Neverblue attended ad:tech, November 8th- 20th 2012 at the Javitis Convention Center in New York. With our new brand being announced just a few days before the show, there was lot of buzz and excitement surrounding our iconic polar bear and crisp new website.

Our 20x20 booth was located front and center of the show, opening all four corners to eager attendees to discuss what they are working on and business we can do together.  Our growing mobile division was on demand with their new Mobile Application install tracking just announced keen developers and publishers wanted to learn more about this tracking feature which will allow them to confidently scale their app download campaigns.

It was great seeing familiar and new faces at ad:tech NY last week! Thank you to everyone for coming by the booth. Next stop, Casears Palace for Affiliate Summit West- looking forward to seeing you there!

Trade shows usually mean heavy meals and lack of exercise. But at the end of day one of last week's Adtech in NY Neverblue and Acquinity Interactive instead headed down to lower Manhattan to one of New York's oldest boxing clubs, Trinity Boxing, to get in a high-intensity workout. From left, Don Silvestri, EVP Online Media, Acquinity Interactive; and Steve Easton, Ian Dyck and Eric J. Gerritsen from Neverblue. The workout only made the after beers taste all the better.

The website clearly positions itself to Neverblue’s key stakeholders, highlighting our emerging Mobile initiatives and global presence while maintaining our network roots. The adventure-themed imagery reflects Neverblue’s dedication to strength and performance in the pursuit of success; our bottom line continues to be delivering ROI in a meaningful yet sustainable manner.

The third day of Out of Bounds Okanagan started with a breakout session after breakfast where everyone had a chance to share insights, opinions, feedback and innovations in the industry. Although Out of Bounds is always a fun-filled get away, one of the best parts of the trip is being able to share great ideas and learn from the best in the industry. Affiliates and Neverblue alike always walk away from Out of Bounds with a wealth of knowledge and great connections!

After our great session we cleansed our palate before heading to three of the Okanagan region’s best wineries: Mission Hill, Rollingdale Winery, and Quail’s Gate Vineyard. Our first stop at Mission Hill did not disappoint, as the vineyard is perched atop a mountain side and overlooks absolutely stunning views of the Okanagan Lake. After Mission Hill we headed to a winery that was quaint where Mission Hill was grand. The Rollingdale Winery is a small organic winery that operates their tasting rooms out of a small garage. What this winery lacks in scale it makes up for in taste, as the winemaker poured plenty of tasting glasses for us to try that left everyone wanting more. This favorite winery won’t be forgotten soon, as many bottles left with us after our tasting to be sipped at a later occasion. After Rollingdale we headed to our last Vineyard for the day, Quail’s Gate, where we sampled some of BC’s best and had a beautiful dinner on the patio overlooking the vineyards and the lake beyond – a perfect day spent with some of Canada’s best wines and lots of Okanagan sunshine.

Heading back to Kelowna the night ended with everyone getting chips to hit the Lake City Casino and try their luck (or skill!) at the slot machines, table games, and brand new poker tables. Tomorrow’s Out of Bounds adventure looks to be just as promising as today’s, as we hit the Okanagan Lake for some House Boating and Water Sports!

 

The first full day of Out of Bounds Okanagan got off to a great start after breakfast with a group meeting that allowed everyone to have the “formal” intros and a bit of industry chit chat. Afterward everyone got to enjoy the beautiful Okanagan sun, great food, and great company on a rooftop patio overlooking the Okanagan Lake - can't be beat!

Once everyone had their fill we set off to the first annual Neverblue Out of Bounds Golf Tourney! Gallagher’s Canyon had a fantastic course for us to play on where we saw the good the bad and the ugly on the course. We might not all be golf pros but we had a lot of fun and laughs in the sunshine!

No tournament is complete without awards, and the Out of Bounds Tourney was no exception. Awards were handed out for Most Honest (who did the worst…), Best Score, and Most Lost Balls to name a few. Now on to tasting the Okanagan’s finest tomorrow!

 

Day one of Neverblue’s Out of Bounds Okanagan adventure has begun, and the sun is shining bright with the promise of an amazing warm week ahead! Out of Bounds is an international affair this time around, and we’re so excited to see all of our top clients from around the world. Our clients traveled from far and wide to come meet the Neverblue team and mingle with the best in the business, with clients coming from as far as Israel, Germany, Poland, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and other exciting global locals – a truly global group!

Clients and Neverblue reps had a chance to mingle in the lake-front Neverblue suite that overlooks the beautiful Okanagan Lake and scenery beyond. Once everyone had arrived and gotten acquainted the whole gang headed out for our inaugural dinner at the Cabana Grille – an amazing local spot perfect for a wind down after a day full of travel.

The whole team is looking forward to tomorrow, which promises more fun and adventure with a full day of activities planned to take in all the Okanagan has to offer. Stay tuned for all the Out of Bounds excitement!

Today was an important day in the Neverblue/AKMG story with the placing of a beautiful new corporate sign outside our offices in Los Angeles. Congrats on adding a fine piece of SoCal art to the streets of El Segundo

Earlier this month Neverblue hit up the a4u Expo Munich for the third time to meet our expanding European affiliate network on their home turf. Neverblue was represented at a4u by our new Neverblue Europe team, Jaeson Hildebrand and Murat Kulekci, who recently relocated to Amsterdam to hold down the fort in Europe full-time. Joining the Neverblue Europe team was Bryon Short, Network Manager at the Neverblue Headquarters in Victoria, BC, who joined the team at the always fantastic conference.

 

The a4u proved to be another amazing expo, with over 700 delegates from all over the world converging on Munich. The Neverblue team got to meet some new faces as well as reconnect with some former while on the floor and also got to take in some informative sessions happening at the expo. Our very own Jaeson Hilbebrand had a hands on approach to the conference sessions this year, as he was selected as a speaker for the event. Jaeson’s session was a huge success as he discussed Lead Generation. Past the Submit Button on the last day of the conference, helping to wrap up this great event.

As always the Neverblue team had a great time in Europe, hitting up one of the best expo parties they’ve ever attended while meeting some great new contacts in our expanding European network. Look for us at the next a4u Expo Munich – we can’t wait!
