In this episode, we look to the year ahead and cover the dos and don'ts of Marketing in a Recession and Marketing Budgets in 2023.

It's not about how much to spend or when to spend, but more importantly where to spend. We look at SEO and Paid Media, both Google and Social, and which you should invest in and when. We unpack how to be consistent with your budgets, even when markets are strained. Marketing is an investment that can be scaled up or down and should be evaluated based on your position both financially but also in the market considering the current climate. 

Finally, an important tip; we share our insight on not being  tone deaf by making sure you stay connected with your audience and being considerate to unique situations but also ensuring that you still add value.

In this episode we unpack the benefits and challenges of Google Ads in the iGaming industry with specific consideration to the restrictions applied by Google in this space.

We discuss the different licensing applied to the different types of iGaming as well as the types of casinos; land-based vs. online, free play vs. real play, regional restrictions and the licensing required in each of these regions and how to go about getting fully registered in the locations that you want to operate in.

Lastly we look at the best ways to avoid delays in getting these applications considered and the benefits of using specialist iGaming attorneys that carry more weight and have an intimate knowledge around the inner workings to expedite these often lengthly and costly set backs.

This week we introduce a new team member, Ebert Grobler, who will be hosting Smart Marketing alongside Justin Lester.

As experts in the iGaming industry, we go through the different marketing options available to Online Casinos and specifically unpack where the best return on investment is and the profit margins related to each. 

We specifically address Affiliate Marketing, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and Paid Media (Google and Social) and the pros and cons of each when executing for the iGaming industry.
