Matthew Wood

Biography for Matthew Wood, Managing Director, Existem Ltd Matthew, a self-confessed Affiliate Marketing evangelist, is the founder of affiliates4u, the organisation behind the widely-respected www.affiliates4u.com (formerly a4uForum), the UK’s No.1 portal for Affiliate Marketing. With membership standing at around 20,000, affiliates4u.com plays a pivotal part in the industry and provides a focal point for Affiliates to meet, share experience and do business together. Having been at the forefront of the move to bring a level of professionalism and credibility to the £3bn sector, Matthew has himself been an active Affiliate for over 10 years, and therefore commands both respect and admiration amongst his Affiliate peers. In 2007, he extended the a4u brand beyond its original Online presence and highly-successful UK Roadshow events to launch the UK’s very own educational and industry-specific Affiliate Marketing Conference & Exhibition at ExCel London. The event attracted over 800 professionals working in and around the Affiliate Marketing sector and provided a unique and professional environment for delegates to learn, debate and network. Plans are now well under way for the 2008 event and Matthew &his team are also in talks to take the a4u brand truly International next year. In line with Matthew’s desire to see the sector recognised for its revenue contribution and Online Marketing expertise, affiliates4u also launched the UK’s own a4uAwards Affiliate Marketing Awards to celebrate the very best companies and individuals working in the channel each year. The event was a sell-out and once again raised the profile of the industry within the wider Media &Marketing arenas. However, Matthew is keen to never forget his roots and this Summer affiliates4u became multi-platform, with the very popular Community being able to access content via Mobile and Online TV. Matthew, 29, is married and lives in Bristol.
