August 14th, 2008 – Boats, iPods and an Automobile….that’s how we got to Boston for this year’s ASE. And as we could tell from the crowd at the Westin hotel bar Sunday night when we arrived, it was well worth the trip. After a spirited dinner and short night’s sleep, we walked over the bridge to the Seaport and spread out to introduce Globalizer for the first time to an American audience.

There were many new faces at the show and of course plenty of familiar ones as well. We spoke with a number of advertisers, affiliate networks, SEM and SEO companies. While many didn’t recognize our new name, virtually all were familiar with our track record of delivering results for our clients and want to be a part of the launch of the Globalizer Network later this month. After the extremely well attended post show happy hour at the Seaport bar, we hit Grill 23 for a client dinner and then headed off to the New England Aquarium for the LeadFlash party.

Maybe I’m just old but I definitely preferred the relative ambiance of the aquarium which allowed you to actually hear what the person next to you was saying instead of just nodding through the techno beat of the latest club and hoping you didn’t miss something actually important like ‘we’re going with your competitor’. Not to mention the real life drama and wondering if the shark was going to catch one of the tunas.

August 8, 2008 – Globalizer.com (http://www.globalizer.com) has finally launched! We’ve been so busy putting ads, media buys and deals together that the launch of our corporate site Globalizer.com kept getting delayed. Just in time, for the Affiliate Summit 2008 East in Boston… Stay tuned as our global affiliate network, GlobalizerNetwork.com (http://www.globalizernetwork.com) is set to launch later this month.

June 25, 2008 Globalizer had our coming out party yesterday at the Online Marketing Show 2007 at the Business Design Centre in London. Not that there was any question, having attended the past few Ad Tech London shows as well as last year’s Affiliate Summit London, but clearly the attendance and excitement at online marketing shows in the UK has grown tremendously. The Online Marketing Show had a nice mix of affiliate networks, SEMs, consultants and of course mobile marketers. The seminars were all completely packed as attendees looked to gain any shred of new knowledge. The show was a success and we were able to make some great new contacts which will translate into some offers on the GlobalizerNetwork that you won’t find in any of the other US based affiliate networks. Of course a trip to London wouldn’t be complete without catching some good music and lucky for us, Radiohead just happened to be playing Victoria Park during this trip. A few of us checked them out and Radiohead did not disappoint. Highlights of the show included the Bends, Karma Police and closing numbers 2+2=5 and Paranoid Android. Here’s hoping some great bands are playing when Ad Tech London 2008 rolls around…
