The two largest gaming industry trade and business-to-business publications on two continents – North America and Asia – announced a strategic partnership and multi-faceted cooperation agreement Monday.
CDC Gaming Reports and Inside Asian Gaming will share editorial content and provide key contacts and regional cooperation when CDC team members visit Asia or IAG team members visit North America.
In particular, the two media organizations will work together during key industry trade shows and events such as the upcoming Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, G2E Asia, and ICE London.
As part of the editorial content sharing agreement, IAG supplies a designated daily feed of Asian gaming industry news to a newly designated section on the homepage of the CDC Gaming Reports website at www.cdcgamingreports.com.
Likewise, a designated daily feed of the latest industry news from North America can be found on the IAG homepage at www.asgam.com.
“Over the last five years CDC Gaming Reports and Inside Asian Gaming have made tremendous strides in the covering and distributing worldwide gaming industry news” said Jeffrey Compton, publisher of CDC Gaming Reports. “There are many fine organizations covering Asian gaming industry news, but Inside Asian Gaming was our standout first choice for a strategic media partnership.”
Inside Asian Gaming Managing Editor Ben Blaschke said he was “absolutely thrilled to be part of this close working partnership with Jeffrey Compton, CDC Associate Publisher Cory Roberts and the CDC Gaming Reports team.
“Much like IAG in Asia, CDC has long been recognized as the number one source for news and analysis of the North American gaming industry,” Blaschke said. “This partnership will not only broaden the reach of both organizations but provide welcome support and expertise as the gaming industry continues its rapid expansion around the globe.”
CDC publishes and distributes via email three daily newsletters – The Flash, Adams Daily Report, and Last Call – two weekly newsletters, Hot Clicks and Picks and Weekend Report, and the currently bimonthly Tottenham Report, which looks at the European gaming market. The Tottenham Report will move to a weekly format in the near future. CDC also produces the monthly Adams Revenue Revue and the quarterly Adams Analysis, as well as From the Floor, a special publication issued during major gaming industry trade shows and conferences, including G2E and ICE London.
Last month CDC introduced CDCGaming.asia, a Chinese-language gaming industry website featuring original translated news stories and commentaries from CDC Gaming Reports and Inside Asian Gaming.
Founded in 2005, Inside Asian Gaming has a broad business editorial focus on the Asian gaming and integrated resort industry. It is widely distributed to industry executives throughout Macau and the rest of Asia in two formats: a monthly digital and print magazine and a daily e-newsletter titled IAG Breakfast Briefing. In January 2019, Inside Asian Gaming launched IAG Japan to cover the burgeoning Integrated Resort industry in Japan. Since 2008, IAG has published “The Asian Gaming Power 50,” which ranks the 50 most influential and prominent Asian gaming industry leaders and executives.
