DAVID HODGE LED AMBITOUS MARKETING CAMPAIGNS FOR OANDA

During his time at OANDA, David Hodge led a strong marketing effort by launching an affiliate programme earlier this year, inviting partners to earn up to US$600 for every qualified trader they introduce to the firm from the emerging markets.

The FX and CFD broker aimed at further strengthening its relationships with respected partners from all over the world, providing access to a custom-designed portal and robust marketing tools, effectively enabling them to introduce OANDA to a broader audience while earning one of the highest commissions in the industry.

Under the OANDA programme, each partner is assigned a dedicated affiliate manager to provide platform support and advise on their digital presence.

Affiliates can also access an effective suite of marketing assets designed to help optimise conversion, from digital banner ads to high-performing landing pages, and track referrals on the firms advanced affiliate portal.

The FX broker has also recently upgraded its Advanced Trader loyalty program in the US to offer high-volume clients the option of cash rebates.

With an OANDA Advanced Trader account, clients can now earn rebates up to USD15 per million based on their deposits and monthly trading volumes.

Alternatively, traders can opt into OANDAs core pricing model and choose to reduce their commission fees by up to USD15 per million instead, offering greater flexibility than ever before.
