Big news from the Electronic Retailing Association: Livemercial and Hamlin have been nominated for the 2009 ERA Awards! The ERA Awards are the most prestigious honors in the direct response and electronic retailing industry, recognizing excellence in marketing, innovation, and business performance. To receive a nomination is an incredible achievement and a reflection of the hard work our team has put in over the past year.

The ERA Awards ceremony will take place during the upcoming ERA D2C Convention in Las Vegas, and we couldn’t be more excited to attend as nominees. The direct response industry is home to some of the most creative and driven professionals in marketing, and to be nominated alongside the best of the best is a true honor. Whether it’s our pioneering streaming video technology or corporate innovation in the online direct response space, this nomination validates the direction we’ve been heading.

For Hamlin, this nomination is especially well-deserved. The dedication to quality and results-driven marketing has set a high bar in the industry, and it’s gratifying to see that effort recognized by the ERA. We’ll be cheering loudly at the awards ceremony and hoping to bring some hardware back to Valparaiso.

We want to thank the ERA for the nomination and for their continued leadership in advancing the electronic retailing industry. We also want to thank our clients, partners, and team members who make what we do possible. Win or lose, this nomination is a milestone that we’re incredibly proud of. Stay tuned for updates from the ERA D2C Convention — it’s going to be an exciting week.
