"Brand building is a business strategy for growth" says Martin Nieri. On this episode, Michael Pedersen together with Martin Nieri discuss brand and brand building in the iGaming industry. Martin answers questions what is a brand and, most importantly, what it isn't. The misconceptions when it comes to the necessity of using branding tools and ways to optimize your business through various branding tools, also Martin presents his top 5 iGaming brands and his reasoning behind it.

ABOUT MARTIN:

Martin spent the large share of his career in and running some of London’s most prominent creative agencies helping to build brand and advertising strategies for both start-up and blue chip organisations alike. He made the leap into iGaming in 2018 when he joined The Stars Group as Global Brand and Creative Director with a key responsibility being the over-arching rebranding of the PokerStars brand. In 2020, he joined GOAT Interactive as CMO (and then CEO) to lead the Premier Bet brand to record growth levels across its 19 African markets.
