AdTech NY November 2007 - Booth Babes & The City






Below is a brief video I made while attending AdTech in New York earlier this month (November 2007). I should have shot more video while attending the actual conference for everyone. AdTech was a great experience. Always good to see friends such as Web Publishing Blog and Diorex, as well as make new friends and business contacts. Hope you enjoy the videos and photos and I look forward to seeing new faces at SES Chicago in December.

Some more information about my experiences at AdTech New York:

- Dont let booth people talk your head off. Regularly interupt them in their spleel. If you dont shut them up, they will talk forever. In fact, they like it when you interupt so they don't have to keep on going.
- Joined the AdFemme network (pictured above) in a shameless attempt to meet female advertising execs. I't wasnt my idea!
- So many of these companies already do business, it can often be difficult to take deals and spread them around. Always keep some of your ideas to yourself, as people will steal them.
- The company that is called "No More Landing Pages" is in fact a landing page company. My sister works for Helio, and their slogan is, "Dont call us a cell phone company." Who the hell are these brand managers behind this? They seriously need to learn brand marketing, clarity, and copy writing.
- Mr. K's restaurant is the damn finest Gourmet Chinese restaurant in the world. The powerful beam of light in the center of the table illuminates your drinks.
- Tom Shack and Mr. K's are a dangerous combination. I mean seriously, who the hell can eat two plates of deep fried beed. After a while it tastes like deep friend cigerrettes.
- There were a lot of fine ass company employees at AdTech.
- Someone from Blogsvertise wants to buy my website Blog Sponsorships.
- I must have seen about 5 WF members representin.
- Pacha party was the non-punani party. Very humid and crowded.
- Some really amazing companies are emerging in the internet marketplace. Pub Matic is one of them. If you are a publisher and work with display advertising networks. Check them out.
- Web Publishing blog discussed domain names and how they are still an undervalued asset.
- Didnt get to see some of the bigger bloggers (ShoeMoney, JohnChow, UberAffiliate) and others.
