A few nights ago the affiliate industry got together for the 3rd A4U Awards, this year held at the Park Lane Hilton in front of a few hundred merchants, affiliates, networks and agencies.
The AffiliateFuture team had a great time and we would like to thank the whole team at Existem for another successful event - it’s a shame the awards are only once a year!
Congratulations to everyone that was shortlisted and those who went on to win the award or be highly commended.
And now on to the Blog Competition - a caption contest for the following photo of Mark Smith (CEO of TMN) from the A4U Awards:

The winner (as picked by the AffiliateFuture team) wins a nice bottle of bubbly…. Just post a comment below but they will be moderated so please play nice!
