Posted by Hannah on July 14, 2011 in Opinion

The rise of mobile in affiliate marketing is a hot topic on the eConsultancy blog today, after Matt Swan offered his latest findings on the growth in the space, building on his previous analysis back in March under the premise that 2011 was set to be the year of mobile commerce.

Affiliate Window has released their mobile sales data to shed some light on the situation, and the results throughout the second quarter have been encouraging for those retailers and affiliates looking forward to the big mobile pay day.

Alicia’s GeeknRolla Wrap-Up

Posted by Jenny on April 23, 2010 in Experiences

Coming into GeeknRolla, I thought it would be like a lot of other tech events – the same people, same content… but Mother Nature switched things up.  Due to the volcano, there were people from all over the world stuck in London attending, and there were so many last minute changes to the agenda that the event felt very fresh and was full of new faces.

My first thought when I entered was “Woah! This is much much bigger than I’d anticipated!”  The crowd was surprisingly attentive and interactive, and the quality of the speeches was incredible too – they weren’t sales pitches at all, but rather really useful content from very smart experienced people. Just the way I like it.

My Top 3 SXSW Lessons

Posted by Alicia on March 25, 2010 in Experiences

I recently returned from SXSW Interactive 2010 and I am wiped… but I feel even more inspired and excited, and cannot wait to do it all over again next year. Below are the Top 3 things I learned in awesome Austin.

1. Much of the action isn’t in the actual conference, but in the serendipitous encounters in bars, the streets, and the lounges of the conference hall. It pays to say ‘Hi’ to everyone, you never know the person that could turn into an interesting lead or business contact. For instance, I met the lovely Eliane Fiolet from UberGizmo who came to watch my panel and got to attend The Flaming Lips concert with the very fun Josh Guttman from Surphace. Among many others, Evan Cohen from foursquare, SEO Whiz Tony Adam, and mediagazer’s Megan McCarthy were also a joy to meet.
