BlogWorld was an important (and fun!) event. As one the panelists, Kontera’s VP, Product and Co-Founder, Assaf Henkin, had some interesting facts to share about the online marketing world today, with a special focus on the smart ways to monetize your blog.

But the best part for us was in getting to meet many of our partners face to face. This doesn’t happen often enough in the high-speed digital world.

A well known online entrepreneur and Kontera publisher, Joel Comm, has a few words to say about his experiences with Kontera. Get ready for a short video interview:

Kontera was proud to be among the sponsors of The SF BIG iHack Golf Event. Our Senior Vice President, Bryan Everett, wins one for the team.

SF BIG is the premier group of advertising professionals in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kontera is a proud sponsor of the group and has employees who volunteer for the group to help plan events and work to help out in their industry.

The SF BIG iHack Golf Event was the most highly attended gathering of Bay Area interactive advertising professionals in the last 3 years. The exciting event was attended by all of the area’s top ad agencies media companies and technology providers on hand, including Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask. As a premium sponsor of the event, Kontera hosted 2 foursomes with guests from several leading ad agencies and online publishing companies. Kontera was well represented by a few members of the Business Development and Ad Sales teams as well Senior Vice President- Bryan Everett.

At the end of a day filled with many informal golf course meetings and news deals being struck, it was Kontera’s Bryan Everett who took home the day’s biggest prize on the par 3, third hole at Harding Park. Tremor Media was giving away a brand new iPhone for the golfer who struck their shot closest to the hole. With over 150 golfers vying for the prize, it was none other than Bryan Everett, who not only called his shot, but backed it up by knocking it just 4 feet away from the hole.
