Choice quotes: “In offline gaming, there's something yet to be achieved, from the influencer side of things. Somewhere, there's a way of making it work, but no one's found it yet.” — Paul Sculpher. “With sports betting apps and casino apps, there's a huge opportunity for advertising within those kinds of apps.” — Harry Lang. “For a marketing leader, you're never the expert. Your team are the experts. You know the benefits, opportunities, costs, and KPIs. But the people [on your team who] execute it are the subject-matter experts.” — Harry Lang. “I read David Ogilvy’s book [Ogilvy On Advertising], and he was doing A/B testing with print catalogs. And I'm like, there's nothing new here. I can just do it faster.” — Fintan Costello. This podcast is presented by Optimove, which is used by 56% of the EGR Power50 to personalize player experiences.
