a4uAwards, Thank you for your support
The a4uAwards team would like to thank everyone for the great support received, ensuring the great success of the a4uAwards held last Thursday.
The evening went down a storm with an enjoyable three-course meal, flowing champagne & an excellent presenter, Michael McIntyre who captured the audience from start to finish.
We would especially like to thank our Main Sponsor Jackpotjoy, champagne reception sponsor affilinet, after party sponsor affiliate window & NMA for supporting the first Black Tie awards ceremony for the affiliate marketing industry, as well as our 16 award sponsors.
