Back to School Marathon 2026: Boosted Rates on 30+ Brands and $5,500 in Prizes

⚡ Higher rates on top brands

Back-to-school is one of the highest-intent retail moments of the year — parents, students and freshers refresh everything: devices, wardrobes, supplies, subscriptions and courses, all in a tight three-week window. For the marathon, participating advertisers raise their rates for publishers, so every approved order you drive between August 17 and September 7 can pay you more. No new traffic strategy required — you promote the same brands, at a better rate.
