Nadine Herrmann (The Cashback Queen)
Managing Director at mycashbacks
✨ CJU 2024 in Santa Barbara – What an experience! ✨ You wanted a follow-up and my opinion? Here she is! 😊 My first CJU and I'm absolutely thrilled! So much input, countless inspiring conversations (as it always is at such events – it's a people business), and a fantastic opportunity to get to know the US market better for mycashbacks. I made great new contacts that will certainly help us to continue to grow. The days were packed with insights, exciting keynotes and valuable workshops. My highlights: 1️⃣ Cashback & couponing are huge in the US: It's impressive how strongly cashback and voucher publishers are represented here. The market continues to grow, and the innovative approaches show how creative this area is. 2️⃣ Artificial intelligence dominates affiliate marketing worldwide: CJ is a pioneer in this area, especially in fraud detection and partner discovery. It remains exciting to see how AI continues to change our business. 3️⃣ Networking in a dreamlike setting: Not only were the conversations valuable for expanding the U.S. market, but the atmosphere in Santa Barbara, right by the sea, was simply indescribable. A big thank you goes to my wonderful publisher manager Lisa Nikitina, who always takes care of everything so warmly and professionally. It was great to experience the CJU together with you – thank you for your support! 🙏 So conclusion: YES! The CJU is absolutely worth it, and I hope to be there again next year.

Closing out an incredible week at #CJU24. It’s been one of those weeks filled with so many moments, new connections and important face time with so many industry friends. Feeling very lucky to be a surrounded by so many smart and FUN people. This award was the cherry on top and so thankful our work shaking up the CTV space with LG and CJ is recognized. Teamwork really does make the dream work.

Founder, Locker
Last week marked another amazing CJU in the books! ✅ ☀ I always love reuniting with my conference friends and meeting new brand partners from all over the world in Santa Barbara. There is truly nothing quite like experiencing an advertiser's "aha moment" in real time once they see and scroll past their brand being organically saved to thousands of Locker collections and start to grasp the value of our social commerce in action. My heart skipped a beat when an advertiser pulled out their own Locker profile on their phone to give the demo themselves to their own CJ account manager...seeing our word-of-mouth growth in action 🤯 Being such an early stage startup it is exciting to realize that this time next year we will be in a completely different place than we are right now. CJU25 we will be ready for you! 🛍
