Andrej Nabergo CEO Outfit7 Talking Tom has come along way. “Tom” and “Ben the Dog” are being represented by WME, the same firm that represents Keira Knightley and pop queen Lady Gaga. Not too shabby for what was once an off the shelf 3d cat model, so Andrej knows all about the the ins and outs of nurturing winning IP. Talking Tom and friends have been downloaded over 135million times. An elegantly simple entertaining interactive app that has become a worldwide phenomen. Bring your questions on building engaging IP or general entrepeneurship. This man knows!
Thomas Chung VP & GM, The Playforge Don’t know how to do in app monetization? Thomas Chung knows how. Free iphone app Zombie Farm uses it. Zombie farm has a revenue run rate of “double digit millions,” all
thanks to virtual goods. Accoding to Business Insider, “Virtual goods is big business for iPhone apps now. Three of the top
ten grossing apps are free, making all of their money from virtual
goods. (Zombie Farm is the number seven gross app in the App Store.)”
Besides asking Thomas about how to harvest zombies and money, you may want to ask him about the strategies he and his team used for building a great game in general at Playforge. The team will be launching a new game soon. We are all ears,
