Optimus Performance Marketing has once more been named the industry’s Best Agency in Affiliate Marketing at the annual a4uAwards which recognise the top businesses and individuals working in the Affiliate & Performance Marketing sector.
The UK’s largest Affiliate Management agency has held this particular crown for the past three years, since the Awards were launched, and this year also beat off stiff competition from Full Service and Digital Media Agencies including NEO@Ogilvy, BLM Quantum and the now defunct i-level.
Mark Russell, Managing Director of Optimus Performance Marketing, says: “This is a huge testament to the company’s standing and respect within the industry, bearing in mind the category was broadened this year to also include Full Service and Digital Media Agencies beyond just Affiliate Management businesses. I’m therefore absolutely delighted for the team as it is a fantastic achievement and recognises the exceptional communication and account management skills that we are now known for both with Advertisers and Networks & Agencies.”
Launched in 2006, Optimus Performance Marketing was set up to meet the needs of existing and new clients to maximise their Affiliate Marketing activity. Now multi industry award-winning, the founding team of Mark Russell and Bruce Clayton saw a gap in the UK channel for a quality management company that could provide honest and timely advice to Affiliates and Advertisers. With over 60 clients, the team have masterminded campaigns for OakFurnitureLand, Austin Reed, Country Casual, Conrad Electronics, Laptops Direct, Extreme Pie, The London Pass, Yellow Moon and Baker Ross.
The a4uAwards (www.a4uawards.com) were launched in 2007 as part of the a4uexpo Affiliate Marketing conference event (www.a4uexpo.com ). The following year, the awards got their own spotlight and became a separate annual black tie ceremony held at a prestigious London venue. Now viewed as the ‘oscars’ for this dynamic Online Marketing channel, the a4uAwards recognise the innovation and commitment found within the sector each year.

Mark Russell, Managing Director of Optimus Performance Marketing, says: “This is worthy recognition of the team’s hard work and commitment in delivering Affiliate campaigns for both our Advertiser and Affiliate clients.

The annual a4uawards showcase the top talent and commitment within the £4bn Affiliate & Performance Marketing sector. Held at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London on June 9, the black tie event also allows the industry to celebrate another year of innovation and delivery.
