Fifteen days later and I’m back in Miami at last. I started the month off at LeadsCon in Las Vegas, then headed to work out of the Santa Monica office, then to Napa for some wine tasting with the AKMG crew and finally to San Francisco for adtech. What a crazy few weeks but it was worth it with the new business we drummed up plus the relationships we’ve further solidified. Once again…the AKMG skate decks were a huge hit! We heard people were auctioning them off in the lounge area and they were going to the highest bidder. If you didn’t get a chance to stop by and pick one up, be sure to catch us at Affiliate Summit in August where we’ll have a new Boston board.

This trip made me realize (again) what a great industry we work in. I don’t know many other people that get to hang out with smart, funny, innovative people on a daily basis. People that you genuinely like. It feels like we spent half of adtech laughing with our advertisers and affiliates…just having a good time while doing business. I don’t think you could ask for more in a job. Unless of course you’re partial to grey cubicle walls and long, serious meetings that accomplish nothing. I prefer the quick, to-the-point meetings in our booth followed by cocktails at the W Hotel.

Now, more importantly, it’s almost time for the weekend here in Miami which means I can finally relax and catch up on some necessary sleep…
