HAMBURG, Germany - Nov. 10, 2009

SPIL GAMES, the worldwide leader in online gaming websites (comScore Media Metrix), is expanding its sales operations by opening an office in Hamburg, Germany. Stefan Beckmann, former Senior Marketing Manager at Scoyo GmbH/Bertelsmann, will lead the sales office as Germany’s Country Manager.

“The team at SPIL GAMES shares my passion for online media,” said Beckmann. “I look forward to helping the company plant deeper roots in Germany.” Beckmann will oversee the sales team as they help brands engage audiences on SPIL GAMES’ German sites—such as Jetztspielen.de, Spielen.com, and GirlsGoGames.de—through targeted campaigns, including interactive and rich media advertising as well as advergame seeding.

Over the past few years, SPIL GAMES has become the worldwide leader in online game destinations. The company owns and operates more than 50 fully localized web properties, allowing advertisers to target audiences by region and demographic. Each casual games website is uniquely designed for specific segments, including families, tweens, teens, and girls.

“The Hamburg office expands our capabilities within Germany,” said Peter Driessen, CEO of SPIL GAMES. “With this new office, we’ll be able to offer our German advertising partners even more dedicated service, giving them even better opportunities to reach their specific demographics through online games.” About Beckmann, he added, “Stefan will undoubtedly manage the new team wonderfully and will help build our brand—which has seen tremendous growth over the last year—further in the German market.”
