The Most Influential Individuals in UK Affiliate Marketing
This is another project I started a while ago, I have already got some great feedback from some of the big hitters in the industry but it would be great to get some more input from people I don’t know out there.
I am looking to compile a list of the most influential individuals in affiliate marketing.
I think this could be extremely interesting, there are a huge number of lists of the biggest companies, networks and agencies but as we all know it is the people that make this industry what it is.
Who are the people you need to keep on the right side of? If you need advice who would it be great to have access to? Who is going to know where the next year will take us?
I am thinking about splitting it out into, Affiliates/ Affiliate managers, Merchant Managers, Network Staff and Agency Staff, plus a list of other influential parties like bloggers or media owners.
If you could email me a list of 5 from each catagory, I am hoping to start publishing these lists in the next couple of weeks with your help.

How about doing this list each Jan with a comparison to the previous year’s list - a bit like the charts?! It’d be interesting to see who’s on the up and of course who’s on the slide!

I was going to suggest a poll … but we know how networks jump on them and vote for themselves, so I suppose an “email-in” would be a good idea.
But what do you think about people’s desire for anonymity?

I have no problem with anonymity, i think it is the best way to get an honest opinion.
I have already had responses from some pretty important people at networks who wouldn’t like to be seen thinking one affiliate is better than another, which I think is fine
I am thinking about bringing a panel together, a couple of big affiliates, a couple of network staff a couple of agencies and a couple of merchants to decide on the final list.
Come on then email me your lists so i can get cracking.
