Wow, another Affiliate Summit has came and gone.  These shows seem to creep up so quick and go by just as fast.  Next thing you know Ad-Tech will be knocking at our door.  The ECM team flew in on Saturday to spend the day hanging out, meeting up with pubs, and of course, doing the NYC thing.

We got a suite on the 49th floor of The London, which led to a great view and a great stay.  As you can see the pictures above, that was our view around our suite.  If you haven’t stayed at The London in NYC, it is a must.  Between seeing Michael Jordan, TI, Molly Shannon , and screaming little girls waiting for the Jonas Brothers, The London also serves a great spot for late night entertainment.  Every night of the show we were able to hold some private parties which led to great networking and meeting up with publishers and clients we don’t get to see all that often.

The team started out Sunday at the meet market which was nuts as usual.  Although the meet market compares to a bunch of sardines in a can, a lot of connections and networking was done.  It usually proves to be one of the best days on the floor for us and this show was no different.  Later that night we were able to have a team dinner which is always nice to get everyone together.  After dinner, some of our team went to the parties as advertised, while others headed up to the suite and held a great get together with pubs, networks, and advertisers alike.

Monday was the first day of the actual show and the ECM was up early to discuss things beforehand.  We came with a new look for this years show and it consisted of MLB quality team baseball jerseys.  Those lucky enough to get one appreciate them as much as we did.  The show started out with a bang and business was being done as usual.  After a long day at the show we all split off and went to our own separate dinner meetings, including the ASE Dinner which our very own Mike Delacruz and Thy Lam attended.

After dinner some of us went to the industry parties, which all ended up leading to the private ECM Suite Party, which everyone agreed was better than any of the other parties they attended.  After meeting and having a good time in the suite, we hopped over to the famous Faces & Names.  Here we took many of the suite attendees and met up with other industry folks to finish off a great night in NYC.

Tuesday, the team headed out to the show once again, and also held some private meetings in the suite and other venues around NYC.  This was one of our most productive days, wrapping up the show and making deals to set the future of affiliate marketing.  Instead of taking off late Tuesday night, we decided to stay an extra night, pack in a couple more meetings an take off Wednesday.  Overall, this was one of ECM’s best show and you will see some great things come out of it.

We would like to thank everyone who stopped by the suite to get to know us and have a good time.  A special shout out goes to our friends including Ian Fernando, Kris Trujillo, Nicky Papers, Prosper Guys, Reenev Guys, Victor, Jason Venters, Zac McGrath, AdHustler, Jon Fischer, Ben Louie, all pubs, and everyone else who we might have missed. We enjoyed seeing everyone again as well as forming new connections.  We will see you all at the next show!

With Affiliate Summit East 2010 coming up on us quickly, we wanted to give a quick shout out to our fans and followers. Affiliate Summit is from August 15-17th. The majority of the ECM team will be in attendance. Most of us will be coming in Saturday and will be available for meetings before the convention and throughout.

We’re grabbing a rock star suite for NYC at The London, so if you would like to brainstorm with a member of the team, grab a few drinks, let us know and reserve a spot. If you would like to personally meet with any ECM team member during the show please let us know so we can allocate time for you.  Please contact your success manager directly or send an email to Network@eliteclicksmedia.com and we will plan a meeting to help you increase your profits with us. Your business is our business. Let’s grow it. We look forward to meeting everyone and if you see any of the team walking around in ECM gear, be sure to stop us and introduce yourself!

The ECM team is back in the office after a long trip to Vegas for Affiliate Summit West.  We were very busy the entire week.  Starting out Saturday, the team arrived at the Rio, and we all met for dinner which led to playing some slots to end the night out.  Sunday was the first day of ASW and it was a good one to say the least.  Meet market was packed, which means lots of business being done.  Later that night we sponsored the IANteract dinner with Ian Fernando.  The dinner was at Craftsteak in the MGM at was absolutely delicious.  Below you will find some pictures of everyone in attendance at the dinner.

Monday and Tuesday were big meetings days for the ECM team.  We had quite a bit of people come up to the ECM Suite and talk business.  We got a lot of work ton and built on some of our established relationships.  We want to thank everyone who spent the time to meet with us, and we look forward to taking business to the next level in 2010!  Next show is Ad-Tech San Francisco in April, see everyone there!

We will be walking around in blue and white shirts with our ECM logo printed on them. We will be meeting up with affiliates and advertisers all week. If you would like to meet up with our team please e-mail us at Network@eliteclicksmedia.com and we will set up a date and time. We look forward to introducing our new network and hope to build quality realtionships throughout the industry.

The entire team will be loading the plane and heading out on Saturday August 8th. We should be at the Hilton in New York City by 3 P.M. Eastern Time. We will be in attendance Saturday thru Tuesday and heading back home on Wednesday morning. New York City, here we come!
