The editorial outlines the company’s subscription initiative, Game A Day, its moves in new billing models and micro-payments as well as acquisitions like that of US based Sennari.

CEO Eric Hobson, commented, “This is great recognition of the work that we have been doing outside of our core business. While not losing site of the current business of publishing award winning games on mobile, we have been working on initiatives that will ready Connect2Media for the future.
