PLATINUM SPONSORS
WELCOME TO A4UEXPO
Welcome to a4uexpo Europe, returning to Amsterdam in 2013 Today we welcome delegates from not only Europe, but across the globe for our fifth annual a4uexpo Europe – and coincidentally our very last a4uexpo conference and exhibition as we introduce Performance Marketing Insights, our recently renamed global event series. a4uexpo Europe 2013 showcases the natural shift in our innovative industry from the successes of affiliate marketing to the allencompassing performance marketing. We have a very current ‘something for everyone’ agenda, along with a keynote that will engross an industry with examples of how future consumer engagement is shaping up. Once again a4uexpo Europe, in Amsterdam has been met with enormous support by leading brands, all of whom not only enable a4uexpo to continue to offer the highest standard of conferences across Europe, but enables us to grow and constantly evolve. My thanks goes to zanox, Tradedoubler, affilinet, Fruzzel, VIP Online Media, Kwanko, Commission Junction, Webgains, Public !deas, Linkdex, RetailMeNot, Glossybox, Daisycon and Ve Interactive, all supporting sponsors, every one of our exhibitors, and of course all of our 70+ speakers. The team at PerformanceIN work tirelessly to ensure that a4uexpo provides real networking opportunities, education and innovation, and ensures to promote performance marketing as intrinsic part of every digital marketing strategy. I hope that you as delegates take full advantage of every opportunity; meeting leading digital marketing agencies, attending speed networking, listening to as many conference sessions as humanly possible and speaking to every one of our brands on the exhibition floor, not forgetting to save time for a well-earned drink at both of our networking events. Finally, please ensure you make time to enjoy a4uexpo Europe 2013. I look forward to seeing you across these intense but fruitful two days.
Sarah Parsonage Managing Director, PerformanceIN
Diverse, Converged and Engaging
a chance to have face-to-face meetings with a number of agencies in attendance with our ‘meet the agencies’ feature, taking place 14.00–16.00 in the Knowledge Zone.
With a large focus on multi-channel strategy, this year’s conference agenda at a4uexpo Europe is the most diverse in the event’s history, and things have changed considerably since our inaugural pan-European show in Amsterdam back in 2009.
Lastly, feedback is important to us at Performance Marketing Insights. It helps to understand your experience with us over the two days and improves our offering for you next time around. Please take the time to fill out our feedback forms, either on the event method application or at: a4uexpo.com/feedback/
Reflecting on how digital marketing is adapting to changing consumer habits we find ourselves as performance marketers following suit, targeting an audience that is more agile through multiple devices and on-the-go marketing needs. With this in mind we’ve produced a multi-channel theatre that houses sessions aimed at keeping your performance marketing activity in tune with our agile and connected consumers. From leveraging new traffic sources across social, mobile and video through to email campaigns designed for a multi-channel audience, you can expect interactive, educational and case study-led insight from our speakers. Specific rooms are assigned to panel sessions covering international expansion, consumer engagement, traffic acquisition, extreme SEO (always a favourite!), attribution and discussion around third party solutions. We also have a dedicated presentation-only room with a great selection of expert speakers who I’ve no doubt will supply delegates with new insight and actionable strategy. There’s also a great selection of Dutch speakers this year who are partaking in many areas of the agenda who will be able to offer additional insight into our host country’s performance marketing landscape.
Chris Johnson Content Director & Conference Programmer, a4uexpo Europe
4 years have whizzed by since we held our Inaugural mainland European conference in Amsterdam – I remember it well as it was on the back of Queens Day, a party that should be on everyone’s bucket list! Since then we’ve been on a bit of a tour with award winning conferences in London, Barcelona, Munich and more recently New York. Although Affiliate & Performance Marketing has changed somewhat since 2009, the core mission of a4uexpo has not. Once again we have a World Class agenda, top-notch CClass delegate list and exceptional networking opportunities over the next two days. I urge you to plan your time wisely, digest this brochure in full and make the most of every hour here. Multi-million pound deals always take place at the show; so make sure you are in the mix!
It’s always hard to cover the major trends in performance marketing, and the next two days will cover one or more of the many facets of the performance marketing umbrella including search, social, affiliate, email, display, data and mobile. I’m confident you’ll leave the show with fresh ideas, wowed from presentations from expert speakers and in tune with our panel debates.
I say with some sadness that this is our last conference as ‘a4uexpo’ but excited that we’ll be known as ‘Performance Marketing Insights’ commencing with our flagship show in London this October.
We’re also putting on a set of performance marketing roundtables during lunch on day one, closely followed by

AMSTERDAM More than just windmills… With a maze of beautiful tree-lined canals to rival that of Venice, world-class museums, a host of theatre, live music and restaurants and a relaxed and quirky vibe, Amsterdam offers the ideal backdrop for two days of intense knowledge-share, learning and networking. 2013 is a special year for Amsterdam, celebrating several cultural milestones, including the opening of the renovated Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, 400 years of the Canal Ring and the abolition of Dutch slavery 150 years ago. A city rich in culture, latest estimates conclude that there are more bikes in Amsterdam than permanent residents, cementing its reputation as an urban area committed to environmental innovation. Delegates arriving via Central Station may have spotted the multistorey ‘bicycle flat’, a parking structure used by thousands everyday! Whether you’ve visited before or are new to Amsterdam, there is plenty to explore and discover in this laid back and charming city.

Focusing on the individual is one of the most overlooked areas of conversion optimisation. While building tests that deliver the ‘statistically best’ experience, we often overlook the fact that everyone is different. By optimising your site, are you heading to the lowest common denominator – making a bland and unexciting page that offends nobody, but isn’t exciting or inspirational?
A prominent discussion point across the globe. The rise in mobile has led to a new channel being leveraged that allows publishers, advertisers and startups to take advantage of today’s agile consumer. The mobile channel is a new facet for performance-based marketing activity, yet the promotional opportunities for publishers and advertisers alike are often overlooked.
Our speaker explains how you can use analytics tools to understand possibilities for personalisation, how you can set up simple personalisation tests with any test platform and looks at which are the best features to personalise on your page. Learn how simple changes can create a personal experience for every user and boost your conversion.
The speakers will take you through a big brand’s mobile affiliate programme, starting with the basics and then embarking on a step-by-step guide to launching your mobile affiliate programme. Using case studies from the successful brand’s mobile activity, you’ll hear about tips for growing and maturing your mobile affiliate programme - plus a look at how the app space can benefit and take your mobile activity further into the world of m-commerce.

Few will deny that today’s remarketing and retargeting channels are booming and are set to continue driving new and significant revenue for brands over the coming months. With so much customer data being handled across each journey, what are the best practice procedures to remain within the law of customer data collection? Especially as new data regulations are soon to be enforced that could impact these channels quite considerably. Our panel will discuss their experience within the channel by delving into successful campaigns and what factors played a part in their success, followed by a view to future strategies. How has frequency capping for display campaigns changed over recent years, and when is the optimal time to remarket via email? Does creative messaging aid display conversions, and how personalised do you need to make your emails to aid remarketing?
#A4US2
Successful conversion optimisation is not an art, but a science. It requires an in-depth understanding of human psychology, cognitive principles and scientific methodologies. Therefore it’s time to lift the lid on what it takes to optimise effectively. This session will explain how the application of simple cognitive principles can be applied to website design and usability, how the art of persuasion can be leveraged through basic scientific methods and how all this can affect a visitor’s mind-set and their eventual conversion. By tapping in to the science you’ll learn how to get the most out of your existing traffic and maximise your online ROI. We hope you leave this session and never look at a web page in the same way!

12 months is a very long time in search, so how can site owners large and small stay agile and ensure they move with the times? What tools can you use to figure out what to do next and how should you react if you fall foul to the latest search update? Join our SEO guru who’ll take you through how any site owner can analyse data from tools including Advanced Web Ranking and Search metrics, and use Excel to make monitoring your competitive landscape easy and actionable. Drawing on experience of working with large affiliate sites, Jon will identify significant changes in the past 12 months with examples of websites that are adapting well to change, and also sites that are being left behind. You’ll leave this session with a clear idea of how to stay in touch with SEO changes, and more importantly how to react should a shift in rankings impact your business.

One of the common trends for performance marketing stakeholders in today’s market is the availability of third party technologies that can optimise your campaign, programme or operation. Depending on the level of granularity that you are using third party solutions for, throws up many different approaches to performance. But what can using third parties enable you to do more of? What is the best approach and in what circumstances? How can API’s, increased tracking and use of analytical tools aid you to maximise your performance marketing goals?

In a unique eight-country study of the role performance marketing plays in shoppers’ purchasing journey, Tradedoubler Insight Unit’s research ‘Performance Marketing from First Impression to Last Click’, investigates exactly how the rise of e-commerce and the phenomenal consumer uptake of smartphones and tablets has disrupted the traditional customer ‘path to purchase’ and what that means for marketers. With an overview of this in-depth research carried out in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Poland - Tradedoubler will examine how Europe’s shoppers are turning to performance marketing channels first when seeking inspiration on which brands and products to buy – and brands without a presence on these sites risk being locked out of consumers’ decisionmaking as a result. The presentation also provides key insight on vertical buying beharviour.

Social is the wide open door through which mountains of targeted visitors await those businesses with the foresight to invest in acquiring them. The speaker will look at strategies that can help you to cut through the many social channels and instead concentrate on the platforms that convert.

Attribution adoption for marketing campaigns has grown considerably over recent years. At current day there is more pressure on performance-based employees to deal with issues like cross channel attribution, multiple touch-points, return-on-ad spend, new versus returning customers and tag management.
The world’s most popular content management system is used on millions of websites and by tens of millions of people everyday. With its ease of use, WordPress has been the backbone for many content and performance marketers who look to the CMS as the platform to build their online properties.
Many advertisers are today focusing on leveraging the entire customer journey instead of a single interaction, and the evolution of attribution over the coming year is one that encompasses many channels including the mix of cross, omni, multi, and agile, marketing.
Four years on and Joost de Valk returns to the a4uexpo conference agenda, where he’ll be giving delegates the chance to revisit WordPress and hear what is currently best practice across theme selection and frameworks, must-use plugins (and ones you should avoid) and overall optimisation techniques including speed, search engine optimisation, maintenance and analytics.
Our panel will share insight into how attribution has evolved within their companies and client base over the past 12 months, before focusing insight into how measurement and targeting of attribution models are being revised to encompass today’s agile consumer.
PB / AG / AD / NW / OT Come along to the Knowledge Zone and meet many of the performance marketing agencies in attendance. Hear about the exciting brands they represent and discover how you can work with them more closely.
Following his presentation, Joost is primed and ready to answer any questions you’ve been waiting to ask about your WordPress goals.

The boom in new technologies and devices, as well as the availability of mobile internet and instore Wi-Fi, offers consumers more possibilities for online shopping and therefore, greater power over the providers.
Europe’s biggest voices in the world of search are coming together, not for 12 rounds, but 50 minutes in what’s set to be the bout to end all bouts.
Many paths lead to the web-shop, and having evolved over many years devices and technology have provided the basis for online businesses to adopt new business models and integrations that can influence and disrupt the consumer further offline than ever before.
Five SEO experts will be hoping to keep Penguin on the ropes by covering a barrage of subjects such as new linking techniques, multi-devices and site audits. Finally, before the referee halts the contest, there’ll be a chance for delegates to muscle in and fire a few jabs of their own in a Q&A session where anything goes, as long as it’s not below the belt.
Join our speaker who will look at how the e-commerce channel is evolving to suit deviceled consumers, and provide examples on the strong opportunities for the affiliate channel to take a leading role in the growing omnichannel mentality.

Digital marketing has changed consistently over the past few years. Previous tactics that were employed to reach more consumers aren’t as effective in today’s landscape, and influence is playing an increasingly large role when it comes to optimising your digital marketing efforts. The term is often misinterpreted, so what actually is ‘influence’ and how does it affect today’s marketing efforts? Are you influential, or do you need to find the right network in order to find and target the right ‘influencers’ to engage with them more effectively? Our two speakers will help you understand the principle of influencers, finding the right influencers and getting them activated so you can optimise marketing and sales in a strategy and tactics combined session.

Fashion is one of the fastest growing vertical sectors within affiliate marketing. According to eMarketer, online sales of apparel and accessories saw huge growth in 2012. This is all the more noteworthy, as apparel is a product type for which shoppers’ desire to touch, feel and try on before making a purchase, a fact long seen as a deterrent to online sales. This impressive growth is supported by a host of publisher models that use blogs, pairing content and social channels to drive revenue through the fashion sector. Join our panel of fashion publishers, bloggers, brands and a fashion-centric agency as they discuss the ascendancy of online fashion content. Expect to hear about cross-border promotions, utilising social channels and leveraging usergenerated content.

As our host country for this year’s panEuropean a4uexpo, we’ve put together a panel of Dutch affiliate and performance marketers to share insights on the market’s landscape throughout the Netherlands. Expect to hear our panel’s views on building brands to increase customer retention and how to add value. The latest mobile opportunities that are gracing the market will be showcased along with adapting to changing consumer habits surrounding the customer journey. All the above and more will be discussed during the panel session. Additional questions from the floor will be encouraged.

If you saw the coverage earlier this year about Google handing a link-based penalty to massive global brand, Interflora, and want to ensure that your link building strategy is adhering to Google’s constantly changing guidelines, then this session is for you. The SEO game has changed rapidly with Penguin and, ultimately, so has link building. You won’t want to be the next Interflora and the speaker will take you through a new mindset for link building and goal setting to a new ‘risk vs reward’ scheme. This session will give examples on unnatural links, link removal, recovery and link risk management. Sit in on this session to ensure you have a more sustainable and up-to-date link-building strategy than you’ve had previously.

In a land not too far away, two intrepid marketeers; one from the world of public relations and another from the world of social media, got together to explain how crossplatform campaigns were the way forward for brands wanting to take their consumer engagement to the next level. The session is aimed at explaining how companies can combine campaigns across video, public relations and social media in order to increase engagement levels and make budgets stretch that little bit further. If that was not enough, we also explain the SEO benefits of these types of campaigns and sprinkle over a dash of real-life campaign examples that have worked well for their clients.
AGENDA DAY TWO – 49 14:00–14:50 I & II
Deann Harvey, DG
Today’s hyper-connected consumers no longer distinguish between one screen or device. They look for convenience and quality; and may the best screen win. Simultaneous, often continuous switching among screens has created a huge challenge (and opportunity) for marketers. At the heart of it all is video – which can elicit the same emotion whether viewed on a pocket-sized screen on the go or the largest on the wall. Through video, we laugh, cry, are enticed to buy, and are inspired to share with friends and strangers.
So, as video becomes increasingly channelagnostic, how do we achieve cross media engagement? How can we build a fused strategy in this landscape? How do we measure beyond quantifiable metrics and refocus on the qualitative and social side of video? Deann Harvey will help you spot the trends, find cohesion, and prepare for explosive growth in next-generation converged video.

While some SME publishers focus on trying to gain ground and reach those dizzy top-tier heights, others have enough trouble just trying to get a network to look at them, let alone keep up once they reach the summit. From competing against a torrent of top-notch traffic to making a splash and getting yourself heard – it is not an easy battle being a publisher. Short of a big arrow sign and a neon jacket, publishers will find out how ‘not’ to be ignored by networks, while gaining insight into relationship building with advertisers. From networks helping publishers facilitate key industry rendezvous, and publishers who aren’t geo-located in industry hub cities; to selling yourself and business properly - a whole host of topics will be explored. Here, a panel of candid network pros and up-front publishers will also smash myths and delve into controversial issues such as backhanders and profit splitting.

A hands on guide for the 21st century marketer as this session will delve deep into user events and personalisations that can be recorded to combine qualitative and quantitative data into 100s of data values. But how do you collect this data? At the heart of this session lies best practice examples of how to collect and categorise detailed visitor data, and making it actionable - the more accessible and connected your data sets are, the more able you are to create a clear picture of who your customers are and focus your marketing activities accordingly. Expect a media-rich presentation with case studies, Forrester-commissioned research and downloads, showing the true value that data can bring to a business.

If you send email newsletters and updates, it’s likely that a growing percentage of your subscribers are reading your messages on a smartphone or tablet. Depending on where you’re viewing your inbox from, it’s an experience that can swing from awesome to awful. While an email newsletter can look superb in the inbox, when squeezed onto a smartphone it can become unusable. In this session you’ll be taken through some of the best practices for delivering and targeting to the agile consumer via email. Hear how their award-winning email campaigns have taken into account multi-device usability to increase engagement, click-throughs and delivery. A great session to attend if you’re looking to improve your email marketing campaigns and increase relevancy with your multichannel audience.
