After months of anxious nail-biting for the shortlisted finalists (Azam included!) the Performance Marketing Awards are over for another year. Last week’s ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London’s Mayfair was a fabulous event with hundreds of publishers, merchants, agencies and network staff turning out in their bow ties and posh frocks to celebrate the very best in affiliate marketing.

Six members of the Azam team attended this year, and with nominations in five categories we had high hopes of walking away with a clutch of sparkling new trophies to put on the shelves at Azam HQ. There were smiles all round when the judging panel announced that our hard-working Paid Search Marketing team had been Highly Commended in the Best Lead Generation category!

 

 

We’d like to take this opportunity to pass on our thanks to the organisers Existem for another top notch event, and to congratulate all of the lucky winners.
