The recognition highlights the company\u2019s creative campaigns, which successfully translate its technical expertise and understanding of operators\u2019 needs into compelling market positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of the Growth Makers Driving Revenue award cluster, the recognition follows SOFTSWISS\u2019 Best Marketing Team win at the EGR Awards in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting operators in regulated markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As igaming businesses scale, they need infrastructure that can withstand peak traffic, maintain reliable operations, and support compliance across multiple regulated markets. In 2026, SOFTSWISS updated its positioning to reflect how it helps operators meet these demands: as a strategic partner for confident growth in regulated markets, bringing together a compliance-ready product ecosystem, industry intelligence and expert-led service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Ready. Set. Grow! campaign<\/strong> brought this positioning to industry audiences through media, digital channels and major igaming events. Following the repositioning launch, clicks on branded search terms increased by 49 per cent in July. Marketing-sourced signed contracts also grew by 113 per cent over the last year, signalling strong demand for the company\u2019s proposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Providing more options for growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>#SOFTSWISSHasMore campaign<\/strong> showed the industry there is far more to the brand than its foundational platform. It raised awareness of a complete product ecosystem, proving that operators need only one technology partner to scale across multiple igaming verticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launched with a LinkedIn post by SOFTSWISS chief marketing officer <strong>Valentina Bagniya<\/strong>, it used a self-ironic message to encourage employees and industry audiences to highlight different products within the ecosystem. The campaign attracted more than 7,000 live viewers during its activation at NEXT Summit Valletta 2026. It also won Best Marketing Campaign at the European iGaming Excellence Awards 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s recent product developments put the growth promise into practice. SOFTSWISS introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/softswiss-back-office-ai-workflow-casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Back Office AI Workflow<\/a> within the Casino Platform, allowing operators to prepare marketing campaigns through natural-language conversations. By reducing manual work, the capability helps marketing teams launch campaigns faster, test more retention strategies, and respond to changing player needs. This creates opportunities to improve player engagement and grow revenue, while keeping operators in control of campaign decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alexandra Kavelich<\/strong>, deputy chief marketing officer at SOFTSWISS, comments: \u201cThis has been a special year for our marketing team.
