Quotables:
- 11:31 – “A marketing plan is not a one-person deal or a one-department deal even though there’s a marketing department when you create your marketing plan its a buy-in from the whole entire property so you have to touch base with the person that’s in charge of slots, the person that’s in charge of table games, the person that’s in charge of food and beverage, they all have to have input into the marketing plan and they all have to have buy-in into the marketing plan. The plan won’t work unless you get everybody’s input and everybody’s working together on that marketing plan.”
- 21:08 – “Most of my success and the success that we’ve had either working in the casino or outside on the agency side comes from the fact of having a good team, make sure you get the good team behind you. I know it sounds kinda cliche at times but some of the most successful campaigns and programmes that I’ve put together when I was at the casino or outside at the agency was because of the team we had to build it.”
