Yesterday evening (on Monday, June 17, 2013) — during a dinner that took place at the famous Edison Ballroom in New York City — Rakuten LinkShare held its 2013 Golden Link Awards ceremony.
I had the honor of judging the awards for the second time in a row, which is always a privilege.
Thank you to the esteemed judges of the GLA @andyhoar1, Rebecca Madigan @pmassociation, @eprussakov, @scottsilverman, @missyward! #rmevents
