Hey, I’m Darren Blatt — aka D-Money — and I’ve been deep in the performance marketing game since the very beginning… all the way back in 1997. I’ve always been an affiliate at heart, and I specialize in B2B marketing — helping companies grow through smart partnerships, creative strategy, and powerful industry connections. Over the years, I’ve naturally become the center of what’s happening in our space — like the Pied Piper of digital marketing, always leading the charge and drawing the right people together at the right time. I’ve always been an innovator in this industry, helping pave the way for what performance marketers are doing today. From payment processing to video streaming, podcasting, converting traffic, and more — Darren and his crew from way back are the real innovators of the game. And we’re still innovating today. You might know me as the founder of the Affiliate Ball, performance marketing’s biggest and best event since 2011. But before that, I was throwing events under the name The Players Ball — starting all the way back in 1999 through 2011, alongside the biggest B2B performance marketing trade shows. From day one, we consistently drew over 2,000 invited industry guests at each event, making it one of the largest and most anticipated networking experiences in the space. Over the years, Affiliate Ball has hosted legendary artists like Snoop Dogg, T-Pain, Method Man, Sean Paul, Fat Joe, and Busta Rhymes, with speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, and special guests like Evander Holyfield and 50 Cent. I’m also the creator of the AFFY Awards, performance marketing’s highest honor, founded in 2012 — now a formal gala spotlighting the top superstars in our space. This year’s AFFY Awards Gala is partnered with Lead Generation World and lands in San Diego on January 4th. And yes — I like to go big. We even had Jeff Ross, the Roastmaster General, co-host the AFFYs with me and Mike Ferree, roasting winners just before he lit it up on the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix. So when I say I think differently — I mean it. I also co-founded AFFY Expo, and I’ve united the industry with Affiliate Ball Meetups across the globe — in Toronto, Miami, LA, Fort Lauderdale, Denver, and more. Because in this space, 80% is who you know and 20% is what you know — and Darren’s Marketing Firm has built a career mastering both. I’ve helped countless companies level up by plugging them into powerful circles, offering creative strategy that actually fits their brand, and giving them real opportunities to grow.
