SAN FRANCISCO - (Business Wire) Video game and advertising serial entrepreneurs today announced the public launch of a new strategy and services firm, Worlds and Games LLC.

The company’s founding partners, Mark Friedler and Karim Sanjabi, are game industry experts with deep relationships in all aspects of the games and advertising industries. Mark Friedler was founder of technology and advertising firms VCast and Gigex. His most recent firm, GameDaily, was acquired by Time Warner’s AOL in 2006.

“If you dig in and look at audience grown and attention in the intersection of gaming, virtual worlds and social media, it’s very exciting, and a very under-served area. We bring our experience to the table to craft unique marketing programs across all these innovative and emerging platforms,” said Karim Sanjabi.

“We have hands on experience on building and monetizing top entertainment experiences,” said Mark Friedler. “Our clients come to us to quickly execute their goals in online entertainment media and we help them build experiences more quickly and efficiently than most can do solely with their internal groups.”
