with organizational transformation tied to cross-border expansion. Sales-heavy hiring (12 open roles in sales vs. 3 in marketing and finance combined) signals acquisition-focused growth as the firm pushes into new markets.
