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!

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.
