AI, Marketing & Analytics
With over two decades in the online gaming industry, I specialize in transforming the traditional decision-making process, into an AI data-driven approach. Leveraging business acumen with advanced analytics, machine learning algorithms, and the latest AI technologies.
Hi there!
My name is Víctor Calderón, a seasoned marketer with a passion (maybe obsession) for data science, analytics, and AI, and over 23 years of experience. My expertise includes online customer acquisition, new market penetration, client retention lifecycle, and overall customer lifetime value (CLV) optimization, all rooted in strategic data-driven performance marketing. I have a strong background in Mar-Tech/CRM stack implementation, marketing automation, and data management. I leverage machine learning and AI for real data-driven analytics while maintaining a customer-centric vision at the core.
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to a marketing or business strategies; simply copying what other competitors or do won’t cut it… If you seek to stay ahead, your plan needs to align and resonate with your customers and the financials of your business to succeed!
Marketing should not only be effective but also an enjoyable cool experience for both businesses and customers alike, making it both an art and a science to get right.
