There are a few sore heads here at AWin HQ this morning as last night we won both the Innovative Affiliate Network of the Year and the coveted Publishers Choice of Network at the 2009 A4U Awards. We were also Highly Commended in two categories. The first was for Julie Wood in the Publishers Choice of Account Manager category; no mean feat against stiff competition so well done Julie. The second was for AWin Analytics in the Best Use of Technology in Affiliate Marketing; recognition goes to the Design, Product and Software Development teams for their specific contributions to this fantastic addition to our toolset.

Our MD, Mark Walters, had this to say on our achievements. “Everyone in the company plays a part in making Affiliate Window what it is today and the culmination of that comes from awards, both inside and outside of the industry. Without a doubt the awards that matter most to us are the Best Companies and A4U Awards as they both feature dedicated input from our employees and the commitments we make as a business.

3 years is not long in online terms but to maintain being the Innovative Affiliate Network and the Publishers Choice of Network over that same period has been more than a little challenging. The Publisher’s Choice award is particularly significant as it’s voted for by the affiliates, and as any network will tell you, they’re a demanding bunch (and rightly so). So our sincere thanks to all our amazing work colleagues and to each and every affiliate partner who voted for us. We won’t let it go to our heads and we’ll strive to maintain being deserving of the accolades well into 2010.”

We would also like to extend the congratulations to all the 2009 A4U Award winners, it was fantastic to see so many innovative, creative and hardworking people being recognised for their roles within the industry. Hats off to Matt, Claire and the rest of the Existem team who organised another fantastic event, it really highlighted just how far the industry has come and how it continues to grow and improve. We look forward to seeing the photos later today; if anyone managed to capture AWin staff on camera please drop me an e-mail and share your pictures.

A huge thanks and congratulations again to all, we’re already hotly anticipating next year’s event!
