The Canadian Gaming Summit: My Presentation on Allan Petrilli
Last week, I had the opportunity to both attend and give a presentation at the Canadian Gaming Summit in Windsor, Ontario. Drawing delegates from the land-based casino and iGaming sectors across Canada, the conference was a great place to share and discuss industry trends with other gaming professionals.
Did you attend my session, “The Balanced Marketing Ecosystem: Using Traditional & Digital Marketing Strategies to Maximize your Acquisition of New Customers”? If you couldn’t make it, here are the key points I made in Windsor:
• With a reported $14 billion in annual revenue, gambling in Canada is integral to the national economy and a major revenue stream for provincial governments. .
• Canada is online like never before: in 2015, 87% of Canadian households have an internet connection. It’s therefore vital for land-based casinos and iGaming brands to make digital marketing the core of their acquisition strategies.
• Beyond their websites, the digital marketing channels casinos and operators can focus on include: SEO, PPC, media buys, email marketing, affiliate/performance marketing and social media marketing. These are most valuable and impactful when leveraged as a group.
• When it comes to maximising the impact of their marketing campaigns and measuring their ROI, reliable tracking software is essential for both online and offline channels.

Silverpop: Taking Loyalty Beyond the DiscountSilverpop
The term "loyalty" means different things to different digital marketers. Many small- to medium-sized businesses have implemented punch card programs to encourage repeat business and reward frequent customers, while failing to capture important customer information in a meaningful and trackable way. Some large companies spend millions of dollars on loyalty programs that drive sales and customer satisfaction, but sometimes also create discount-happy customers.
In this Webinar, Silverpop's Dave Walters will offer his advice on shifting the current thinking around these types of programs to focus on what he calls "experience-based loyalty" -- focusing on identifying user actions that indicate a deep affinity for your brand and the kinds of experiences that will amaze your customers, rather than simply handing out discounts and coupons.

How to Win the Big Bet on PersonalizationJake Borr
How often do you visit a site and are presented with content that does not pertain to your behavior and interests? While amusing at times, poorly personalized digital experiences can be frustrating for the end user, and reflect negatively on brand image.
Forrester research found that “Only 16% of marketers currently have the capability to capture customer intent and deliver real-time, behavior-based marketing across all channels.” While personalization’s slow adoption can be attributed to its perceived risk, <strong>personalization is a proven winner in terms of delivering greater engagement, sales uplift and repeat website visits
In this webinar, you will hear from Acquia and MRM on how to take the fear out of personalization, and how successful implementation can help your organization:
-Increase revenue from product recommendations
-Drive conversion rates with personalized call-to-actions (CTAs)

But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover
