LOS ANGELES: Sanrio, the global brand best known for the Hello Kitty character, has partnered with video-game developer Hyper Hippo to roll out a suite of lifestyle apps.<\/p>\n
Titled hello sanrio, the digital project will explore the world of Sanrio through Hello Kitty and multiple characters from the company’s design portfolio, including Keroppi, Chococat, Badtz-Maru, My Melody, Pompompurin, Gudetama and more. The apps are due out this summer.<\/p>\n
“The hello sanrio app family will combine social communication and our legendary breadth of characters to offer fans a new touch point to experience the brand,” said Jill Koch, the senior VP of brand management and marketing at Sanrio. “This marks the first time Sanrio will launch a new brand with digital content and merge the worlds of our characters so they can interact with one another. Our goal is to provide a platform for fans to connect and engage with each other and Sanrio’s expansive family of characters.”<\/p>\n
“We love how Sanrio’s founding principles of social communication and the sharing of small gifts is a perfect fit with today’s digital world,” said Lance Priebe, the CEO of Hyper Hippo. “Hyper Hippo is thrilled to be creating a new and unique suite of lifestyle apps for fans of Hello Kitty and her many friends.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
