Our next Behind the Scenes segment takes us to Denver, Colorado to visit the affiliate company Media Breakaway (parent company of CPA
Empire). We were able to schedule the segment to coincide with their “Breakaway Event“, so we got to see their offices as well as spend some time with some of their affiliates at the conference.
Overall the trip was awesome. We had a great time, and came home with a ton of footage. After a lot of work, we were able to cut the footage down to 2 segments. One segment is filmed at their offices, and the other is at the event.
We flew into Denver on a Wednesday, and had a not so great flight. Probably could have drove it quicker than we flew. They put us up in a hotel that was next to their offices, so we got up Thursday morning and filmed all day at the Media Breakaway headquarters.
After we got done filming, we moved hotels to the conference hotel which was more downtown Denver. And we spent Thursday night and Friday filming the conference events. The Breakaway Event that they threw for their affiliates was crazy. Between the great food, free drinks, and clubs that they reserved for our private event, they went all out.
Below are both segments of the behind the scenes. These are the shortened versions, but you can view the full length versions here.
We’d like to thank Media Breakaway for showing us such a good time.
If your company would like to fly us in and have us do a “Behind the Scenes” meeting your staff and asking what makes your company tick then please use the contact form or email tigh at shoemoney.com for more information. We are already booked through October with more behind the scenes segments.

Very cool, I like the video intro. Always awesome to see what’s going on at the headquarters of these companies.
I agree with Zac. The videos are of superb quality. Awesome addition to your already great content!
I love to see the backends of these big companies too..
Cool man
Shoe- Awesome job! The video quality is fantastic.
I love these behind the scenes congrats to CPA Empire on having you do this. Great exposure for them.
Getting positive emotions of travel is most important. This is a good.
Wow! Jazz is hot! ok got that out! Great Behind the Scenes Shoe. Affiliate.com will be a great “next level” for cpa. Have a great weekend!
Hahahaha. She is fine.
She’s not that fine – just normal, or above normal…at best
Pretty damn fine by my standards!
Which one, from the first video clip or the second? Lol! :-d
I’m glad somebody else said something!
Also, I agree that these behind the scenes are valuable. There’s a lot of insight coming out of talking to all these people.
Nice clips, would be good for affiliates
Very cool videos… i agree that you should do this more often maybe a series…
Yea same here. Series, series, series!
Didn’t Media Breakaway get sued recently?
there was a judgement with myspace not to long ago

Looks like an awesome time. Are you going to be filming at IZEAFest?
We will be filming a behind the scenes at Market Leverage and also Izeafest.
We have 8 other companies in queue that we are flying to their offices to do behind the scenes still in 2008
Awesome video… I actually watched the whole thing which is impressive considering my 10 second attention span.
My favorite parts? The compliance discussion, for sure.
“do you guys have to like get in there with trademarks or anything like that?!”
Also, I know ringtones are huge–everyone knows it–but I gotta say I’m so sick of Affiliate Managers saying “mobile’s really hot right now” when you ask them what offers are good. WE KNOW! It’s been that way for years… Wish they would tell us something a little more unique/helpful
That’s cool, will watch later. Btw, I just noticed adsense ads for tools.shoemoney.com — are you sure you want to do that?
its not me… must be affiliates
Well, they forgot to add their affiliate ID
we don’t have affilaite ids for the tools =P its a totally new system
how do you track affiliate sales?
I was able to tour the place 2 weeks prior to the breakaway conference with my AM and it was great. You are right about the break room, wow lots of stuff. I’d be jacked up on RedBull everyday.
Excellent video and we’re glad you can get access like this, I wouldn’t have been able to film. I”m just a little guy.
Browie is a girl’s name
I’ve never even heard of that name.
nice vids
Yeah, love the HD content
Great Videos. You should try to do more in the Behind the Scenes series…
CPA Empire looks like they are doing well and haven’t let the legal troubles affect them too much. Good stuff.
Your a very lucky guy. Love seeing how these companies tick over. Cheers
well, affiliate.com is going to help them a lot. Do you know for how much they bought the domain or it was registered by them ?
I like how you surprised the first guy, almost looked like he was looking at porn or something.
Sounds a bit stressful.
Great videos Shoe!
It is always neat to see what all goes on behind our screens and the people that we actually work with that help us make money.
I agree, video is great. I always wanted to watch what is happening behind the scenes.
Any more information Jeremy about there online dating stuff they’re coming out with?
Great Videos. You should try to do more in the Behind the Scenes series… I like the way you present. Any more in the making?
Great job on the videos. Thanks for posting them.
I think I would most definitely be fatter if I worked at Media Breakaway too! In fact, I’d probably just set my laptop up in the breakroom, and camp out.
With more and more of these footages and pictures of you, I think you might be better off debuting through a TV show or something.
offices with chicks are cool.
great videos thanks for posting them
I come here everyday and as the days go by I find myself leaving fewer and fewer comments. I guess I am becoming a real fan of yours. Just thought I would say hi and thanks for the shirt…
Love it shoe! Stopped by looking for contest ideas to get my forums off the ground and you never fail as always.. now I just need to get someone to donate a macbook air !! also loved the animation but need to get him to make your cannon a little bigger than JC’s lol.
I’m a big fan of those Vimeo videos – they look great. Thanks for posting the behind the scenes look.
Yeah thats pretty interesting. No doubt.
Cute girls
heh heh girls are cool
When are we going to see more – and when is the internet broadcasting company [IBC] going to be incorporated.
More balanced and much more free than existing TV. WITH NO ADVERTS!?
Good vids BTW.
I agree. I would definitely get fat if I worked there. Good video, very insightful.
awesome can’t wait for the ML one
Yeah ML should be good. I would like to see one on NeverBlueAds as well.
Nice building and location. Awesome place.
Memorable trip. Awesome. thanks for sharing with us.
Great videos. Great Event.
I viewed the full version of the videos.
Behind the scenes looks very refreshing in the market.
Lets get a look at ShoemoneyMedia
Shoe, You sure do get around, dude!
Interesting stuff… You did a great job, like everything about the videos including the custom titles and stuff. Never heard of vimeo before though.
Didn’t intend to watch the whole video at first, but was pretty interesting.
Well, will there be a Shoemoney TV show on network TV next year?
That’d be on reality show that I’d actually watch.
Great videos. Very well put together. I enjoyed seeing what Media Breakaway are like out of the “spotlight”.
Woah! Awesome job! The video is super cool.
Very good videos. I’m still drooling from everything in the lunch room! It’s nice to see a company on the cutting edge in so many areas.
If you ever want to get rid of any of your old t-shirts I know a few people who could use them
I think you should sponsor an upcoming event called “A day in the life of shoemoney” and then pick someone from some sort of contest to be you for a day… I see these things and am just like wow, hes kind of a big deal! At any rate keep up the good work and thanks for sharing a wonderful blog with the rest of the world..
Now why couldn’t ‘Top Affiliate Challenge’ have this kind of video quality?! lol
I know, shit looks great!
Looks like a great place to work, nice offices and good people. Lunch room is a great bonus with all the goodies.
hahaha assistant to the regional manager.
i love the office
If you want to help me, help Shoemoney, go over here and leave a comment demanding they bring his sphinn back!

Great insight into this company. I’m growing my business from 5 employees and hope to make it to 10 before the end of the year. Love to see how other people are doing it.
