Kalypso Media/Advantage Distribution deal

UK agreement shaken upon.

Bracknell, UK (January 2009) - Kalypso Media UK and Advantage Distribution have today announced a new UK Distribution Partnership

Andrew Johnson, Commercial Director of Kalypso Media UK commented; It’s great to be working with Max and his team at Advantage, there service into the independents is invaluable and a very big part of our growth strategy. Advantage will also be offering the Kalypso titles into Play and Amazon on our behalf, we will be dealing directly with the other major retailers. We have a very strong line up for 2009/10 and with Advantage as our partner we will be able to maximise the opportunities that are available to us.

Max Butler, General Manager at Advantage Distribution added; "Kalypso is an ambitious new publisher with a very strong vision and catalogue of great games. We are delighted to have been chosen to help make this vision a reality and to further establish Kalypso with the hardcore PC gamer. We are particularly pleased that Kalypso has recognised the experience we have with the independent sector. Historically this is a key retail channel when it comes to breaking new publishers and formats and independents have a particular understanding of the PC gamers needs."
