Recap of the Affiliate Summit East 2018

This time our team flew across the Atlantic to New York City, in order to attend Affiliate Summit East 2018, an event that is focused on affiliate marketing.

#ASE18 is part of the Affiliate Summit event series that takes place all over the globe. The purpose of those events is to provide educational sessions of the latest industry trends and to provide a productive networking environment for affiliate marketers. As always, the event was packed with marketers, affiliates, vendors, digital agencies, networks, technology providers and traffic sources.

The Affiliate Summit East was filled with engaging presentations and panel discussions on topics that covered the latest industry trends, current market analysis, and digital advertising challenges. The keynote of the first day was about psychological targeting. Dr. Sandra Matz went deep into the topic, past the how’s and why’s, discussing how it can be used ethically. The main event of Day 1 was, of course, the Meet Market where the networking session took place.

The last two days had similar structures and were a little slower than the first day. The exhibit hall offered a chance to meet and discuss with different affiliate marketers even further. Day 2 included a keynote with Mari Smith, who was talking about what is working on Facebook at the moment. In addition to the exhibit, day 3 also included another keynote where WordPress questions were in focus. Brian Messenlehner and David Vogelpohl introduced their advanced strategies as responses to those common questions.

The Adcash team participated in the event during the first two days to meet up with other top industry players and to make new and exciting deals. We were represented by our Head of Publishers – Emanuele Pezzulla and our Advertiser Manager – Keijo Suurkivi. In their words, the event was buzzing with people looking to buy traffic, so the advertisers’ side was very busy and had many opportunities to prospect and network with new clients. Our team also had the opportunity to meet up with clients like AdCombo, Advertise.com, appthis, Yodel and Secco Squared. To sum up, it was the perfect way to end our overall productive July.

You still have a chance to catch up with our team this summer. Our Head of Traffic, Antoine Padovani, will be heading to Gamescom 2018 that takes places on August 21-22 in Cologne. You can book a personal meeting with him here!
