These two social networks join Viximo’s constantly expanding network of partners, helping the company’s global reach continue on its trajectory of growth and reinforcing the company’s focus on Europe.
“Germany is home to an enormous community of gamers, and is of huge importance to our game developer partners, so we are very excited to be able to bring their games to Lokalisten’s sites,” said Dale Strang, CEO, Viximo. “These networks offer an untapped, highly-engaged base of global users to our developer partners, who in turn deliver a selection of top quality, high monetizing social games that are optimized to take advantage of each network’s specific social features.”
Lokalisten, with more than 3.6 million members, is Germany’s third largest social networking site and adds valuable reach to Viximo’s global presence.
