The A4U are launching a new initiative for fashion and beauty affiliates, PerformanceIN Fashion and Beauty, to help boost their online performance through networking and knowledge sharing. We are holding a competition to win a ticket (worth £275) to this event, where we will also be exhibiting.

To be in with a chance of getting your hands on a free ticket just email us your guess of how many sweets are in our fishbowl below. The person who guesses correctly (or who is closest to the right amount) will receive a ticket to this greatly anticipated new event. Click here to find out more about PerformanceIN Fashion & Beauty from the lovely people at A4U.

Email admin@cjblog.co.uk and tell us how many sweets you think are in our fishbowl, please send your answers to us before 29th June as the bowl will be at the Online Marketing Show – and it’s number will no doubt dwindle.

Looks can be deceiving, when it comes to sweets in fishbowls, so think before you guess

It is now less than two weeks until the Online Marketing Show, part of MarketingWeek Live, kicks off. We have never exhibited at this show before but we have heard great things, so are testing the waters this year. With a focus on online digital marketing it will be interesting for us to see the audience that attends this and we hope this will be a successful show for us.

After having a look at the agenda we are particularly looking forward to the line-up for the New Media Age conference with speakers from NMA, A4U, Barclaycard, Microsoft Advertising and the IAB, to name a few. With over 80 exhibitors just in the Online Marketing Show this promises to be a good show.

If you want to come and see us we will be sharing a stand with our sister company ValueClick Media at stand B425. Also our Sales Executive, Sam Richards, will be talking at the Affiliate theatre at 4.00pm on the first day. 

Hopefully see you all there

In just under a month’s time, the a4uexpo Europe will be taking place from 7^th-8^th June at the Hilton Munich Park Hotel, Munich.

Commission Junction is a bronze sponsor again this year and our Solutions and Operations Director Daniel Powel will be part of the ‘Publisher Director GRILL!’, a popular session that began in London last year. This session will allow delegates to quiz Daniel Powel, along with other publishing directors from TradeDoubler and Webgains, for frank answers to help performance marketing and increase revenues.

Last Thursday we had the pleasure of spending a whole day with our client Argos, from their affiliate summit during the day to attending the Revolution awards with them in the evening. 

The Argos affiliate summit took place at Millbank Tower, where Argos were joined by key industry speakers and affiliates for a day full of knowledge sharing and future insights into both Argos’s remit and the industry.

The day began with Argos speaking about their recent progress and plans for the coming months. Affiliate Manager, Andy Firmin, started the day off by talking about Argos’ affiliate strategy, and was followed by Gemma Russo, eCommerce Customer Acquisitions Manager, who spoke about the developments for the Argos UK website.

David Harding, Argos then spoke about on-site optimisation and Matt Roberts, ecommerce Marketing Controller, ended the morning itinerary with a overview of developments at Argos. Continue reading →

Two weeks ago Earls Court was preparing for TFM&A to start on 1st-2nd March. We had a stand at the event which we also used to promote our sister companies: ValueClick Media, Mediaplex, Search123 and PriceRunner. This year it was delightful to exhibit the ValueClick brands together and include our sister companies, with staff from each company attending to the stand.

Our stand incorporating our sister brands

This year was also the first year TFM&A introduced the OA&A (Online Advertising and Affiliate) section, and we were proud sponsors of their Affiliate Marketing Theatre. By introducing this section we felt we were able to meet more people relevant to our industry and it helped that our stand was outside the OA&A theatre. This year proved to be busier than ever and the show gave us great opportunity to meet new contacts for Commission Junction as well as for our sister companies.
