Gaming Innovation Group has appointed Martin Collins as the new Director of Sales and Business Development, heading up the sales, business development and marketing team. 

 

 

Martin Collins joined GiG in 2019 as Director of Talent Acquisition, before being promoted to Director of Business Development. He has over two decades of experience working within digital markets, twelve of which were spent within the gaming sector. 

 

 

As part of GiG’s wider commercial strategic approach to better align their sales efforts,  Martin will oversee the sales, business development and marketing teams at GiG. 

 

Ben Clemes, CCO and MD of Platform at GiG, said, “ Martin has been with GiG for over two and a half years, working as Director of Business Development. Within that time he has helped to empower the organisation to grow and drive revenue. I am excited to announce Martin’s additional responsibilities and have every confidence that aligning the three teams (sales, business development and marketing) will have a positive impact on our commercial pipeline. 

 

Martin Collins, Director of Sales and Business Development said, “Having been within the organisation for two and a half years now and having worked heavily with the leadership team to create and deliver our B2B strategy, driving value, growth and revenue at every opportunity; the addition of the combined sales and marketing component drives even more synergy across the organisation and helps ensure alignment in everything we do. I am also lucky enough to inherit two superstars in Ricky Ruddock on the sales team, whom I worked with for over 15 years prior to even coming to GiG; and Rhea Craib, who has successfully delivered our B2B marketing strategy for the last 18 months. With 3 additional hires starting in September, I am very much looking forward to the challenge and working across the organisation to deliver success to GiG.
