This initial investment will assist in funding organic growth and Emotes industry investment portfolio. Electra Quoted has also undertaken to make further funds available throughout the companies' growth strategy. As development costs and production values continue to increase it becomes more important to challenge the risk vs. return profile of each game investment to ensure all viable publishing opportunities are exploited to maximise the exposure of a title. Working with brand owners and developers to grow and leverage IP, Emotes unique business model looks to address the challenges created by the transition from retail to download and from hardware to virtual publishing platforms. The rising popularity in digital publishing platforms such as Home, and the proliferation of connected hardware devices, means opportunities within publishing and distribution have evolved. The Emote model is set to bridge the widening media divide and take advantage of these opportunities by offering proven industry expertise, technology infrastructure and production finance for the development of a diverse range of projects across multiple platforms. Emote intends to build the business through a combination of strategic partnerships to produce a balanced mix of projects based on established and emergent intellectual property. With several major projects already underway emote are looking to acquire brand and development partners to fulfil its production capacity. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
