Groove Makes Strategic Strides in Georgia with Team Visit
Platform and aggregator Groove has marked a key milestone in Georgia, solidifying its presence with a special visit from Social Media Brand Marketing and Senior Account Manager, Rachel Tourgeman. Rachel, a pivotal figure in Groove’s rapid expansion, was hosted by SmartSoft, one of the region’s leading players, as she took part in an immersive exploration of Georgia’s potential and opportunities within the iGaming industry.
Groove, known for its cutting-edge technology and innovation, continues to revolutionise the iGaming sector with its comprehensive platform and game aggregator. Its portfolio now boasts over 15,000 games from more than 100 top-tier providers, adding over 100 new titles every month, ensuring operators and casinos always have fresh content to captivate players.
From humble beginnings with a few small accounts, Rachel has proven her expertise by turning them into success stories almost overnight. Since joining Groove mid-pandemic in 2020, she has become an integral part of the company, wearing many hats and driving the brand’s growth on multiple fronts.
Whether it’s fostering client relationships, attending major conferences, or now managing Groove’s press releases and social media strategies, her dedication has been tireless. Her visit to Georgia was not just a testament to her commitment but also underscored the region’s growing importance in Groove’s global ambitions.
Georgia, along with key markets like Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, and Slovenia, serves as a strategic hub for Groove’s operations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. These regions provide not only fertile ground for business but also insights into diverse cultural, political, and regulatory environments, essential knowledge for scaling globally.
Rachel’s visit focused on refining marketing strategies and strengthening account management, working closely with the Groove Georgia team to ensure seamless cross-border collaboration.
“It was lovely catching up with our team in Georgia,” Rachel commented, highlighting the productive sessions she held on marketing and account management. ” These few days with SmartSoft and the Groove Georgia team really show that this region is a powerhouse within the global industry.”
Groove’s entertainment and technology ecosystem is also packed with powerful marketing tools, like free spins and interactive features, alongside data-driven analytics, giving businesses the tools they need to thrive in an ever-competitive market.
Groove’s expansion into regions like Georgia demonstrates its forward-thinking strategy, combining local expertise with global ambitions. With a strong team on the ground, and key players like Rachel Tourgeman driving the charge, Groove is poised for even greater success.
Yahale Meltzer, COO and Co-founder of Groove, echoed her sentiments, underscoring the strategic importance of Georgia within the company’s long-term plans. “Georgia is an important strategic centre for Groove,” Meltzer noted. “I am delighted Rachel was able to represent us with SmartSoft and discuss strategy with our team in Georgia. Groove is not just connecting the dots in Georgia, we are redrawing the map of the iGaming world.”
