a4uAwards Record Haul for eConversions & VoucherCodes.co.uk

The Grosvenor House Hotel played host to the annual a4uAwards last night, with VoucherCodes.co.uk walking away with a record four awards as they became the most successful company in a4uAwards history.

After an opening speech from a4uAwards founder Matthew Wood, this year's presenter Kevin Bridges took to the stage and got the laughter flowing with his set. Throughout the evening Kevin continued to supply some hilarious gags, and the take on his younger days with his TV was certainly something many in attendance found hilarious.

Those who picked up an award this year included DC Storm, Red Letter Days, Sky, Top10.com, Credit Expert from Experian, Vodafone, Locker Room for Bodog and BLM Quantum for Haven Holidays.

Notable Winners

Other notable winners included Existem Affiliate Management, who picked up the award yet again in the very hotly contested Best Agency in Affiliate Marketing category. There were also wins for Artemis8 with Premier Inn for Best Paid Search Partnership, eBay for the Advertiser Innovation Award, and AffiliateFuture's White Label Travel Products for the Network Innovation Award

Record Breakers

eConversions, the company behind VoucherCodes.co.uk, scooped the Best Lead Generation Campaign, Best Retail Publisher and Best Travel and Leisure Publisher for their work with Hotels.com

Community Choice Awards

The Community Choice awards which were voted for by the community here at Affiliates4u.com went to Naomi Brown, who picked up the Best Affiliate Manager award for her work at Firebox.com, Julie Wood from Affiliate Window for Best Account Manager, Affiliate Window for Best Affiliate Network, and VoucherCodes.co.uk for Best Publisher.
