A Different Perspective on Social Gaming.
Hive Media creates social media games that allow fans to “live” their favorite hit movies, TV series or brands. We work with the top entertainment properties to allow their fans to extend their engagement and live the shows they love via Facebook, iPad and mobile devices. We select shows that have significant brand recognition, large ardent fan bases, and high profile marketing and ad sales programs. Co-marketing efforts with our content partners and access to their fan’s Facebook feeds increases our fan to player conversion rate and results in longer engagement and higher monetization.
Hive has the knowledge & experience to bridge technology and Hollywood deals, an unusual combination among technologists. The founders both have a long history of completing successful deals with Hollywood. With these connections and trust we have unique access to such names as Michael Bay, Scott Gardenhour and studios like Paramount. Hive’s team has the Marketing, Business Development, and Network Security skills necessary to build a successful Hollywood/Technology partnership. The team also has deep game development DNA from EA to lolapps to iWin (Family Feud.)
