Gaming Alerts Interview with PKR at Poker in the Park
17th August, 2009
During our time at Poker in the Park, the Gaming Alerts team managed to pull Erica from PKR to one side to ask her a few questions regarding their attendance at Poker in the Park as the main sponsor.
By being the main sponsor, PKR aimed to try and get their online poker brand out there, and bring a physical entity to their online reality.
Throughout the two days of the event, PKR offered visitors the opportunity to participate in tournaments held every hour, on the half hour, each sponsored by a different company.
PKR have attended Poker in the Park for 3 years running now, and have seen the progressive development of the event through the years. Erica described the opening as ‘incredible’ – seeing hundreds of people flooding into the event as soon as the doors open is one of the ways the event as gained popularity over the years.
PKR were based in the ‘Poker dome’ – which saw visits from WSOP attendee’s and players, as well as regular visitors who enjoyed the various tournaments and massages from the Xhilirate girls!
PKR aimed to raise brand awareness and put a face to their virtual brand, as well as encourage people to sign up to their online poker site.
