Affiliate Summit East and our British party in NYC!

Last week a handful of Skimlinkers were on location in New York City for Affiliate Summit East, and our Brit-themed summer party – and NY really put on a show for us!

First, we experienced the earthquake that rattled the East Coast, and then, the looming force of Hurricane Irene that blew in just as we departed! Poor Erik in our New York office was left to fend for himself, but we did put up some shiny new signage before we abandoned him, so he was happy as Larry.

Skimlinks Places 5th in the CARE Challenge

Back in the office now feeling a little tender after a jaunt around Exmoor, Team Skimlinks scored a 5th place finish at the CARE International New Media Challenge over the weekend.

With a 5am wake up on Saturday morning, Tom J, Mark, Hannah, Jenny and Tom A arrived at the challenge base in darkness, rearing to go.

Sponsor Skimlinks & Donate to Pakistan Flood Relief

CARE International has launched an appeal to help the 16 million survivors of the worst floods in Pakistan’s history, and our Skimlinks team is trying to contribute to the cause, as we compete in the CARE Challenge next weekend.

On September 4th, we’ll be taking part in a ten hour multisport event to help CARE International, including hiking, biking and canoeing the distance of a marathon in Somerset’s Exmoor National Park, with all money raised from the event going to CARE – as they attempt to raise over £10 million for Pakistan.

DigiJoe Brings Down the House at AffSum East

Affiliate Summit East and West are over for another year, but they’ve certainly made their mark on the affiliate landscape of 2010!

Shawn Collins and Missy Ward finished up with Affiliate Summit East, and they did it on a high; with more than 3,500 attendees in New York City – their biggest turnout ever.

Blood, Sweat and Tears for CARE Charity Race

We’re a little bit crazy here at Skimlinks.

We play ping pong in our lunch breaks, Fleetwood Mac every Friday at 5pm, and our office is decorated with a deflated dinosaur, a stuffed lion and a dusty bag of salted licorice.
