Our team has over 25 years experience in online gaming, ecommerce, web marketing and internet advertising, from the early days of internet gambling to the present day.
Our managing director has worked with 4 different igaming and casino operations, two of which were bought by international gambling operators thanks in part to his work: Jackpot Factory (Brightshare affiliate program), Intercontinental Online Casinos (PartyGaming / iglobalmedia affiliate program), Ad-Gency (Cpays / Affiliates United affiliate program) and William Hill Online.
Our MD headed internal marketing departments, established online telemarketing and live chat departments (‘frontal marketing’), and at his peak he was a one-man department at Ad-Gency handling all of the conversion, retention and CRM work across the company’s 16 casino brands, generating $15 million monthly income, with 45,000 monthly active players – and shortlisted as one of the company’s 9 key employees (out of over 250 staffers). He brings a wealth of experience from his activities at these companies and the different igaming software platforms they used. Our operations and professional standards are shaped and guided by the lessons and insights, and unique work methods and analytical methodologies our managing director gained and developed from his international experience.
These insights may best be summarized thus:
We place emphasis on the execution of actual work over the implementation of time-saving automation and processes; automation is in aid of something and not a goal unto itself.
There are no “untreatable” players: every customer account can be treated on an almost daily basis, across different subjects, in order to convert him, keep him active or reactivate him.
CRM (customer relations management) is likewise a supporting element of our work – even a byproduct of it – and not a goal in and of itself; it does not predetermine how we work or how we see the challenges posed by our responsibilities: points of contact, communications and account management are established where they are identified as relevant and needed, and not because of any orthodoxy which posits that CRM need be ‘everywhere’.
Focus on the management of players (and traffic sources) rather than the esthetic appearance of the casino or affiliate site: what occurs below the hood is the running of the proverbial engine, and this is really what enables the marketing management company to be successful.
Be honest: most of the gaming operators we worked at were in the habit of cheating both players and affiliates; here we are above-board with everyone and adhere to simple, straight-forwards terms and conditions without tricky fine print.
Much of what we do is the result of learning from mistakes we have seen other casino management and internet marketing companies make, and ensure that those erroneous approaches are not adopted here. Our ‘best practices’ are the byproduct of our avoidance of past mistakes made elsewhere.
