FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RALLY MARKETING GROUP ACQUIRING PASSIONFRUIT GAMES
Agency deepens offerings with addition of gaming product and development capabilities

(Seattle, Washington, March 31, 2011) — RALLY Marketing Group announced today that it is acquiring PassionFruit Games, a developer of casual video games designed for the female market.

PassionFruit Games recently released Tiger Eye Part 1: Curse of the Riddle Box, which has become one of the top-selling, novel-based casual games released to date. Among other projects, the next game by PassionFruit is due for release this year. Future releases may include tablet and mobile versions for increased distribution and accessibility.

For RALLY Marketing Group, the proven ability of PassionFruit Games to craft an experience that appeals especially to women, and to deliver it through a flexible gaming platform, aligns seamlessly with the agency’s core strategy of creating compelling experiences that deeply engage with specific sets of consumers.

“Given the importance of the female shopper to our clients, we’ve built an incredible knowledge base and put great effort into understanding how their behavior is changing,” said RALLY CEO, Lisa Clarke. “The acquisition of PassionFruit Games is an example of how RALLY, as an integrated agency, can help our clients capitalize on the evolution of marketing regardless of the platform or media.”

RALLY clients include 7-Eleven, Procter & Gamble, Outback Steakhouse Cargill, Valvoline, Safeway and MillerCoors.

For Melissa Heidrich, Co-founder and Studio Director at PassionFruit Games, finding the right organizational fit was key. “There are many reasons on paper why this union makes sense,” she added, “but my decision is validated daily when we come in, sit in the same offices as one company, and work together to move this exciting new partnership forward.”
