2026 Silver Winner
Education, Activation, Sophistication: Hume Health’s Full-Funnel Journey
The Challenge
Hume Health, an innovator in AI-driven metabolic health, faced a classic attribution challenge in its affiliate programme. The brand's flagship Body Pod hardware requires a significant education and consideration phase before a customer commits to a recurring health subscription, meaning that the partners driving awareness and intent at the top of the funnel were not being credited for their contribution to conversions that occurred much later in the journey. Disjointed data made it impossible to take a coherent view of the customer lifecycle.
The Strategy
Hume Health partnered with Everflow and performance agency Affiliboost to build a full-funnel ecosystem that connected influencer storytelling at the top of the funnel with deep-funnel performance marketing. Everflow's platform served as the central engine, enabling tracking across every touchpoint from an athlete's educational YouTube review through to a final in-app subscription renewal.
The Work
Partners were developed as long-term brand educators rather than one-off promoters, with the programme structured to optimise the entire customer lifecycle rather than a single conversion event.
Results
The programme delivered significant revenue growth, transforming a previously dormant affiliate channel into a repeatable full-funnel system and demonstrating meaningful improvement in lead quality and customer acquisition cost.
The Judges' Verdict
Judges recognised the sophistication of the attribution approach in this entry, highlighting the Assisted Value model and the CRM integration as genuinely advanced thinking that moves the affiliate channel closer to core business value. The multi-event mapping framework was praised as technically impressive, and the lifecycle-focused approach to partner development was noted as a meaningful departure from standard affiliate practice. A strong and strategically thoughtful submission.
"A technically impressive full-funnel engine that solves the complex attribution challenges of the health-tech industry. The move to a user success model is a highly innovative approach that moves the affiliate channel closer to core business value."
