WHAT: Today, Zynga Inc. (Nasdaq: ZNGA), a global leader
in interactive entertainment, announced a marketing partnership
with Emmy award-winning actor, producer and director Alec Baldwin
as part of the company’s 10-year anniversary celebration for the
forever franchise Words With Friends (known within the
player community as the game’s “Friendiversary”).
Launched in 2009, Words With Friends has become the #1
social mobile word game in the United States. The game’s success
through this decade-long journey has been powered by player
connections made through quick and clever wordplay that has become
a touchstone in fans’ lives.
WHEN: Beginning in the Fall, Alec Baldwin will appear in
Words With Friends social content and marketing
programs.
QUOTES: “I have been playing Words With Friends
for nearly a decade, on soundstages, in greenrooms, and on
airplanes,” said actor Alec Baldwin. “It’s great to play a game
that engages your intellect and your social side
simultaneously—that’s why I spelled ‘Y-E-S’ when Zynga asked me to
get involved.”
“Alec Baldwin and Words With Friends are forever linked
in popular culture, and his authentic love for the game resonates
with the game’s community,” said Bernard Kim, Zynga’s President of
Publishing. “Zynga is incredibly honored to be partnering with Alec
Baldwin to celebrate the 10-year milestone of our beloved mobile
game, Words With Friends.”
