As part of Bigpoint’s push into the U.S., the company has tapped market-leader Intergi Entertainment for online advertising services across all its properties in North America.
“The United States is the largest games market in the Western world, and we are committed to developing a very large and successful presence here,” said Bigpoint CEO, Heiko Hubertz. “Just as we are developing games specifically for America, the overall experience, including advertising, has to be similarly appropriate and top notch. Intergi is the only partner that can deliver both the premier advertisers and user experience we are looking for.”
