#500: March Madness Special: Hyper-paced CX in the iGaming Industry with Pini Yakuel, Optimove

Welcome to our first March Madness episode - and in the spirit of this, today we’re going to talk about the customer journey and experience in an industry that has one of the highest velocity of transactions, yet with very little differentiation between brands. The iGaming industry, which includes sports betting and online casinos is often looked at as a commodity product/service with little differentiation between brands. Incentives, like bonuses of free money for gambling, wear out. As we know and talk about a lot on this show, for brands to create a difference, they need to create a better user experience, deep personalization, and relevancy. Yet, with the high stakes and high volume of customer interactions, traditional retailers, financial service providers, and others can learn from marketing in the iGaming industry.  To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Pini Yakuel, CEO and Founder of Optimove, a platform ranked #1 by Gartner for multichannel marketing journey orchestration.
