SKS365, MARTIN (CEO): “THREE WAYS TO LOOK BEYOND THE EMERGENCY: INNOVATING THE OFFER, SUPPORTING RETAIL, INVESTING IN PEOPLE”
The head of Company that owns Planetwin365 brand spoke about the Italian market during day 1 of SBC Digital Summit: “It is especially in times of crisis that identity and values are rediscovered. We focus on technological and human potential to start out more aware than before”
CEO of SKS365, Alexander Martin, was among the protagonists of the day 1 of the SBC Digital Summit, a virtual five days convention that will see – starting from today until 1st of May – the main exponents of the international betting and gaming market together to understand how to face the crisis caused by the pandemic from Covid-19.
“The post-Coronavirus restart is in itself a bet and one of the most complex that the whole sector has ever had to face. But every crisis – said Martin – brings with it opportunities. In this case, such opportunities lie in improving and broadening the product offering while developing a next generation multichannel identity.”
Martin was a speaker on this first day of the meeting, during the panel Off The bench – What is there to bet on?, during which he talked about leadingSKS365 through the month of restrictions and lockdown, the possible scenarios for the industry once restrictions are relaxed and how SKS365 is reacting both at company and at brand level.
“There are three essential, pillars to follow: offer, retail, people. We worked on our brand, Planetwin365, focusing on enhancing the digital offer, through new features, new products and strategic partnerships with very important providers in the online gaming market. Following the new trends in the field of TV consumption and gaming offerings, our offer has expanded to include lifestyle and entertainment events, in addition to the extremely expanding trend of eSports. In parallel with the brand activity – Martin added, talking about retailers – A specific line of communication has been dedicated to updating the customers of the retail network, in view of the reopening of the Planetwin365 shops. The dialogue with our first and most important ambassadors on the whole Italian territory led to a series of initiatives launched to provide them guidance and support during the lockdown, new product development and specific Opening Safety Kits getting provided to the entire network, making them able to safety reopen and protect both themselves and our customers from the first day on which it will be allowed.”
During the comparison, which took place in live streaming and put some relevant players on the international market in virtual connection, Martin also referred to the third fundamental aspect of the corporate strategy to strengthen its identity and face the crisis, the human capital:
“Like many firms we needed to quickly transition to a new way of working which meant ensuring that all of our employees have the necessary technical equipment, logistical support and, above all, working l conditions to ensure that business operations continued. In a similar nature, we continued with the roll out of our people initiatives which is the ongoing committed investment in our staff, as an example we launched an our first on-line learning platform to ensure we our people had the ongoing development opportunities for both their role as well as personal interests (from language courses to yoga training, passing through leadership seminars, software courses up to music lessons).“
