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.
September 5, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I agree with Zac. The videos are of superb quality. Awesome addition to your already great content!
September 5, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I love to see the backends of these big companies too..
Cool man
September 5, 2008 at 9:58 am
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.
September 7, 2008 at 7:27 am
Getting positive emotions of travel is most important. This is a good.
September 5, 2008 at 10:00 am
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!
September 5, 2008 at 11:09 am
Hahahaha. She is fine.
September 5, 2008 at 4:47 pm
She’s not that fine – just normal, or above normal…at best
September 8, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Pretty damn fine by my standards!
September 10, 2008 at 2:52 am
Which one, from the first video clip or the second? Lol! :-d
September 5, 2008 at 11:52 am
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.
September 5, 2008 at 10:02 am
Nice clips, would be good for affiliates
September 5, 2008 at 10:02 am
Very cool videos… i agree that you should do this more often maybe a series…
September 5, 2008 at 11:59 am
Yea same here. Series, series, series!
September 5, 2008 at 10:04 am
Didn’t Media Breakaway get sued recently?
September 5, 2008 at 10:08 am
there was a judgement with myspace not to long ago
http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/06/16/cpa-empires-loses-six-million-dollar-judgement/
September 5, 2008 at 10:04 am
Looks like an awesome time. Are you going to be filming at IZEAFest?
September 5, 2008 at 10:06 am
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
September 5, 2008 at 10:25 am
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
September 5, 2008 at 10:26 am
That’s cool, will watch later. Btw, I just noticed adsense ads for tools.shoemoney.com — are you sure you want to do that?
September 5, 2008 at 10:36 am
its not me… must be affiliates
September 5, 2008 at 10:37 am
Well, they forgot to add their affiliate ID
September 5, 2008 at 11:02 am
we don’t have affilaite ids for the tools =P its a totally new system
September 5, 2008 at 4:21 pm
how do you track affiliate sales?
September 5, 2008 at 10:43 am
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.
September 5, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Browie is a girl’s name
September 7, 2008 at 9:45 am
I’ve never even heard of that name.
September 5, 2008 at 10:45 am
nice vids
September 8, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Yeah, love the HD content
September 5, 2008 at 10:49 am
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.
September 5, 2008 at 10:58 am
Your a very lucky guy. Love seeing how these companies tick over. Cheers
September 5, 2008 at 11:00 am
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 ?
September 5, 2008 at 11:05 am
I like how you surprised the first guy, almost looked like he was looking at porn or something.
September 5, 2008 at 11:08 am
Sounds a bit stressful.
September 5, 2008 at 11:17 am
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.
September 7, 2008 at 7:30 am
I agree, video is great. I always wanted to watch what is happening behind the scenes.
September 5, 2008 at 11:21 am
Any more information Jeremy about there online dating stuff they’re coming out with?
September 5, 2008 at 11:26 am
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?
September 5, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Great job on the videos. Thanks for posting them.
September 5, 2008 at 12:45 pm
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.
September 5, 2008 at 1:31 pm
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.
September 5, 2008 at 1:38 pm
offices with chicks are cool.
September 5, 2008 at 1:39 pm
great videos thanks for posting them
September 5, 2008 at 1:39 pm
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…
September 5, 2008 at 2:09 pm
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.
September 5, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I’m a big fan of those Vimeo videos – they look great. Thanks for posting the behind the scenes look.
September 5, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Yeah thats pretty interesting. No doubt.
September 5, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Cute girls
September 7, 2008 at 4:11 am
heh heh girls are cool
September 5, 2008 at 3:28 pm
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.
September 5, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I agree. I would definitely get fat if I worked there. Good video, very insightful.
September 5, 2008 at 4:37 pm
awesome can’t wait for the ML one
September 7, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Yeah ML should be good. I would like to see one on NeverBlueAds as well.
September 5, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Nice building and location. Awesome place.
September 5, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Memorable trip. Awesome. thanks for sharing with us.
September 5, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Great videos. Great Event.
September 5, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I viewed the full version of the videos.
September 5, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Behind the scenes looks very refreshing in the market.
September 7, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Lets get a look at ShoemoneyMedia
September 5, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Shoe, You sure do get around, dude!
September 5, 2008 at 7:33 pm
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.
September 5, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Well, will there be a Shoemoney TV show on network TV next year?
September 9, 2008 at 12:11 pm
That’d be on reality show that I’d actually watch.
September 5, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Great videos. Very well put together. I enjoyed seeing what Media Breakaway are like out of the “spotlight”.
September 5, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Woah! Awesome job! The video is super cool.
September 5, 2008 at 10:04 pm
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.
September 5, 2008 at 10:43 pm
If you ever want to get rid of any of your old t-shirts I know a few people who could use them
September 5, 2008 at 11:19 pm
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..
September 5, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Now why couldn’t ‘Top Affiliate Challenge’ have this kind of video quality?! lol
September 7, 2008 at 2:53 pm
I know, shit looks great!
September 5, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Looks like a great place to work, nice offices and good people. Lunch room is a great bonus with all the goodies.
September 6, 2008 at 12:15 am
