"Casino Rouge tapped Object 9 to help us overcome growing
threats from larger, destination-style casinos. We needed an upscale
presence that reflected a bigger and better casino that also
incorporated our signature red color," stated Mike Odom, strategic
marketing director for Casino Rouge. "Redesign efforts contributed to
an increase in awareness, market share and response to promotions.
Additionally, we were successful in moving more players into our top
tier database."
