This week we're joined by Tenth Man CEO Ken Robertson for Part 01 of a 2 parter covering his storied history in the industry and his time with Tenth Man
Ken spoke to us about
How the Paddy Power brand DNA was heavily influenced by co-founder Stuart Kenny.
How the company hired Nick Leeson—famous for crashing Barings Bank—reasoning it would be interesting to have the world's biggest loser launch Ireland's biggest sports betting site
How the proxy effect strategy helped the brand's marketing cut through, particularly with young men
How the marketing team operated with significant freedom under CEO Patrick Kennedy, who understood that the brand's uniqueness was its strength.
In a bid for global publicity, why the company sponsored Dennis Rodman to organize a basketball tournament in North Korea for Kim Jong-un's birthday.
