Sophisticated player targeting, marketing and activation capabilities enable the Michigan-based gaming brand to enhance player experiences
OtherLevels, a leader in cross-channel marketing and engagement for the sports betting and gaming industries, is now the preferred digital player engagement partner for FireKeepers Casino, one of the largest tribal gaming operations in the US. OtherLevels will provide web, app, inbox and interstitial messaging capabilities for the Michigan-based casino’s digital gaming and sports book operations.
By partnering with OtherLevels, FireKeepers strengthens its ability to engage players using OtherLevels’ data-led messaging capabilities. The company’s Sports Engagement Platform leverages live game data, user actions and CRM data to create marketing messages that are relevant and complementary to FireKeepers players’ interests and online journey.
“We are proud to work with one of the most respected names in Native Midwest gaming as they expand into online games and sports betting,” said Brendan O’Kane, CEO of OtherLevels. “We look forward to providing FireKeepers with the marketing and player engagement capabilities they need to create better, stronger and longer-lasting relationships with their players in Michigan and beyond.”
The existing integration between OtherLevels and Scientific Games Digital, which powers FireKeepers Casino’s digital gaming content, ensures a seamless flow of player activity data and enables OtherLevels, using real-time information, to deliver specific messages to FireKeepers’ different audience segments, customized by preferences, player value, past behavior, and geolocation.
Since the legalization of sports betting and online betting in Michigan in January 2021, FireKeepers has made player engagement their top priority. FireKeepers can now instantly access best-in-class multichannel marketing capabilities designed to maximize player activation and in-session participation and drive new player registrations.
Through the partnership with OtherLevels to deliver more personalized content, FireKeepers can build closer relationships with players, and increase their lifetime value and retention. FireKeepers can now also provide players with tangible and important game information based on their preferences and prior activity.
“Our players are the focus of everything we do at FireKeepers,” stated Kathy George, CEO of FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “We are pleased to partner with OtherLevels to help us engage and connect with our online players, and truly give them a FireKeepers experience.”
