And the iPad winner is...


A few weeks ago our Eloqua Success Tour Ambassador, Drake, kicked off a contest to give away an iPad. Well, today is that magical giveaway day. It was an incredibly difficult decision for Drake because there were so many creative entries. (If you’re one of Drake’s many friends on Facebook you’ll be able to click the links below to view the photos.)

Drake commented that he really wanted to see the Eiffel Tower and he got versions of his wish in Vegas and on Ellis Island. He traveled as far away as Australia and Hawaii, and all over the US and Canada. He flew on a trapeze with the greatest of ease and celebrated a bit too much at a winery in Napa Valley. He went swimming (which didn’t end well), was burned, umpired a baseball game, golfed, scaled amazing heights, and even braved the protesters at the G20 summit. Drake also made friends with kangaroos, koala bears, sheep (ouch!), roosters, ducks, pigs, cows, dogs, donkeys, and llamas with really bad teeth. He had a bit of peace and music at Woodstock, and a tiny bit of corporate espionage (shhh). And yes, he even managed to play in the World Cup. And all the while he was spreading the gospel of marketing and sales alignment to everyone he met.

Drake is a tired man.

But not too tired to award an iPad! Drumroll please…

The iPad goes to Amy Kolzow! She managed to take Drake to eleven states across the US – impressive! - and even gave Drake several new outfits. But the real reason she won? She cleverly named Drake’s dog “Markie”. A shining moment in Eloqua branding. (Not sure what the connection is? Visit http://markies.eloqua.com for the scoop.)
