AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company that is transforming how, where and when the lottery is played, today announced that Greg Potts has joined the Company as Global Vice President of Affiliate Success.
Mr. Potts has over 25 years of strategic marketing experience, including the implementation of growth strategies for consumer brands and their channel affiliates through targeted, local marketing efforts using co-op funding mechanisms. At Lottery.com, he will be leading the execution of the Company’s B2B growth strategy and will oversee the recently launched Global Affiliate Marketing Program. His responsibilities will include developing multiple recurring revenue streams for the Company by adding new master affiliates and sub-affiliates, and providing them with tools designed to accelerate the sales of Lottery.com products.
Mr. Potts most recently served as a Senior Sales Executive for Vericast, where he oversaw the channel affiliate program and specialized in co-op marketing, customer activation, and integrated media campaigns. Prior to his work at Vericast, he focused on helping brands deploy the technology needed to fully support their B2B2C marketing programs.
In addition to executing its B2B strategic growth initiatives, the Company anticipates launching its previously announced targeted customer marketing campaigns before the end of 2021. These multi-media campaigns include paid social media advertising, search engine optimization, and interactive display advertising. In preparation for the launch of these campaigns, the Company has been focused on maintaining its favorable customer acquisitions costs, which have averaged approximately $4 per user since the first quarter of 2020, and improving gross profit per transaction, which increased to $1.69 in the third quarter of 2021 from $0.93 in the prior year period.
“On behalf of the entire team, we’d like to welcome Greg. We expect that his experience and track record of successfully implementing affiliate market programs will be significant assets as we execute our strategic plan to expand and grow our B2B2C segment. Combined with our targeted marketing campaigns in our B2C segment, we anticipate reaching a wider audience and accelerating growth in both segments in 2022 and beyond,” said Tony DiMatteo, CEO and Co-Founder of Lottery.com.
“I am thrilled to join Lottery.com, which has already developed an impressive B2B business, including several blue-chip affiliates and easily-integrated API software. With the recent launch of the Global Affiliate Marketing Program, Lottery has the opportunity to greatly expand its B2B2C user base, and I look forward to helping the Company realize this growth,” Mr. Potts added.
