When we look back, even to just a decade ago, we can see just how far the affiliate marketing sector has come and the rapid advances as new technologies and tactics entered the sector. Affiliate marketers have witnessed first hand just how important it is to leverage these technologies and create new strategies to keep pace and engage audiences.

Today, amid the widespread interest in AI to deliver more personalised experiences, and shift to audiences seeking more captivating experiences from Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR and VR), the strategies for building and retaining engagement are changing.

To stay ahead and foster long-term engagement, affiliate marketers must familiarise themselves with the latest technologies, trends and techniques. Let’s look at the key trends ahead to driving engagement, and retention in 2024.

Leveraging AI to better understand your audience

AI has been much welcomed by marketing professionals, who are seeking more effective and efficient ways to connect with their audiences, and drive more personalised experiences. At Alpha Affiliates, we’re already seeing AI prove invaluable in areas such as banner creation, enhanced analytics and predicting user behaviour.

As well as supporting content creation, AI can amplify the effectiveness of campaigns, ensuring they resonate with the target audience. AI’s ability to analyse past patterns and behaviours, means affiliate marketers gain valuable insights which allow them to anticipate the actions a user will take, and offer more tailored content and promotions as a result.

In the iGaming sector, engagement is everything. Personalising affiliate marketing campaigns with the help of AI can be a gamechanger. Just imagine being able to predict when a user is likely to become a VIP player, and tailoring your marketing efforts accordingly. This level of personalisation not only enhances the user experience, but fosters long-term loyalty and engagement, as a result.

Embracing AI tools will be crucial in producing more effective, creative and impactful affiliate marketing campaigns in the iGaming sector.

Captivating audiences with immersive experiences

iGaming is all about excitement, interaction and engagement. We find that users want to experience more tangible, fun and immersive experiences. This is where Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be leveraged to create a sense of realness and blur the lines between the digital and physical world.

Although AR and VR technologies are still in developmental stages within the iGaming sector, they hold huge potential for captivating audiences and driving engagement. AR and VR can take campaigns in the iGaming world to new heights. Imagine an VR experience that transforms users to a virtual casino, surrounded with lifelike graphics and social interactions. By offering these immersive experiences, affiliate marketers can create “pinch me” moments that leave a lasting impression and foster deeper connections with their audiences.

Diversify your strategies to reach different audiences

The future is multi-channel. Diversifying content and communication channels is key to engaging different audiences across different platforms, and retaining them.

What is the most effective way to connect with your audience? How will they respond? These are a few of the key questions to ask yourself as an affiliate marketer working within the iGaming space. With these considerations, you can work out the best strategy based on your targets. It could be crafting blog posts that resonate with industry enthusiasts, or leveraging influencer marketing to tap into niche communities.

Taking a multi-channel approach that looks at diverse strategies, affiliate marketers can ensure that they can reach different audiences globally and provide value in a way that aligns with their audiences’ unique preferences, interests and tastes.

The reality is, the sector is constantly evolving. And with the introduction of new technologies and trends, affiliate marketing strategies have to evolve too. By embracing the latest technologies, diversifying communications with different audiences, and prioritising personalisation, affiliate marketers can position themselves for success in 2024 and beyond.

New name. New logo. Same great affiliate.

The company will from now on be trademarked under Gentoo Media, and will operate under the name Gentoo.

Whilst introducing our new company name, along with our new logo and visual identity we ensure that Gentoo remains the same great affiliate, with the same great people, and the same great brands that we have become recognised for.

The rebrand marks a significant milestone in the company’s history in becoming a stand alone business in the second half of 2024*, continuing our track record of dominating the iGaming affiliate market with 13 successive quarters with all-time high revenue and strong EBITDA-margin reaching 48% in the last quarter.

Gentoo will continue to focus on our unwavering commitment to deliver superior results, growth and sustainable long-term partnerships, ensuring our partners that with Gentoo, you get more.

Our new company name Gentoo Media pays a tribute to GiG Media’s Rebel Penguin heritage, as Gentoo is an Antarctic penguin species known for prospering by coming together as a unit to survive and thrive. Gentoo further symbolises the next generation of the company’s legacy, opening a new chapter while continuing our path as a market leading affiliate, shaping the future of affiliation.

“The launch of our new brand is a big milestone for us in the process of separating GiG Media from Gaming Innovation Group. Gentoo has been created with all our partners and employees in mind, ensuring to communicate an accurate and genuine view of ourselves, the business and what we stand for and believe in. The launch of Gentoo marks a new era and we couldn’t be more excited for the future prospects of the business.” – Jonas Warrer, CEO

“The rebrand of GiG Media marks a pivotal moment in the separation of Gaming Innovation Group into two independent businesses, and is a vital step in the process of increasing shareholder value. The launch of Gentoo is a testament to the organisation’s dedication in delivering superior quality and results in every aspect of the business, and is setting the company off to a great start.” – Mikael Harstad, Chairman of the Board
