Venture Creates World’s Largest Publisher of Mobile Children’s Entertainment
LOS ANGELES – March 29, 2011 – Today at the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, Italy, U.S.-based FrogDogMedia and Germany-based zuuka! GmbH joined forces to create the world’s largest publisher of mobile children’s entertainment. Under the name zuuka, the company will utilize the largely successful iStoryTime name as its flagship label and joint brand.
With more than 100 Apps available in 80 countries from industry-leading clients DreamWorks, Cartoon Network, The Jim Henson Company, Thienemann, Carlsen, arsEdition, Jacoby&Stuart and Random House, zuuka provides content owners a distribution channel for delivering mobile children’s entertainment content on a global scale. zuuka is available on Apple’s iPhone, iPod touch and iPad as well as a wide range of Android devices through the Google and Amazon Android marketplaces and soon will be available on Android tablets, such as the Motorola Xoom.
“Joining two market leaders under the zuuka name provides content owners access to years of expertise and an international distribution network,” said co-founder Woody Sears of FrogDogMedia. “Our combined experience in development, design, audio and animation skills along with a long history of successfully executed self-published, co-developed and white label projects ultimately makes us the perfect digital publishing partner for anyone with premier content.”
zuuka is the combination of two market leaders in their respective segments, resulting in an even stronger international market position. The company’s continued strategy will maintain its focus on original properties including zuuka! GmbH’s “Mika’s Adventure” as well as licensed content for the new digital-savvy generation and their families.
