Publishers At Commission Junction, we are always looking for ways to develop sustainable relationships and improve our services to our clients in order to drive quality results. Keeping with that tradition, we aspired to enhance the communication channel between Commission Junction and our publishers. As a result, we are proud to introduce our Publisher Advisory Board (PAB).

The objective of the PAB is to help Commission Junction build mutually beneficial solutions for the future. To meet this objective, we have recruited a group of notable, established publishers from within our network to serve as the voice for their community.

Commission Junction will proactively obtain feedback from the PAB regarding successes or opportunities they observe throughout the lifecycle of a business or technical initiative. The PAB will collaborate with the Commission Junction executive board to implement enhancements in order to warrant success for all parties.

We look forward to working with this esteemed group of individuals, and we cannot wait to watch their ideas come to fruition at Commission Junction.

Sincerely,

Kerri Pollard
General Manager
Commission Junction, a division of ValueClick, Inc.
