Co-Marketing & Brand Assets

Srdjan Stankovic — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 12:17:13 GMT

Summary

Our vision is to consolidate our Affiliate, Partner, and Marketplace initiatives into a singular, robust Partnership Program. This strategic evolution moves us from managing disparate tracks to nurturing a cohesive ecosystem that maximises mutual growth and market penetration.

Co-Marketing & Brand Assets

Building a cohesive brand experience helps us build trust with prospective clients and close deals faster. To support your promotional campaigns, social media outreach, and website listings, we provide full access to our official, ready-to-use brand collateral.

Accessing the Official CAKE.com Asset Library

To ensure your HubSpot page remains light, clean, and fast, we do not host giant graphics files on this blog. Instead, you can find our fully comprehensive, up-to-date visual identity assets directly on our central hub:

👉 Explore the CAKE.com Brand Library

On our official brand page, you can instantly view and download:

The Official Media Kit: All partner-approved logos, icons, brochures, and ecosystem branding elements in one package.
High-Resolution Screenshots: Verified interface mockups for Clockify, Pumble, and Plaky to showcase in your blog posts or pitches.
Typography & Color Specs: The exact color palettes, fonts, and 3D illustration styles that define our modern workspace aesthetic.

General Partner Marketing Guidelines & Rules

When creating promotional content, hosting webinars, or managing digital ad campaigns for the CAKE.com productivity suite, please review and follow these general guidelines to ensure compliance across our partner network:

1. Brand Asset Protection

CAKE.com retains exclusive global title, ownership, rights, and source interests in all software structures, platforms, brand names, product updates, and design frameworks. As a partner, you are fully authorized to promote these tools, but you are strictly restricted from altering, reverse-engineering, decompiling, or modifying any element of the software or platform interfaces.

2. Downstream Marketing & Success Stories

We love highlighting the success of our channel partners! If an end-user client grants you promotional clearance, logo rights, or case study development permissions to advertise their software usage, those specific marketing, branding, and verification permissions are automatically sub-licensed to CAKE.com as well. This allows us to celebrate the win together and display client logos on our central marketing interfaces without requiring separate corporate releases.

3. Search Engine Marketing (PPC) Restrictions

To maintain healthy advertising ecosystems and avoid driving up advertising costs, partners shall not buy, bid on, or target pay-per-click (PPC) digital marketing keywords, Google Ads, or search terms matching or closely imitating CAKE.com’s exact trademarks, brand names, or tool titles (such as Clockify, Pumble, or Plaky) without explicit prior written consent from your Partner Manager.

Need custom marketing collateral or co-branded landing page approval? Reach out to your Partner Manager directly to review your campaign ideas!

Official Partner Badges & Verification

Showcase your verified status. As an active member of our network, you are fully authorized to display official CAKE.com Partner Badges on your corporate website, email signatures, and marketing landing pages to build instant trust with your prospects.

Badge Usage & Co-Branding Rules

When placing our badges alongside your own company assets, please adhere to our core layout standards to maintain clean visual balance:

The "Clear Space" Rule: Always maintain an even protective margin of empty space around the badge. This empty safety zone should be equal to the height of the badge itself to prevent text or other graphics from cluttering it.
Proportional Scaling: Never stretch, skew, or alter the aspect ratio of the badge graphics. If you need to resize the badge to fit your website footer or email template, always scale the width and height proportionally.
No Modifications: The badges must be displayed at full opacity in their original designed configurations and colors. They should not be used as background watermarks or text overlays.

Download Your Badges

Register & Track Leads

Srdjan Stankovic — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 09:50:16 GMT

Summary & Deal Criteria

To secure your commissions and protect your sales pipeline, every partner must register their prospective clients as early as possible.

Upon signing your partnership agreement, you will receive a unique, dedicated partner link to submit new leads to CAKE.com.

Before You Submit: Minimum Deal Size

⚠️ Important Requirement: The CAKE.com Partner Program is strictly limited to opportunities with a minimum of 20 seats on an annual subscription. If your prospect does not meet this requirement, please contact your Partner Manager to discuss alternative options before submitting.

The "First-In" Rule

Every lead must be submitted as soon as possible so our team can perform a database check. A lead cannot be allocated to your partner account if:

They are already an active, existing CAKE.com client.
They are already actively engaged in the internal CAKE.com sales pipeline.

If the lead is completely new and not currently in our system, we will instantly notify you that the lead has been approved, locking in your ownership of the account so you can confidently pursue the deal.

How to Submit a New Lead

When you identify a qualified prospect, visit your unique partner link to access our secure submission form.

Complete the Submission Form

Please ensure the following critical information is accurately mapped in the form:

Contact Information: Provide the prospect's First Name, Last Name, Business Email, and official Company Name.
Subscription Target: State the intended platform version and estimated seat count (e.g., Clockify Basic – 43 seats).
Partner Notes: Use this field to give our sales team context. Include details like your current relationship status with the lead, specific client pain points, or unique technical requirements they mentioned.

Tracking Your Lead & Closing the Deal

Phase 1: Review & Validation

Immediately after you click submit, the CAKE.com partner team reviews the data. You will receive a formal email notification shortly after confirming whether the lead has been successfully approved and allocated to your account.

Phase 2: Finalising the Sale (Activation & Invoicing)

As a partner, once your client is ready to proceed with the purchase, you must notify CAKE.com to initiate deployment and billing.

To finalise the deal, please forward the following workspace and billing details to your Partner Manager:

Workspace Details: The client must first create their workspace environment. Provide the exact Email Address used to create the workspace and the exact Company Name associated with it.
Billing Details: Complete company billing information, including the official physical Address and Tax/VAT Number.
Contract Specifics: The final finalized Subscription Plan, exact Number of Seats, and the exact Requested Activation Date for the software subscription.

Once this data is submitted, our team will issue the invoice, provision the accounts, and log the deal toward your next commission payout!

Workspace ID you can find like illustrated here:

How to Claim Your Commission (Payout Process)

Once your referred client pays their initial invoice to CAKE.com, you are officially eligible to receive your partner commission!

To initiate the payout, your company must submit a corresponding invoice to CAKE.com. To ensure your payment is processed without delays, your invoice must include the following specific details:

1. Required Line Item Details

In the "Description" or "Item" section of your invoice, you must clearly map the exact client workspace details. Please format it exactly like this:

Item: Partner Commission for [Client Company Name]
Details Required:
- Workspace ID (WS ID): (e.g., WS-98765)
- Subscription Plan: (e.g., Clockify Pro)
- Total Number of Seats: (e.g., 45 Seats)

Example Line Item: Partner Commission for Acme Corp (WS-98765) - Clockify Pro, 45 seats.

2. Clear Payment Instructions

Your invoice must include complete, explicit payment instructions at the bottom. Please ensure your Bank Name, IBAN/Account Number, Swift/BIC Code, or preferred electronic payout routing details are fully visible.
