Media Planning & Campaign Support

• Support the planning, coordination, and delivery of media campaigns across ATL and digital channels (TV, VOD, DOOH, display, social, and press).


• Work with internal and external partners to ensure campaigns meet KPIs, budgets, and deadlines.


• Maintain media schedules and asset matrices to track campaign activity.


• Assist in evaluating campaign performance and implementing test‑and‑learn strategies for continuous improvement.


• Conduct regular competitor and market analysis to identify new opportunities.


• Support stakeholder communication, ensuring alignment between creative, digital, and media teams including creation of reports.


• Monitor costs, performance, and timelines to ensure marketing efficiency.

We are dedicated to promoting safer gambling practices to ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience for all our customers. We prioritise player safety and well‑being, providing resources and support for those who may need assistance. Our commitment to responsible gambling is integral to our operations, and we actively promote awareness and education to help our customers make informed decisions.
