Wynn Las VegasI just found out that Wynn Las Vegas one of our 5 Star Programs got a CJ Horizon Award for best merchant in the “People” category. Kinda funny since I do their PR, that they didn’t tell me about it and I had to find out from CJ’s press release. But hey, that goes to show you how successful and busy they are. ;-) They also have a brand new affiliate portal you should check out. The design is absolutely AMAZING!

In all due respect, I have to mention the Wynn affiliate program was designed by PartnerCentric and managed by them until about a month ago so the PC team should should get some acknowledgement for this award as well.

Commission Junction Press Release - Horizon Award - People: The award for People is presented to an advertiser and publisher who have shown an enthusiastic commitment to pay-for-performance marketing. They are market leaders and are dedicated to building a strong community among online marketers.

From day one, Wynn’s affiliate team has been committed to building personal relationships with each of its publishers. Wynn believes that publishers are a true extension of their sales force, and ensures that this extended sales force is well-educated on their product offering and feels like a part of the team. It is Wynn’s open communication channel with their publishers that has brought them to the number one spot in the hotel category and won them the reputation of being one of the premier resorts to work with in the affiliate space.
