    Exciting times. And maybe the best job in egaming for me? I’ve just joined the Betsson Group as Managing Director for Betsafe. You can get a great overview of the history of the Betsson Group here. It’s full of smart people, great creative ideas, and a real desire to be as successful as possible. The…

  • Infographic: How we consume content from Brands

    I’ve been talking to people recently about how the way that we consume content is evolving & changing. Ecommerce is undergoing significant changes as large companies struggle (particularly from a technical point of view) to keep up with how quickly consumer habits are changing. In particular, the app economy, hyper-localisation and the mobile web have…

  • Giddins & Swann’s Poker Playing Charity Testimonial Bashes

    Two of my favourite things are coming together this summer, when the cricket fraternity (and friends) gets together to play Poker and raise some money for charity. (Note: I’m not involved but have put something up here at my cousin-in-law Tara’s request – as she’s helping run this great event). Johnno Spence is organising two…

  • The top 3 egaming companies that are winning with Brand. My take.

    I’ve been asked recently by a number of people – which egaming companies are killing it on Brand. Who’s done (or doing) the best job in terms of Brand (with a capital B!).

  • Lazy, disengaged? Let me help you decide who to vote for in the US.

    I’m a Marketer at heart – and I like pretty pictures and big data simplified. I can also be lazy, disengaged and get bored easily if I don’t understand what people are talking about. (I’m working on that….). I can across this great infographic today from the smart people at Time magazine who have made…

  • Like Social Media?

    I came across this infographic today when I was looking at the our WagerLogic / InterCasino social media strategy. It’s one of the better infographics that I’ve seen that gives out some useful metrics on social media usage. It’s a good sample size (1,000 respondents). It asks the right questions (why, what, etc) and offers…

  • Billy No Mates (Or how to find out if someone has ignored a Facebook friend request).

    Here’s a handy tip for you stalkers out there… This came up in work today – as we were looking at FB activity and how to work out if a friend request had been turned down. (BTW – Facebook has recently chanaged the “Ignore” button to a “Not Now” button. Guess they think that you’re…
