| August started out extremely busy and Affiliate Summit East was the perfect beginning to a successful month for Blue Phoenix Media! Affiliate Summit was from August 9th-11th and was in our home base New York City, allowing us to exhibit in full force. The estimated 2,500 expected to attend the show was doubled to over 4,000 attendees, making the show a success for everyone!
The show started with the Meet Market on Sunday, which included a frenzy of eager affiliates and merchants ready to do business. We had a great spot between the entrance and the escalators to the 2nd floor, so no one got through the show without seeing us first. Crowds swooned around our table to find out what Blue Phoenix Media has to offer. There was no time for a break as prospects approached us to the very end of the show. The first day went off without a hitch! On Monday, the Exhibit Hall event had attendees slipping in long before 10am. Being in the 1st aisle of the 1st floor, again, allowed no one to lose sight of Blue Phoenix Media. Lines formed around our booth from the start, barely allowing anyone to pass through. We were equipped with a full staff from C-Level Executives to well trained Affiliate Mangers, allowing us to serve everyone’s needs at the show. The night ended with our sponsored party with Headlines & Heroes at The Bottom Line at Touch. We celebrated the show’s success in our VIP booth and jammed with Biz Markie who sang his hit ‘You Got What I Need’ inches away from us! Many of our partners came by to celebrate with us and the night closed with a bang. Tuesday’s expected turnout was pretty decent, considering many attendees may have been curing hangovers. Lines still surrounded our booth and people eagerly waited to find out more about Blue Phoenix. We even had traveling publicity as visitors from the previous days walked around wearing our shirts! The show remained busy to the end and we left with a plethora of new business to pursue! Thank you to all that came to meet Blue Phoenix and who showed support at our sponsored event! |
