Linkshare Awards & Symposium Recap

by Missy Ward

I just got back from NYC where I attended the annual Linkshare Golden Link Awards and Symposium.

The Awards Ceremony was as swanky as ever. My travel group donned our glitterati or black ties and headed to the Plaza Hotel where more than 300 advertisers, publishers and partners were already networking and buzzing about who was going to take home the coveted Golden Link Awards.

I twittered each of the winners as they were announced and snapped numerous photos. Linkshare posted this video featuring all the highlights of the evening.

After the celebration, we boarded the Linkshare bus back to the Sheraton to continue on with the post-party.

The next day, a little tired but no worse for the wear, I headed down to Pier 60 for the Symposium. The day was packed with three terrific speakers including James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds; Patti Freeman Evans, Research Director for Jupiter Research and E. Kinney Zalense, co-author of Microtrends. The Dealmaker event was packed to the rim with networking opportunities and lots of great giveaways.

I heard that my name was called for a prize from Ice.com. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to receive my prize, so hats off to the runner up. Enjoy it, on me.

For The Heck of It

Missy Ward Gets Back to Her Roots

by Missy Ward

After a 20-something year stint as a blonde, I decided to get back to my roots — my brown roots, that is.

While I will not miss sitting in the salon chair every three weeks for touchups, I will miss my hair colorist. Hopefully, my grey will not be coming in any time soon.

Let me know what you think.

Take the Affiliate Survey!

by Missy Ward

NETexponent, a leading performance marketing agency is launching an affiliate marketing research study conducted from the perspective of affiliates/publishers.

The goal of this survey is to give the affiliate community a clearer understanding of:

• How best to communicate with affiliates
• What tools and information affiliates crave
• Better understanding of who affiliates are and what challenges they face

If you are an affiliate or publisher and would like to provide your feedback, I encourage you to take the brief survey. In exchange for a few minutes of your time, NETexponent will provide you with a copy of the survey results.

In addition, for every completed survey, NETexponent will donate $1.00 to Team Affiliate Marketing’s fundraising efforts for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day/60-mile walk. More information regarding the fundraising activities can be found at www.AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com.

What a great way to help shape agency best practices, strengthen affiliate relationships and help out a great charity at the same time.

To take the survey, click here.

NOTE TO AFFILIATES: NETexponent respects the privacy of affiliates and only aggregate information will be shared.
