“There is a recent phenomena of people of all ages spending more and more time on screens with app games being a major driving force. With this trend, we feel that the time couldn’t be more perfect to launch the Temple Run consumer product program in our markets. We are thrilled about this great opportunity and excited for what the future holds for this wonderful franchise.” adds, Lim Mi-Kyoung, Managing Director of Wild Pumpkin.
“DBG passionately believes that the next generation of media properties driving consumer products programs for kids & adults are going to come from the digital space, or at least have one leg firmly planted there.
