SKS365, MARTIN (CEO): “THREE WAYS TO LOOK BEYOND THE EMERGENCY: INNOVATING THE OFFER, SUPPORTING RETAIL, INVESTING IN PEOPLE”
The head of Company that owns Planetwin365 brand spoke about the Italian market during day 1 of SBC Digital Summit: “It is especially in times of crisis that identity and values are rediscovered. We focus on technological and human potential to start out more aware than before”
CEO of SKS365, Alexander Martin, was among the protagonists of the day 1 of the SBC Digital Summit, a virtual five days convention that will see – starting from today until 1st of May – the main exponents of the international betting and gaming market together to understand how to face the crisis caused by the pandemic from Covid-19.
“The post-Coronavirus restart is in itself a bet and one of the most complex that the whole sector has ever had to face. But every crisis – said Martin – brings with it opportunities. In this case, such opportunities lie in improving and broadening the product offering while developing a next generation multichannel identity.”
Martin was a speaker on this first day of the meeting, during the panel Off The bench – What is there to bet on?, during which he talked about leadingSKS365 through the month of restrictions and lockdown, the possible scenarios for the industry once restrictions are relaxed and how SKS365 is reacting both at company and at brand level.
“There are three essential, pillars to follow: offer, retail, people. We worked on our brand, Planetwin365, focusing on enhancing the digital offer, through new features, new products and strategic partnerships with very important providers in the online gaming market. Following the new trends in the field of TV consumption and gaming offerings, our offer has expanded to include lifestyle and entertainment events, in addition to the extremely expanding trend of eSports. In parallel with the brand activity – Martin added, talking about retailers – A specific line of communication has been dedicated to updating the customers of the retail network, in view of the reopening of the Planetwin365 shops. The dialogue with our first and most important ambassadors on the whole Italian territory led to a series of initiatives launched to provide them guidance and support during the lockdown, new product development and specific Opening Safety Kits getting provided to the entire network, making them able to safety reopen and protect both themselves and our customers from the first day on which it will be allowed.”
During the comparison, which took place in live streaming and put some relevant players on the international market in virtual connection, Martin also referred to the third fundamental aspect of the corporate strategy to strengthen its identity and face the crisis, the human capital:
“Like many firms we needed to quickly transition to a new way of working which meant ensuring that all of our employees have the necessary technical equipment, logistical support and, above all, working l conditions to ensure that business operations continued. In a similar nature, we continued with the roll out of our people initiatives which is the ongoing committed investment in our staff, as an example we launched an our first on-line learning platform to ensure we our people had the ongoing development opportunities for both their role as well as personal interests (from language courses to yoga training, passing through leadership seminars, software courses up to music lessons).“

Summoners War X AppGallery Meetup 2024: Exclusive Insights with SWC Europe Cup Champions NEF, ISMOO and STARTIIK
Summoners War, a popular mobile role-playing game, has captivated millions with its turn-based monster battles. Boasting over 220 million total downloads across platforms, Summoners War has cultivated a loyal and passionate fanbase.
To celebrate this dedicated community, the Summoners War X AppGallery Meetup 2024 in Hamburg on 30th November invites fans to engage in exciting activities and connect with the community, with top players NEF and ISMOO headlining this sold-out event. We caught up with NEF, ISMOO and STARTIIK, the top three winners of the SWC 2024 Europe Cup, to dive into their strategies, the influence of AppGallery, and the upcoming meetup.
What key strategies helped you win the Europe Cup and advance to the World Finals’ Semi-Finals match?
NEF: A lot of preparation involved strategizing with my friends and anticipating my opponents’ moves. Additionally, having favourable RNG in critical moments played a crucial role in my success.
What was your turning point in Summoners War that influenced you to start competing professionally?
NEF: Throughout my Summoners War journey, I have met so many incredible people who have really helped shape my experience and push me to grow. Watching ISMOO’s energetic performance on the big stage, gave me the motivation to chase my own dreams and got me to where I am today!
How does it feel to be part of the Summoners War X AppGallery Meetup 2024 and what are your thoughts on AppGallery’s Summoners War campaigns and offline events?
NEF: I am thrilled to be a part of meetup! Being involved in this vibrant community has been such a rewarding experience. I appreciate the variety of Summoners War campaigns that AppGallery offers, catering to all kinds of gamers, regardless of budget. Attending Gamescom last year was a phenomenal experience. The energy was electrifying, and it was amazing connecting with fellow gamers who share the same passion!
What key lessons from your past World Finals experiences have contributed to your success in reaching the World Finals’ Semi-Finals again?
ISMOO: Competing in past World Finals has been a crucial step towards my success in the Semi-Finals. It has taught me to stay composed and avoid costly misplays, even when the stakes are high. I have also learned to better analyse and adapt to opponents’ strategies, enabling me to make smarter decisions and perform more consistently under stress.
Reflecting on your 8-year journey, what key moments shaped your path in Summoners War?
ISMOO: One of the highlights was meeting all my in-game friends from Summoners War, including NEF, that I had only interacted with online. It was incredible to finally meet them in person and getting to know each other better!
Another unforgettable moment was competing in SWC World Finals 2022 in Korea. It was my first time traveling to Asia, and playing live on stage was such an exhilarating and surreal experience.
How does it feel to be part of the Summoners War X AppGallery Meetup 2024 and what are your thoughts on AppGallery’s Summoners War campaigns and offline events?
ISMOO: It feels amazing to be part of this meetup. Reconnecting with the community and meeting so many new people has been a blast! Incredibly grateful for the multiple events that AppGallery has hosted and invited me – It is truly an honour and excited for future events!
What key lessons helped you win second-place at the Europe Cup and advance to the World Finals’ Quarter-Finals match?
STARTIIK: I spent a year focusing on mastering drafts and learning which monsters counter certain meta picks. My Europe Cup preparation involved studying my opponents and analysing their playstyles. However, the World Finals demanded a completely different approach. Preparing for LADRILLO-OS was manageable while LEST’s unpredictability made it more challenging.
As a first-time Europe Cup player, what elements of your gameplay surprise opponents, and does their underestimation give you an edge?
STARTIIK: As a first-timer competitor on stage, many opponents underestimated me despite having experienced my strengths in previous matches. The real challenge lies in proving yourself as a worthy competitor who can handle pressure and deliver consistent results. My fast-paced cleaving strategy has always been my focus but the addition of Lora to my roster this year has strengthened my second-turn gameplay, allowing me to explore new strategies.
How has your AppGallery experience been, and how do its Summoners War campaigns and cashback benefits enhance your gameplay?
STARTIIK: My experience with AppGallery has been great! Installing it on my Android device was a breeze, and navigating the app is intuitive and straightforward. The enticing campaigns and cashback deals have been a great bonus, enabling me to grab some excellent discounts on in-game packs.
