MioMedia, a new innovative affiliate program in the iGaming marketto attend SiGMA Europe event

Intelligence, context, body language, even humour, they can all be harder to get across digitally

You joined MioMedia in June this year, how did you find it starting with a new company during lockdown?
It’s been fantastic. I’m lucky enough to have lived in Malta for over seven years now so there were some familiar faces greeting me online from day one. As we’ve grown over these past few months and moved back towards a normal office life, I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming others I know from the industry in the same way. As a team as well as a company, we put great emphasis on doing whatever social events the restrictions have allowed, to ensure we all feel like we’re part of something special here.

How are you settling into the role? What were your initial objectives? How are these working out?
I ’m lucky to work with similar mindsets at MioMedia, where everyone has a job to do, and as long as we’re all pulling in the same direction, we’re bound to go far. With the launch of Neon54, our strategy has been to establish this brand in the emerging markets across Europe, LatAm and beyond. I want to grow Neon54 so that it’s the market leader in these areas, using the USP of five different welcome offers and extraordinary avatars to capture the imagination of new players across the globe. I held this position with another operator prior to coming here, so this gave me a great platform to attack the role properly, and the launch couldn’t have gone better. We’re really pleased to see how this brand develops in the coming years, while preparation is already underway to launch new brands and verticals in the near future. The hard work never stops!

Now that we are returning to shows, what are you looking forward to most? With face-to-face meetings being impossible over the past 18 months, how important are they?
Having been in this industry for many years, these conferences are a great chance to catch up with not only new and existing partners, but also ex colleagues and friends that may have moved on from Malta but stayed within the industry. After a year that most of us spent sitting on a couch, I’m positive that there’s plenty who are glad to board a plane to sunny Malta. These shows are always great for business, and it’s a brilliant opportunity to say thank you to your favourite clients, maybe grab some dinner and plan out the next quarter’s campaigns. As much as a phone call is better than an email, a face-to-face blows them both out of the water. It helps you see each other in a more human way and makes working together much easier moving forward.
