ATE and Christiansen Capital Advisors LLC sign strategic partnership agreement London
Two leading global companies in the gaming and gambling sector, exhibition
organiser and publisher ATE and management consultants Christiansen Capital
Advisors, LLC (CCA) announced today a strategic partnership stretching
across European and US territories.
The two
leading companies in the gaming sector will focus on online service developments
through ATE’s new media channel, ATEOnline (www.ateonline.co.uk)
and CCA’s core business and online site, www.cca-i.com.
The two companies will be working together to develop an interactive advisory
service to the European market on the US gaming and gambling sector, providing
information, contact resources and research. The service will act as an
invaluable tool to the European industry that is facing a wealth of new
market and global convergence opportunities.
ATEOnline is currently developing a US Gambling Zone that will be serviced
by CCA. The zone will allow users access to up-to-date news, an interactive
advice board, a people finder, and research such as The Gross Annual Wager,
the most comprehensive statistical database and analysis of gambling
in the United States currently available anywhere. In addition, the companies
will hold exclusive rights to host “Observer Online,” the online publishing
arm of Michael Pollock’s Gaming Industry Observer, an award-winning casino
publication that tracks and analyses trends that impact upon the gaming
industry.
The traditional
global gambling industry is facing positive market convergence with
platforms such as Internet, digital broadcast, telecoms and console. As
a result, the traditional and new emerging operators and manufacturers
require more information and resources to plan business development and
capitalise on global market opportunities.

Peter Rusbridge, CEO of ATE says, “We are extremely pleased to be working
in partnership with a company of CCA’s calibre. CCA’s founders, Eugene
Christiansen and Sebastian Sinclair are at the heart of the US gambling
industry and bring their wealth of consulting experience in the provision
of an information resource that will deliver competitive advantage to our
customers. ATEOnline has enjoyed phenomenal user growth over the past year
and we are committed to providing further value added information, services
and networking opportunities through our new media channel that our international
exhibitions have been doing for many years.”
Commenting, Eugene Christiansen said, “Through our relationship with ATE
we can bring the US closer to Europe, sharing market intelligence and industry
contacts to provide business-critical information. Our partnership is a
powerful alliance and we are very excited regarding the prospects both
companies, by working together, can deliver to the industry.”
