Eric Karp Named Chief Licensing Officer for Lima Sky

NEW YORK: Eric Karp, the head of licensing for the Americas at Moshi Monsters creator Mind Candy, is joining Lima Sky as its chief licensing officer.

Lima Sky is the creator of the Doodle Jump mobile game sensation. The iOS development studio and publisher is dedicated to creating entertaining, innovative and educational games and apps. Karp begins his new role at the company by overseeing licensing of Doodle Jump in close collaboration with agent FremantleMedia Enterprises. Karp previously held roles at Chorion, MGM and Fox Family.

“There have been endless opportunities to license Doodle Jump,” said Igor Pusenjak, the founder of Lima Sky. “However, we held back because of concerns about uneven product quality. With the right curators now in place, I can’t wait to show the world the amazing new Doodle Jump products.”
 
“It’s no secret that Doodle Jump is the last untouched powerhouse brand that has emerged from the world of smartphone gaming and apps,” said Karp. “Three straight years at the top of the charts and over 40 million downloads is the result of a carefully developed content strategy. Lima Sky listens closely to its millions of Doodle Jump fans. It’s crucial that ‘Doodle’ and company find their way into the real world in the right way.”
