Unfortunately we did not win our nomination in the Best Use of Technology within Affiliate Marketing category of the a4uAwards last night. However, a well deserved congratulations must go out to SkimLinks who won all 3 categories that they were nominated in the a4u Affiliate Marketing Awards! Well done indeed.
It is nice to see a small company being disruptive and SkimLinks definitely seem to be doing that. It just goes to show that disruption can happen in niche sectors too, it is not just a global phenomena. Although we all hope for that globally disruptive concept, I am sure the team at SkimLinks are enjoying the recognition of their niche disruption this morning (or perhaps not, as the hangover kicks in).
Looking forward to more disruptions ahead
