Heather Paulson Nominated for Affiliate Marketing Legend Award

(PRWeb) January 7 th 2010– Heather Paulson, CEO and Founder of Paulson Management Group, Inc. was recently nominated for the 4 th Annual Affiliate Marketing Legend Pinnacle Award.

“I hope this reward is a reflection of not only my passionate dedication to the affiliate marketing channel since 1998, but also of the dedication and hard work on our affiliate management accounts that the PMG team has shown since we opened in 2007,” said Paulson. “Being the only affiliate management company that invests in affiliate video production network integration and testing, as well as our pursuit of advancements in affiliate tracking technologies, sets us apart. I hope those pursuits were the primary reason for this amazing nomination. Thank you to the industry for recognizing not only my dedication, but that of the Paulson Management Group, Inc staff and team.”

An Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Award is the most prestigious honor a leader in the affiliate marketing industry can aspire to. The first Affiliate Marketing Legend award was given out to Wayne Porter at Affiliate Summit West in 2006. After that, the award was named the Wayne Porter Affiliate Marketing Legend Award and the next one was awarded to Tim Storm at Affiliate Marketing Summit East that same year.

Later in 2006, Shawn Collins and Missy Ward, co-founders of the Affiliate Summit, announced the Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards as an annual award that would recognize innovative leaders in the industry who demonstrate vision and influence. Each year, three nominees in each of six different categories are announced prior to the January Affiliate Summit. In addition to the original Wayne Porter Affiliate Marketing Legend award, key players in each of the following categories are recognized as well: Affiliate of the Year, Affiliate Manager of the Year, Exceptional Merchant, Affiliate Marketing Advocate, and Best Blogger.

Previous winners of the Wayne Porter Affiliate Marketing Legend Pinnacle Award include Todd Crawford in 2007, Brian Littleton in 2008, and Kellie Stevens in 2009. This year's other nominees of the prestigious award include Brad Waller and Scott Jangro.
