NetX Most connected 2010 Winners Erica and Val

First let me apologize to Erica and Valerie for the tardiness of this post. Back in August of 2011 I ran a little contest among the affiliate marketing experts that work at NetX. Our folks were asked to use their influence within the affiliate community in order to drive participation in our AffiliateBenchmarks research study. We tracked the results using unique links for each person and awarded the winners with cheesy cool trophies and free lunch for a month.

Erica Myones (right of photo) won the Most Connected Overall award for driving the most participants to our research project. This was not a surprising outcome since Erica is well connected as a result of her many years in the industry.

Valerie Russo (left of photo) won the Most Connected By Weight award (photo below). Val, an obviously fit person, won this award because she drove the most participants based on her tenure in affiliate marketing. This category was created to give everyone on the team an equal chance of winning.

Congrats to Erica and Val…NetX’s Most Connected Affiliate Experts!

NetX Day Celebration

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Here at NetX we always try to have fun with everything we do but on 10/10/11 it was even a little more festive in our office as we declared 10/10 to be NetX Day!  Since X is the Roman numeral for 10 and our name backwards is X Ten we figured what better day to celebrate and have a little extra fun.

The day kicked off with a wrapped present (NetX logo drink cup) on everyone’s desk and a catered breakfast for everyone.  We get fresh bagels and juice on Monday’s anyway so we spiced it up with fresh fruit, pastries, donuts and muffins.  After breakfast our Office Manager Sharon passed around some clues for a scavenger hunt that would lead us to our second present of the day – a stylish yet practical NetX logo umbrella.

Around 11 the masseuses rolled in and our staff was treated to 20 minute relaxing massages as we turned one of our conference rooms into a Zen retreat.   The team was then treated to lunch on NetX – their choice of either Chipotle or Lenny’s Deli  and if they weren’t stuffed from all of that we broke out a series of red themed afternoon snacks like Swedish Fish and Mike and Red Hots.

Here at NetX we love our deserts so the late afternoon we surprised everyone with an ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery (red velvet of course!) as the whole team gathered in our break room / lounge.

The celebration finally wound down as we broke out the in-house kegerator and some Dos Equis (XX) beer.  Huge thanks to our prime minister of happiness and office manager Sharon – she did an amazing job coordinating the day to make sure it was a memorable day for the team.

Thank You for 10 Amazing Years

Monday, April 25, 2011

It is with great pride that I look back on the last 10 years. Chris Kramer and I started Netx (then NETexponent) in January of 2001 with one simple goal; to acquire the most valuable customers for our clients at the most efficient rate. 10 years laterand that is still the driving premise behind everything we do at Netx.

Over the years we have had the pleasure of working with many great people across many wonderful companies. Our client list currently includes such top brands as Audible.com (an Amazon.com company), Nickelodeon, Conde Nast, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Financial Times, Hot Topic, Dymo (a Newell Rubbermaid company), and Red Roof Inn. Other client experience includes work for AMEX, The New York Times (our first client), Verizon, Scholastic, ESPN, and many other category leading brands. Our clients are extremely forward thinking and treat us as a partner rather than a vendor. To all of our clients, past and present, “Thank You.”

We have also had the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing people in the online ad industry. The folks that work at Netx are the best and brightest minds in this space and constantly impress us with their creativity and dedication. To all of our staff, past and present, “Thank You.”

The publishers we work with are genuinely nice folks who work hard to drive the best results possible for us and our clients. To all of our publishers, past and present, “Thank You.”

The client-agency-publisher trifecta can be described simply as “good people & great results”.

For all of these reasons and many many more…I consider myself very lucky to be a part of Netx.

Netx 10th anniversary cake

We would not be here without help. So four our 10th anniversary celebration we decided thank as many folks as we could. A party took place in Battery Gardens, a wonderful waterfront venue in Battery Park NYC. We were joined but current staff, past staff, clients, partners, friends, and family. Notice that our custom cake features each of our current staff along the base (our foundation) and our clients on the second tier and a message of thanks. It was a fun opportunity for us to say “Thank You” to those who have helped us along our journey.

We must also thank our wonderful friends and family for cheering us on over the years. Our parents taught us to take chances, be creative, and treat others the way we would want to be treated. Our siblings pushed us to achieve more and always believed in us. And our loving spouses constantly deal with our addiction to email and late nights working. We love you all and “Thank You!”

Here are some great moments from that special night. I am sorry that we could not have everyone there with us but please know that you were all there with us in spirit.

Thank you for 10 amazing years and cheers to many many more!

I love my job!

Signed,

Peter
