Meet Our Blue Ribbon Panel The Blue Ribbon Panel gives an informed insider’s perspective on the performance marketing network marketplace, contributing industry insight and evaluation to the Blue Book rankings. Membership is by invitation only. Panel members are senior figures in performance marketing: founders, owners and C-suite executives drawn from affiliate networks, agencies and multinational brands, chosen for what they can see that we cannot. There is much that goes on in the networks world that advertisers and publishers are not privy to. Panel members often have the inside view on intangibles like reputation and conduct, and guide us on what to look for. The panel for the 2027 rankings is being refreshed and reconstituted, and will be involved in this year’s Blue Book survey, which closes on 20 December 2026.
