SapientNitro Delivers State-Of-The-Art Digital Platform to MGM Resorts

Omni-Channel Marketing And Commerce Platform Extends Personalized Guest Services to Online and Mobile Touchpoints

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SapientNitro, part of Publicis.Sapient, announced today that it has helped MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) launch a new omni-channel marketing and commerce platform to extend the world-class experience of MGM Resorts’ properties to its online and mobile touchpoints. Designed and delivered by SapientNitro, the platform was introduced through a new MGM Grand Las Vegas website and is scheduled to be rolled out to all of the MGM Resorts’ Las Vegas Strip properties by year end.

“Our goal is to continue to offer our guests a differentiated and world-class experience at every touchpoint,” said John Bollen, Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer of MGM Resorts. “In turn, we expect to drive engagement, increase online booking, and expand share of both market and wallet.”

The new state-of-the-art omni-channel platform, currently being used by MGM Grand, extends the resort’s personalized guest services to the digital space with an immersive, responsive and functionally rich experience that spans devices and properties to serve up information based on time, location and guest preferences. The redefined experience makes it easier for guests to filter, find and act on the content for which they are searching. For example, the booking process now allows visitors to explore and reserve a hotel room, secure a restaurant table, and discover and purchase tickets to entertainment anytime, anywhere and over any device.

“Our goal for MGM is to create a cohesive guest experience across all physical and digital touch points, to enhance guests’ experience of MGM before and during their resort visits,” said RJ Hilgers, Managing Director, SapientNitro. “The new platform is helping MGM Grand deliver that unified experience, and does so in a way that is immersive, personal, engaging, and delightful to resort guests.”

The new platform also offers significant future benefits to marketers of MGM Resorts’ 20+ properties, who are currently managing independent digital experiences for each resort. The ultimate goal is to leverage content and commerce as a service over one scalable platform that streamlines all technologies, content, and data across all parts of the organization into one consolidated system that powers guest interactions across a variety of channels.

The platform, based on SapientNitro’s Integrated Experience Architecture (IEA), takes full advantage of the Adobe Marketing Cloud. Its modular design applies the reusable templates, content and digital assets of Adobe's Experience Manager and integrates them with the data collection and assessment tools of Adobe Analytics. As a result, the experience that MGM Grand can now create for guests is highly personalized and the tools allow the resort to finely tune, optimize and validate the guest experience using Adobe's Targeting Tools to drive A-B testing campaigns.

“With Adobe Marketing Cloud, our strategy is to continually innovate to provide the industry’s most comprehensive set of best-of-breed, yet highly integrated, marketing solutions,” said Jay Simpson, Vice President, Global Partners, Adobe. “But we also partner extensively with advanced agencies like SapientNitro to combine our technology with their marketing strategy and deployment expertise. With a visionary company like MGM, we see how this strategy can change industries and accelerate digital transformation.”
