MGM Resorts: Shaping the Public Dialogue on Integrated Entertainment
As Thailand debated its Entertainment Complex Bill in 2025, MGM Resorts International engaged Ruder Finn Era for strategic counsel, daily policy and sentiment monitoring and nationwide Thai language media engagement, reframing the conversation from gambling concerns to economic benefit.
The challenge
Thailand's proposed Entertainment Complex Bill was a live political issue with strong views on all sides. MGM Resorts International needed to take part in the public conversation responsibly, as an operator of integrated resorts with a record on responsible gaming, rather than be defined by the debate's loudest voices.
Our solution
Ruder Finn Era provided strategic counsel and daily monitoring of policy, media and public sentiment, then engaged Thai language media nationwide with evidence on jobs, tourism and investment, so that coverage reflected the economic case and the company's standards rather than gambling concerns alone.
