Football Fanatics Poker Tournament @ Affiliate Summit Announced

by Missy Ward

Football Fanatics just announced their Inaugural Poker Tournament taking place during Affiliate Summit 2009 West.

How very appropriate that Football Fanatics is sponsoring a Poker Tournament, given the fact that Football and Poker are very similar, in my opinion.

On any given hand, just like any given Sunday, anyone can win. 🙂

Doterati is Central Florida's association for interactive marketers, media and the tech community. They provide community networking, education and professional development and inspire the digital society here in Orlando.

Last night, Doterati held their first Holiday Bash at the Monkey Bar in downtown Orlando. It was filled with networking opportunities and was loads of fun. I wound up coming home with a wine gift basket that I won in a raffle that was held. (I never win anything!)

If you're a Central Florida marketer, I urge you to become a member of Doterati. Click here to find out more about what they have to offer.

ShareASale’s “Under The Stars, Like Totally” Party @Affiliate Summit

by Missy Ward

ShareASale Under The Stars

ShareASale will be hosting another one of their famous parties at Affiliate Summit 2009 West. This one is sure to be a hit as they break it down 80's style.

Whether you were a yuppie, a punk or a new waver, a preppy or something else back in the 80's, you will, like totally, have a blast. They'll be like, appetizers, booze (and my favorite, spiked punch!) and lots of 80's decorations and party favors.

80's attire is optional. So pull out those LaCoste shirts, Michael Jackson gloves, plastic bracelets or whatever else you wore back then and bring them on with you to Vegas. After all, who's really going to notice you wearing that outfit on the Strip anyway? 😉

The ShareASale “Under The Stars, Like Totally” party is taking place on Sunday, January 11th from 8:00pm-Midnight at the Rio Hotel in the Brasilia room. For an invite, contact Brian Littleton, CEO of ShareASale.com (brian /at/ shareasale /dot/ com)

This is one that I will definitely be going to! Fur Sure!

PS — it's my birthday that weekend — buy me a drink 😉

Izea Advisory Board Meeting, December 2008

by Missy Ward

Entrepreneurs and anyone who has worked for a startup, can sense it happening.

It is that moment in time where you become aware that a catalyst has been unleashed. Your company, that you’ve put your heart and soul in, is about to transform.

And, you know exactly what’s in store for you.

I know this phenomenon very well as I’ve had the good fortune of working for a few startups that have undergone this curiosity. I’ve also witnessed it in my own company.

In many cases, it was a singular event that sparked the metamorphosis – a tipping point, if you will.

To be a part of the aftermath is extraordinary.

This is how I felt during the Izea Advisory Board meeting this past weekend.

Ted Murphy, CEO of Izea has assembled a powerhouse of a board, including Michael Brito, Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Jim Kukral, Neil Patel, Wendy Piersall and Jeremy Schoemaker.

One could almost feel the energy in the Izea Conference Room from the collective brainpower behind the barrage of ideas being hurled at Ted. I am humbled to be part of such a great team and hope that my contribution vis-à-vis affiliate marketing proves beneficial.

Getting a thorough understanding of where Ted wants to take SocialSpark.com was exciting. It is evident that they are at the threshold of being unstoppable when it comes to monetizing social media.

Their recent Kmart campaign is proof-positive that SocialSpark’s online marketplace can clearly connect advertisers with bloggers and create buzz. I'm looking forward to the other great brands that are being brought on board.

If you haven’t checked out SocialSpark.com, now is the time to take notice as they are undoubtedly onto something extraordinary.

Here are some pictures of the Izea Advisory Board Meeting and Dinner which was at Taverna Opa – the place to go to in Orlando for Greek food and fun.

And really… what is Ted Murphy, if not fun?
