Affiliate Summit looks to the ‘Futura’ with new, contemporary identity

Affiliate Summit has undergone a sympathetic update of its corporate identity which, according to VP Hannah Wharrier, will help it to build on its sector leading credentials and engage with an even bigger audience of professional stakeholder groups active in every corner of the world. The new identity, which will be launched at Affiliate Summit APAC is the first time the brand has benefitted from such a strategic design review since it was launched by Shawn Collins and Missy Ward, some 15 years ago.

"Walang alinlangan na ang Affiliate Summit ay ang numero unong tatak ng kaganapan sa industriya ng marketing sa pagganap" nakasaad Hannah Wharrier. "Gayunpaman totoo rin ito, na walang tatak na kayang tumayo pa rin, partikular sa gayong mabilis na paglipat, sektor na hinihimok ng teknolohiya. Bilang mga tagapag alaga ng tatak ang aming overarching layunin ay upang bumuo sa mga hindi kapani paniwala na pundasyon at upang palaguin ang impluwensya nito sa mga bagong heograpikal na sektor. Ang pagkakaroon ng kumunsulta sa merkado kagandahang loob ng isang programa ng attitudinal pananaliksik pati na rin ang pormal at impormal na mga grupo ng focus, naniniwala kami na ang bagong pagkakakilanlan ay makakatulong sa amin na makisali sa mga bagong madla at semento ang posisyon ng Affiliate Summit sa merkado para sa susunod na 15 taon at higit pa. "

Lisa Hammond, Direktor ng Marketing ng Grupo mula sa Awin, who participated in the Brand Renewal Focus Group, said: “Clearly the original look and feel of the Affiliate Summit identity has served the industry well. But as modern marketers it’s important that we keep an open mind which means accepting that there are no sacred cows. Brand Identity is visual language and I believe this more contemporary design sits comfortably with the culture of the industry and the use of colour will enable the brand to present a joined-up and coherent international portfolio of Affiliate Summit events wherever they are located in the world.”

The new logo features a contemporary extended Futura Book typeface with stylised A’s to reflect a summit or peak. The visual strap line is a reference to the latitude and longitude coordinates of Baruch College in New York, the venue which hosted the first edition of Affiliate Summit in 2003

Pay per click campaigns need to be properly planned

October 27, 2011 by Darin Carter Leave a Comment

If you want to market a product or service, the internet is the only place where you can get a large audience. All the other forms of marketing and advertising cost a lot of money. Also, there is no guarantee that you would reach the intended group of people. But with the internet, you can target exactly those people who would be interested in using your product or service. One of the best tools that are available for companies that are looking to market through the internet is the pay per click option.

There are a lot of people who think that the pay per click option is very costly and does not give the desired results. But that is not the case.

When done properly, it would generate a lot of traffic to your website and help you in creating awareness of your products and services. When you use a pay per click service, you would be placing ads on websites that see a lot of traffic and are in some way related to your products and services. You would have to pay these websites money based on the number of clicks that are generated by visitors and users.

For a pay per click campaign to be successful, you need to do proper research regarding which websites to place your ads in. It is also necessary to keep a track of the websites in which you have placed the ads so that you would know where you are getting the traffic.

If a particular website is not being effective and is not generating much traffic for you, then you need to take your ads out of that website and place it in another website that has the potential to generate more clicks.

If you have decided on going for a pay per click campaign, you need to have a proper strategy to make it successful. You can always take the help of professional marketing companies that would be able to place your ads in all the right places so that you would be able to generate a steady stream of traffic to your website. Using the right keywords and having the proper landing pages would help you in your quest for more visitors. Once a visitor clicks on your ad and lands on your website, it would be your responsibility to ensure that you keep him interested.
