Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE) today announced that its marketing services group, Sapient Interactive, has been named the lead digital agency by Sportingbet, a leading provider of online gaming services across Europe. Sapient Interactive will develop an entirely new online customer experience for Sportingbet, including a redesign of the principal parts of the website and a range of immersive digital experiences to engage a new generation of online gamers. Sapient Interactive won the highly competitive pitch which was managed by Creative Brief, a leading London-based agency search firm.
“Sapient Interactive really understood our vision of revolutionising the online gaming customer experience through a creative translation of the challenger brand concept,” said Paul Roberts, director of products for Sportingbet. “We were impressed with their knowledge of emerging trends and opportunities in the digital space as well as their insights into our target audiences. Their campaign ideas will help us successfully connect with a new generation of gamers across Europe and beyond.”
“We are very excited to work with Sportingbet - which is quickly emerging as the leading online gaming brand in Europe,” said Maggie Lonergan, Sapient’s client development director. “Online gaming now finds itself colliding with entertainment, content and emerging technologies, all of which lend themselves extremely well to developing a wide range of engaging brand experiences.
