What do we do?

Applifier Impact

Applifier helps players discover fun games and delivers new users to games for free. We pioneered cross-promotion on Facebook with the Applifier Bar and grew it to reach tens of millions of users. We’ve already delivered over 100 million free clicks to the promoted games.

Impact is a “watch a game trailer, earn a virtual item” video ad network for iOS and Android. Game developers use Impact to find highly engaged new users and to monetize existing audiences. Companies like Fresh Planet (Song Pop), Tetris Online and King.com are clients.

Even more cool is that the press dubbed us the Rebel Alliance. How often do you get a chance join those ranks?

Everyplay

We are building social 2.0 for mobile games with Everyplay, which allows players to easily share their greatest gaming moments as video replays. Everyplay connects players together and powers a rich community for games. Everyplay lets you create more personal multiplayer gaming experiences with player-to-player video messages and action replays.

With Everyplay, developers get better discoverability through word-of-mouth as video, increased retention with an engaged player community and higher monetization by making multiplayer games more social. In a market where small and medium-sized mobile game developers are hit hard by ever increasing install prices and market consolidation looms, Everyplay delivers free users through word-of-mouth as video and keeps them playing with meaningful video sharing.

Everyplay allows developers to promote user-generated videos shared from their game, and distributes those ads through our “watch a game video, get a virtual item” video ad network called Impact that is already adopted by publishers like SongPop, Tetris Online with some of the biggest mobile companies joining in. On Facebook, we operate the largest cross-promotion network that reaches over 150 million users.

We want to work with you if you are passionate about building a mobile gaming network that powers small and medium-sized game developers. We are bringing a superior service to market for free, and have already signed up developers with games reaching over 100 million downloads. We’ve got a kickass engineering team, proven track record in helping developers grow and we are gunning for huge market opportunity. Are you ready to rumble?
