Business Outlook
Pros
IGA success in Football Manager. The tech works and clients have good experience integrating the SDK.
Cons
If there was a case study on how to screw up a company that could easily hit £100M market cap, this would be it.
Empathy for new hires who are conned into joining a business that seemingly looked revolutionary, but is led by a severely incompetent CEO. Not just from a business perspective, but in his character.
1. Promised the market X number of AAA titles - All potential deals not near the dotted line, but hyped as "signed".
2. Acquired mobile games are a result of reactionary strategy to competitors' movement.
3. Current Revenue Generation - Less SDK, more sponsorship.
4. Sales doesn't understand gaming, and it shows when speaking to publishers. Pressuring publishers to meet timelines doesn't really bode well for relationship building within the industry. Ask about Bidstack within the IGA and gaming space, aggression comes to mind.
5. CEO pivoted into gaming from selling physical ads space. Doesn't want to step aside as he is invested in this personally. Doesn't take opinions and suggestions that doesn't align with his too kindly. Not a problem if CEO can back his sass with the numbers and pounds.
6. Company is bleeding, but money is pumped into sponsoring a football club. Get your priorities right. No successful CEO operates like this.
Before the company loses ground to its competitors, other members of the leadership team should step up to oust the CEO before he burns it to the ground.
Advice to Management
Other senior management better step up and oust the CEO before he burns Bidstack to the ground.
