AGA Appoints Former Commanders Executive as New Communications Leader
The American Gaming Association (AGA) has brought on Maloney, a former executive with the Washington Commanders, to their leadership team.
Maloney will be the AGA’s new senior vice president of strategic communications. He will oversee all of the organization’s communications, research, marketing, and public relations.
Maloney will begin his new position in January 2024. He is departing the Commanders, where he has served as the team’s vice president of public affairs and strategic communications since December 2020.
Prior to that, he was a partner at the public affairs firm Locust Street Group. He also worked as a principal at Dewey Square Group and held various roles at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Maloney also contributed to the John Kerry presidential campaign from October 2003 to December 2004. He was a field organizer and field director.
“I am thrilled to join the AGA and their team during this significant period for the gaming industry,” Maloney stated. “The future appears bright. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to discuss the positive impact legal gaming has on the economy nationwide.”
The American Gaming Association (AGA) declared the selection of Joe as their new leader of communications. This follows the AGA’s report last month that US commercial gaming is still on course to establish a new income record. The third quarter witnessed revenue hitting a record $16.17 billion.
Bill Miller, the president and chief executive officer of the AGA, conveyed his enthusiasm regarding Joe’s appointment, emphasizing his expertise and fervor for the casino gaming industry.
The third quarter observed a 6.1% year-over-year surge in revenue, marking the 11th consecutive quarter of expansion. Traditional slot and table games experienced a 1.8% rise in revenue, reaching $12.49 billion, while online gaming revenue witnessed a substantial 26% increase, reaching $1.52 billion.
Sports betting revenue also exhibited robust growth, expanding by 22.8% to reach $2.15 billion. Land-based gaming revenue growth sped up to 1.5% in the third quarter, reaching $12.61 billion.
