"we believe in going out of our way to put the customer's comfort and happiness
first," Abe's of Maine has translated its success to the affiliate channel as well.

Innovator of the Year
Awarded to an advertiser or publisher who demonstrates the most successful
use of emerging technologies
Intuit
Our advertiser client Intuit keeps very busy with its several programs in
the Commission Junction network, but during the company's peak season, the
affiliate marketing group still found time to take a creative approach to
promoting its products: They created a campaign that worked across channels,
asked their users to get involved in a fun, creative way, and then leveraged
a social network to turn it viral. Intuit is a prime example of a company
who embraces emerging technologies while never losing sight of what's
important to its customers.
Agency of the Year
Awarded to an agency that has excelled at fostering relationships between
its clients and Commission Junction
iMarketing
We chose iMarketing as Agency of the Year because the company excels at

deep understanding of our clients' businesses and objectives.
