WINR

Bon Voyage, Celo! Marcelo kicks off another whirlwind year on the road (200 days overseas, no less!). Time to build on last year’s momentum and take WINR to the next level. Safe travels - here’s to making an impact, growing the team, and maybe even getting a full night’s sleep in one city! 

At WINR, we love seeing talented individuals grow and succeed, and today, we’re celebrating an incredible achievement of our former intern, Chau Anh Cong! Chau worked with us last year on the Vietnam Parser project, bringing dedication, curiosity, and innovation to the team. We’re thrilled to see her recognised in the 2025 Top 100 Future Leaders for the Suncorp Group Technology Award, a well-deserved honour! "Chau embodies the values we champion at WINR - quality, innovation, and the ambition to make an impact. We are immensely proud to have been part of her journey and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next." — Malcolm Treanor, COO, WINR It’s inspiring to see young talent like Chau making an impact, and we can’t wait to see where her journey takes her next. Join us in congratulating Chau on this amazing milestone! 🎉

Marcelo is back hosting another Give a Little Love Golf Day on Thursday, 13th February at 7AM at The Australian Golf Club, tackling the elephant in the room -mental health. It’s a morning of fun and, more importantly, open and meaningful conversations. The event is fully booked, but you can still make a difference by donating to support batyr and Smiling Mind. Let’s keep spreading love and breaking the stigma.

Great ideas happen when experts come together. Join our very own Marcelo Ulvert, with leaders from LiveRamp and Kantar IBOPE Media, for a LiveRamp webinar as he shares insights on the value of identity resolution and how WINR helps to bridge the identity gap.

At WINR, meaningful connections are at the heart of everything we do. This Valentine’s Day, we’re proud to support Wayside Chapel an organisation offering vital services and unconditional love to people experiencing homelessness and social isolation.  This year, they're inviting everyone to ‘share a pair’ and spread compassion with a simple yet impactful gesture. As Wayside Chapel beautifully reminds us: "Show Sydney's most vulnerable people that they are loved and not forgotten. After all, nothing says 'I love you' like a clean pair of undies!”  Donate here: https://lnkd.in/gw_TXCdz Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. Let’s make this day about giving love and happiness.  From all of us at WINR, thank you for sharing the love this Valentine’s Day.

Alongside industry experts from LiveRamp and Kantar IBOPE Media, WINR’s CEO, Marcelo Ulvert, will be sharing his insights at an exclusive webinar next month: “Driving Results with Data Partnerships". The free online event, featuring Head of Sales at LiveRamp Brazil, Thaissa Gentil de Albuquerque Sá, and Global Product Manager at Kantar IBOPE Media, Lusia Nicolino, will uncover how brands are transforming their marketing strategies through identity resolution and advanced audience analytics. Through practical strategies and real-life case studies, Marcelo will illustrate how to strengthen first-party data strategies to bridge data gaps and extend reach, as well as leverage solutions like identity resolution.
