07.02.2014 / 11:54
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SYZYGY Group has increased their shareholding in Warsaw-based agency Ars
Thanea from 26 to 70 percent with effect from 06 February 2014. The
remaining shares remain with the management of the company.
Ars Thanea has some 50 employees and is internationally known for their
high-quality work in the field of digital illustration, animation and
interactive design. Co-Founder Peter Jaworowski has been repeatedly named a
Top 10 talent within AdWeek's Talent List.
Also, the gaming division of the company - AT Games - has earned an
international reputation for being a games developer: The iPhone / iPad
game 'Puzzle Craft' has been downloaded almost 4 million times so far and
has won numerous awards, including 'Best of 2012' (Apple), '25 Best iOS
Games ever' (IGN.com), Webby Awards, DICE 2013 and Appy Awards 2013.
Their next blockbuster 'Another Case Solved' will be available for iOS by
the end of February, whilst the next platforms for the game will be
Android, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and PC.
Andy Stevens, COO of SYZYGY Group: 'Peter Jaworowski, Bartlomiej Rozbicki
and PawelłPiotrzkowski have built a company, a team full of extraordinary
talent. The results of the collaboration between Ars Thanea and other
SYZYGY Group entities has been amazing with SYZYGY Group clients, such as
Chanel and Paramount already benefitting from their skills. We are
delighted that Ars Thanea is a full member of the family now and look
forward to delivering more outstanding work for our clients across the
world.'
Bartlomiej Rozbicki, CEO of Ars Thanea: 'We have been cooperating closely
with SYZYGY for over four years now. Over these years we have learned that
we share the same values, not only as companies but also as people. Being
part of the Group will stabilize our position in foreign markets, both in
Europe and the US, but what's even more important is the fact that joining
forces will allow us do even more extraordinary things. In our competitive
market we were looking for an independent and flexible partner and SYZYGY
Group fits the bill perfectly for us at this stage of our development.
Without a doubt everyone will benefit from the strengthening of this
relationship.'
Ars Thanea's client list includes (to name but a few) renowned brands such
as Chanel, Discovery Channel, General Electric, Nike, Nutricia, Nvidia,
Ubisoft and Visa.
