All you have to do to win the competition is to ’take the team’ somehere nice :-) Download the photo I took (not a brilliant photographer I will admit) of some of the team, print it out and take a photo of yourself and the team somewhere special.

‘Special’ can mean many things. It is a bit like beauty – in the eye of the beholder (although I think that we will all agree without a doubt that we have a beautiful team). Special can mean your office, your local pub, a football  game, your living room, christmas dinner…. The person who gets to decide who’s entry is the most special is our special guest judge Andrew McCormick, who is the Features Editor at Revolution.

To enter the competition you need to email your photo in .jpeg format to admin@cjblog.co.uk. You need to include your name, company and email address with your entry.

The closing date for entries is mid day on Thursday 22nd January.  The winner will be informed by email and will receive a trip to Commission Junction University in 2009 – (trip consists of entry to the event, flights to the US, transfers to Santa Barbara and hotel accommodation for the duration of the event).  See our competition terms and conditions here

Good luck and I very much look forward to seeing some entries.

We were asked to take part in the BBC show ‘Election’ in which a group of ten children battle it out over a series of challenges designed to show the best leader. The eventual winner receives a one to one with the Prime Minister.

On the agreed day, at the agreed time (agreed by who…nobody knows), a group of children came to the ValueClick offices tasked with teaching us two dances – the Hula and the Haka. This, in itself, was weird enough. The fact that the two teams then had to do a ‘dance off’ in front of Jonathan Dimbleby tipped the experience to verging on the surreal.

So, for this week’s moment of zen, here is some of the Commission Junction team performing the worst Haka in the history of the world. Needless to say our New Zealand General Manager was appalled, and Tom Leadbetter (also a Kiwi) has brought a great shame upon his nation.

Here it is: Haka
For those of you who truly want to punish their eyes this is the whole, painful ‘dance off’: Hula and Haka
And for those of you with too much time on your hands this is the entire section of the programme featuring Commission Junction: Are you sure?
(I don’t want to ruin it for you but the Hula wins by unanimous vote)
Enjoy :-)
