Direct load (Brand awareness) and Display ads represent 6 sessions over 10 therefore need adequate investments
Input for the Marketing plan
1. The top performing pair owns 9% of the Italian market, which is worth 360Mۥ This is possibly made of 1M customers (Uk as a benchmark, to be validated) betting 18
times a year for an average amount of 20€ per bet (Best guestimate from available data)
2. Traffic to gambling websites is coming from four sources• Direct load, where brand awareness is the key driver• Display Advertising• Referral web sites (e.g. …) excluding social• Search engines (mainly organic search, as PPC is not allowed by Google policies)
3. The Italian betting market is made of male individuals, aged between 25 to 55(over 80% of the market) with different exposure to the digital word,therefore traditional ads are recommended as well (Source: Osservatorio onlinegaming - Politecnico di Milano)
4. From the above we can guesstimate that the potential objective in Year 1 is toacquire a minimum of 100.000 customers• The main assumptions for the next slides are guestimate from a comparable B2C industry, in
absence of specific knowledge

Additional marketing activities to be investigated afterwards:1. Co-marketing activities with a broadcaster; investigate feasibility (~5M TV customers)2.

Summary
1. New customer acquisition is clearly the task for the first fiscal year.Based on the available info I can guesstimate the followingmetrics:• Build Brand awareness (9M sessions, 40K customers)
• Attract visitors via ad display campaigns (6M sessions, 40K customers)
• Assure correct SEO performance (2M sessions, 20K customers)
2. The acquired traffic must be converted at most by:• Best available user experience
• Personalized content served
3. While we acquire further customers, new ones must be on-boarded and developed to support Fiscal Year 16 Sales
