zanox boothzanox booth

Greetings from IAB Forum Milano. I am here with the lovely Italian team and some French and Spanish co-workers. We can already look back on one busy and successful day at Fiera Milano City .
A lot of new and existing clients stopped by our booth to talk about the latest trends in affiliate marketing as well as the zanox Application Store.
Our booth has been a magnet for networking, even long after the official part of the show. Our Spanish intra-company exchange programme participant Javier did a great job serving German beer.
We are looking forward to more interesting and productive meetings today. Visit us at booth # 23 if you are in the neighborhood.

For further information and some more pictures from the event please visit our Italian blog later today.

Posted by Valerie Ponell in Awards, Events, September 17th, 2009

zanox_dmexcoOnly a few more days till the first Digital Marketing Exposition and Conference – dmexco – starts off in Cologne. The dmexco is Germany’s leading event for online marketing and digital trends and takes place on Wednesday and Thursday, 23 and 24 September, at the Cologne Exhibition Centre. Of course we’ll be there, so if you are going to be around, just stop by at our booth (F020 F028). Our theme this year is “open network” and that’s why we decided to turn our booth into a zanox Open Campus:  So it won’t be just us presenting our features and services, but also some of our most important Application Store partners showing you how they successfully monetised their business ideas.

And, last but not least, we have something to celebrate! The leading German Affiliate Marketing Portal 100partnerprogramme.de as well the trade magazine iBusiness have just awarded zanox with the title “Best Affiliate Network in Germany“. So it’s definitely worth stopping by in Cologne for a drink and some music during our booth party on Wednesday, 23 September, at 6:30 pm.

If you want to check out the full ranking, have a look at Karsten Windfelders (German) blog post at 100partnerprogramme.de. Here is also some more information on our dmexco speaker agenda, our booth and how to get there (German only). Hope to see you  in Cologne next week!

Next generation entrepreneurship

Posted by Valerie Ponell in Events, zanox company, September 8th, 2009

mediaweek_440

As a European hub for start-up businesses, Berlin has made itself a name for hosting key events on entrepreneurship and venture capital. Yesterday, the Venture Lounge Berlin took place at the international congress center ICC and gave start-up founders, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and business angels the opportunity to touch-base. Our co-founder and CFO Heiko Rauch had been invited to talk about the early days of zanox and how the three Berlin graduates managed to turn their start-up into a truly global player before selling their successful business in 2007. On the same page, since many have asked us to let you know more about how it all started, we have added the feature “zanox: from start-up to global player – a Berlin success story” to our website. Read the full story here and find out why our founders lost a business plan competition to a sandwich-delivery service ;)

So there is a lot of knowledge our founders are happy to share with the next generation of entrepreneurs. That’s why Heiko is attending the medienwoche@IFA, the media week as a part of the Berlin-based consumer electronics show IFA. Today, he will speak on a panel on “Investors wanted: next generation entrepreneurship”. If you are around and interested, just drop by at the ICC today at 16:30.

Update: Here are some more impressions of medienwoche@ifa and the panel discussion Heiko took part in:

Alice SEO Contest: a beautiful connection

Posted by Valerie Ponell in Events, Publisher News, September 3rd, 2009

One of our most important Advertisers, a beautiful woman – and three happy Publishers. Konstantin Matern, Sascha Bartels and Andreas Gabriel today received their prize for having won the Alice SEO Contest: a meet & greet with “Ms Alice” Vanessa Hessler. Just to avoid any confusion upfront: Vanessa is not the daughter or sister of our CEO Thomas Hessler, whereas some people around here might have hoped for that ;) The Italian top model is the face of Alice, a leading German broadband provider. Check out some pics of today’s meet & greet session at our Berlin Headquarters:

Now if that isn’t a great match with Alice’s tag line “The most beautiful connection” (“Die schönste Verbindung”). Well, we think the guys did pretty well, posing next to one of the world’s most beautiful women.

For the SEO contest, the publishers were asked to rank on Google top positions with the key word “Alice internet connection”. It was  www.grundlagen-computer.de, www.datenregal.eu and www.dsl-flatrate-abc.de who came first. Congratulations to the winners!
