PM Orchard was born when founder Eve Horne saw the need for companies to innovate their product and service offerings to adapt to the pandemic's changing climate. “The pandemic affected so many industries, and this was an opportunity to take the skills and background I have gained from the military, my career in gaming, and my experience using gamification to help businesses gain an advantage in this economy,” Eve Horne explained. “Loyalty and engagement are issues facing every business right now, and Gamification is the perfect system to analyze the customer journey. Once we identify where the breaks are in the journey, we use game design mechanics to introduce elements that would make the journey more engaging. With game elements being so ubiquitous, we can truly scale the elements to the needs of the client, anything from live-action games or manual processes to full-on game development,” stated CEO Eve Horne.
PM Orchard has built a network of professionals to tap into to support other industries. Mrs. Horne’s decade of experience in the gaming industry made G2E the clear choice to launch the company. “There is no other place I would want to launch PM Orchard than during G2E. It was imperative,” exclaimed Mrs. Horne. PM Orchard offers multiple services focused on gamification and casino marketing. Additionally, the company has developed its own promotional marketing software rolling out in the first quarter of 2021.
