The CJ UK team and our clients have been sprinkled with award dust. Let me tell you all about them:

You already know that the exceptionally talented Hildegunn has been nominated for the Publisher’s Choice of Account manager award at the A4U awards.  What you don’t know is that we have have worked with our clients and are shortlisted for more:

• Payday UK for the finance vertical
• lastminute.com for the travel vertical
• Argos for TWO awards -  the retail vertical and for the best use of affiliate marketing as part of an integrated campaign.

In addition – lastminute.com with CJ have been shortlisted for an NMA Award: “Championing affiliates for lastminute.com”

It is very exciting. Congratulations to all. Fingers crossed……:-) See you at the A4U Awards.

As many of you know from following Hannah’s posts, this year CJ attended and presented at the A4U Expo in Amsterdam. As well as being one of the attendees and ’stand hands’ I was also lucky enough to present a session with David Harding from Argos on a very topical subject – “Managing Success in a Downturn”. You can find a copy of the presentation here but I thought it would be helpful for those that didn’t attend if I provided a quick recap of it.

I have been somewhat remiss and for that I apologise. Life has been busy however that should not have prevented me from sharing the news that no less than two CJ’ers completed the London Marathon a few weeks back.

James Lamb and Roger Lee both trained for many months and made many sacrafices (namely beer) to take part.

Here is the race in their words:

Calling all affiliates…

Matt Bailey at i-level is running a new initiative - the ‘i-level Affiliate Surgeries’. These are open to all affiliates – you don’t need to have worked with i-level to get a place.

The first session is about SEO and Content and will be held on May 26th from 5 – 7pm at i-level’s offices in Oxford Circus. It will be run by Matt Bailey and also joining him will be Judith Lewis, i-level’s Search Director.

All details can be found here. If you want to attend you need to email matt.bailey@i-level.com. Only 30 spots up for grabs so get in early. Happy learning

I am very pleased and proud to announce that Hildegunn has been shortlisted in the Publisher’s Choice of Account Manager category in the A4U Awards. Whilst I think all of our Account Management team are completely worthy of the award it is great to see Hildegunn’s achievements recognised by the wider industry.

Here she is…..

So….all affiliates out there…..log in to your A4U account and vote for Hildegunn – I implore you

Ah it all seems so far away it almost feels that were it not for my unpacked bag it may have never really happened. So, after the delights of last week’s imaginatively titled ‘CJ at the A4U Expo Part 1′ here is the second installment. I believe I left you halfway through Tuesday, just before David Harding from Argos and Daniel Powel from Commission Junction did their session on Managing Success in a Downturn.

After all the anticipation I am now writing to you from the wrong side of the A4U European Expo in Amsterdam. Despite having got back yesterday morning I am still feeling decidedly jaded from three solid days of meetings, networking, manning the stand, and entertaining clients.
