On today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, their very own Pini Yakuel tells us why marketing is a lot like basketball. Best played with fluidity.

SBC Editor-at-large Ted Menmuir is in the host's chair for this one, joined by Pini Yakuel, CEO and Founder of Optimove, to discuss the growth of the company from 2012, to their current iteration, embodying Pini's marketing philosophy.

Pini tells Ted about Optimove's journey, how early adoption of data mining positioned them well to leverage AI in marketing, their positionless marketing philosophy, borrowed from basketball where players are adept across multiple positions. Pini tells Ted that AI is a key enabler of positionless marketing, allowing individuals and smaller teams to handle more aspects of campaign execution.

Ted also asks about Optimove's recent acquisition of Adact, a breakthrough gamification platform, to enhance their offering. Pini explains they specifically sought out a gamification platform with marketing DNA, focusing on branded mini-games and loyalty solutions that can be integrated with their existing data-driven platform.
