AFFILIATE MANAGER INTERVIEW SERIES They’re the perfect place to meet, learn, and kickstart collaborations. Make the most of it! Outside of your professional life in iGaming, what are some of your hobbies or interests that help you recharge? I’m a huge sports enthusiast — I work out every day without fail. Hiking is another passion of mine; it’s the perfect way to clear my mind and soak in nature. I am currently living in the Mediterranean, and undoubtedly, it does wonders for one’s well-being. The region’s stunning landscapes, with their mountains and sea, are incredibly refreshing. I feel energized whether at home with a good book or taking my dog for a walk. And, I have to admit, I love singing karaoke! It’s such a fun way to let loose and express myself. So, between sports, the beautiful surroundings, and a good karaoke session, I always find ways to recharge and keep my spirits high. Do you gamble? I played in online casinos a couple of times, won a bit, and lost once, which was enough for me. But sometimes I enjoy going to a land-based casino with friends for fun. When I do play, I’m not into slots at all. I’d rather try my hand at blackjack or poker. For me, it’s all about the experience and hanging out with friends. I see it as a form of entertainment. That’s why I always set limits for myself. For example, if I’m OK with losing €100, that’s my cutoff. Once I hit that, I’m done for the night. In short, I can enjoy a game or two, but I know when to stop. What is your favorite movie of all time and why? It is The Intouchables (also known as 1+1). I love how it beautifully portrays the deep friendship between two completely different individuals, ultimately transforming each other’s lives for the better. This film is incredibly inspiring as it encourages us to be open-minded, cherish genuine connections, and offer help to those around us. I try to apply this philosophy both in my personal life and in my work, always looking for the potential in people rather than focusing on their limitations. key for both affiliates and managers is to bring your best energy and be prepared. If you have meetings lined up, know your goals, and be ready to make the most of them. Stay open and approachable for spontaneous meetups. As an affiliate manager, be ready to share your brand’s story and provide clear, accurate information. If you’re an affiliate, don’t be shy — introduce yourself, ask questions, and gather as much information as you can. Conferences are about making connections, so use this time to network and build relationships. Making mistakes is just part of the learning curve in affiliate marketing. It’s all about gaining experience, so don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t go perfectly at first. Rule Number 1: Always listen to your partners. Rule Number 2: Don’t just listen, but try to hear their real needs. I always go above and beyond to fulfill their requests. GPWAtimes.org 66
