Anticipate forecasts for the upcoming year, valuable insights on promoting international races in Hong Kong, and an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of SITA's interactive microsite advent calendar.
Making Predictions For The Year Ahead
As we reached the end of a busy year, we gathered the thoughts of some of the iGaming industry’s leading voices to ask them their biggest takeaway from 2023 and the strongest prediction for 2024 for Talk Gambling .
The likes of Light & Wonder , Xtremepush and NuxGame amongst others spoke about individual highlights from the last 12 months and what they think will prove influential as we head into 2024. With discussions ranging from key markets, the role of diversity and inclusion, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence on the integration of cutting-edge technologies, there was plenty of interesting insight to dissect.
The roundtable was spearheaded by our Senior Account Director, Lina Sennevall , who was recently named as one of the industry’s most influential women in 2023 by iGamingBusiness . Congratulations, Lina.
Promoting Hong Kong International Races
The eyes of the racing world turn to Hong Kong during the LONGINES Hong Kong International Races week in December, a key event in promoting the best racing Hong Kong has to offer.
To ensure a significant media spread, we hosted a string of top-tier titles including the Sun, Mirror, Star and Sporting Life on-site. We also had boots on the ground, managing HK Racing's social media channels, covering the event for City AM , and creating many releases for UK and global media. As a result, we secured over 150 pieces of quality coverage reaching a global audience of over 350 million racing and sports fans.
And the racing didn’t disappoint either. Both the International Jockeys’ Championship (IJC) at Happy Valley and HKIR at Sha Tin provided big results for the locals, with jockey Vincent Ho becoming the first local rider to win the IJC, while he also rode HK champion Golden Sixty to a third G1 Hong Kong Mile success.
Decking The Halls With Dartford FC
Alongside the video team, the social team spent a day at Princes Park Stadium, home of Dartford Football Club , filming some light-hearted and entertaining content with both the men’s and women’s team to release on Rhino Bet’s social channels weekly through December and January.
To further amplify each video we’ve utilised paid spend on Instagram, while deploying various footballing influencers, both generic and non-league specific, to engage with the content and share it with their fanbase. As we approach the mid-campaign mark, we have yielded over 2m impressions and over 600k video views.
Square in the Air’s Interactive Advent Calendar Microsite
In the festive period this year the design team challenged themselves to create a fully interactive microsite to celebrate the 24 days of advent, containing exclusive daily content, competitions and prizes behind each door number.
