17:05 3rd Person. Mobile Gaming Innovation – Interactive Mobile Soaps
CEO Lars Loppnau, 3rd Person
In 2003, the founders of 3rd Person saw the potential in games for women – which nobody at the time believed in.
In 2006, women generated up to 65 percent of the mobile market revenue in the UK, and an estimated 55 percent in Scandinavia … now some people are starting to believe…
In 2007, 3rd Person will realise its 2003 mission-statement “to be the First Mover and the Rule Breaker in mobile entertainment formats for women”.
Introducing “Misslead” - the first interactive mobile soap format - made by women for women. 3rd Person believes that the mobile platform is now ready for serious entertainment.
In order to develop what the target group wants and deserves, focus throughout every part of the development process has been to work with “user approved” workflows. Extensive use of external facilitators, user-groups and individuals has been at the core of the development and production process. More than 40 women have been involved in the product testing and designing. And to mirror the input, the production team at 3rd Person has been women throughout all relevant areas.
17:20 // Networking
Afterwards, there will be time to meet other people working in the mobile area, and to enjoy refreshments.
