Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) November 17th, 2009 – Viximo, the only complete provider of virtual goods solutions, and Interscope Geffen A&M, a division of Universal Music Group, the world’s leading music company, today announced that Viximo will be powering virtual goods for Lady Gaga and other Interscope artists.
Virtual goods based on Lady Gaga, like her infamous disco stick and bubble dress, will be made available to Viximo’s extensive network of social networking, online dating, and casual gaming publishers that use Viximo’s Virtual Economy Solution and Virtual Goods apps to power their virtual goods business. In addition, launching today, Lady Gaga will be leveraging Viximo’s technology to offer branded virtual gifts through a customized storefront directly to her 4 million fans on Facebook.
“Virtual goods is a growing opportunity for artists such as Lady Gaga” said Brian Balfour, Founder and VP Product Marketing of Viximo. “Interscope Records continues to innovate being one of the first labels to form a virtual goods strategy for their artists.”
“Virtual goods provide a great way for our artists to expand their brand and engage their fans,” said David Spingarn, Head of New Ventures and Strategic Investments for Interscope Geffen A&M. “We are pleased that Viximo is enabling us to easily execute a virtual goods offering within a great collection of online communities.”
In addition to Lady Gaga, Viximo will also be powering virtual goods for other Interscope artists, such as The Pussycat Dolls, who are also launching a customized storefront today on Facebook. Viximo’s solutions offer everything these artists need to grow a virtual goods business on their Facebook Fan Page, including micropayments, analytics, and – most importantly – exceptional content.
