Alea has officially been named Branding of the Year 2024 at the prestigious AffPapa iGaming Awards, recognizing its bold creative direction, market positioning, and unmistakable brand identity in the fast-evolving world of iGaming.
The AffPapa Awards are widely regarded as a benchmark for excellence in the online gaming industry, celebrating standout performance in innovation, product, operations, and, in this case, branding. Alea’s win signals more than just aesthetic achievement—it’s a recognition of how the company has used brand as a strategic growth driver.
“Branding isn’t just about logos and taglines. It’s about building trust, standing out, and resonating with the people you serve. Winning Branding of the Year confirms that we’re doing that right,”
— Alexandre Tomic, Founder, Alea
Why Alea’s Brand Stands Out in iGaming
Bold Identity, Consistent Storytelling
In a highly competitive market, Alea has developed a brand that is instantly recognizable—clean, modern, and rooted in clarity, energy, and innovation. From its minimalist yet vibrant visual identity to its sharp, engaging tone of voice, Alea has created a presence that speaks directly to operators, studios, and partners around the world.
Key elements of Alea’s branding success include:
- A reimagined website focused on performance and storytelling
- Cohesive branding across events, digital, and partner communications
- Strong LinkedIn thought leadership, powered by human-centric content
- Internal branding that fosters employee pride and alignment
This holistic approach has made Alea not just a brand to watch—but a brand to follow.
Campaigns That Cut Through
One of the highlights of Alea’s 2023–2024 branding journey was its standout presence at global events like SiGMA Europe, ICE London, and SBC Rio. The company’s creative booths, unique activations—such as light therapy zones, custom cocktails, and its founder’s Under Pressure podcast recorded inside a hyperbaric chamber—captured attention and made lasting impressions.
These initiatives weren’t just flashy—they were deeply aligned with Alea’s brand values: well-being, performance, and innovation.

A Brand Built on Substance and Strategy
Strategic Positioning in Aggregation
Alea has differentiated itself as a pure-play aggregator in a market full of hybrid solutions. By committing 100% to game aggregation, the brand has established a clear, credible niche. This clarity of purpose strengthens the brand story and aligns all messaging across channels.
The Aggregation page on Alea’s website clearly communicates this singular focus, helping partners understand the company’s value proposition in seconds. It’s an example of how brand and business strategy are perfectly in sync.

Global Consistency, Local Relevance
While Alea operates globally, it tailors its communications and branding for key markets like Brazil, Spain, and India. This duality—consistent global branding with hyper-local relevance—is part of what impressed the AffPapa Awards judges.
Whether it’s launching a Portuguese-language site for Brazil or hosting region-specific activations, Alea’s brand always meets the audience where they are—culturally, linguistically, and emotionally.
Behind the Brand: People Power
Alea’s branding excellence isn’t just the result of external campaigns—it’s embedded in its company culture. The company invests heavily in employee wellness, creative autonomy, and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring the brand is lived as much as it’s shown.
Internal initiatives that fuel Alea’s brand strength:
- Well-being programs, including hyperbaric therapy and fitness challenges
- Design-thinking sessions to foster innovation
- Cross-team marketing workshops that align voice and visuals across touchpoints
What’s Next for Alea’s Brand Journey?
Winning Branding of the Year is a milestone—but Alea has no plans to slow down. In the coming months, the company will:
- Launch a refreshed visual system for its growing portfolio of solutions
- Expand its brand storytelling into new formats, including video, podcasts, and behind-the-scenes documentaries
- Deepen its employer branding strategy to attract top creative talent
Alea also plans to host branding masterclasses at major industry events, sharing insights into what it takes to build a category-leading brand in iGaming.
