Rovio Entertainment has appointed IMG as the exclusive worldwide consumer products licensing agent for the iconic Angry Birds franchise, the companies announced Wednesday.
Since launching its first mobile game in 2009, Angry Birds has grown into a multi-media brand with a presence in several areas of entertainment, technology and merchandising. It still draws tens of millions of active users and viewers of its games and animated content. Franchise characters have also populated two movie releases, which together grossed more than $500 million worldwide, plus animated series, location-based entertainment and consumer products.
Mobile games from the franchise have been downloaded over 4.5 billion times.
Finland-based Rovio had a high-profile Ipo in 2017 that valued the company at $1 billion. Its results since then have been much more subdued and its share price has not returned to its Ipo level. For the full year 2019, the company’s revenue inched up 3% to $313.7 million, while adjusted operating profits dropped 43% to $19.6 million.
