Activision Blizzard and the Call of Duty Endowment are thrilled to be named the 2018 Gold Halo Award winner in the Social Services Category. The Halo Awards are North America’s highest honor for corporate social initiatives and cause marketing and presented by Engage for Good. This is the 3rd time the Call of Duty Endowment has been recognized by the Halo Awards for their efforts in the #veteran space “We’re so grateful for this recognition,” Dan Goldenberg, Executive Director of the Call of Duty Endowment. “Having started 2017 with the goal to deeply integrated our cause with Call of Duty: World War II’s great content, this is incredible validation of a campaign that has helped thousands of veterans find meaningful employment and educated millions of gamers about the Greatest Generation’s sacrifices and accomplishments.”
"The Activision segment saw a solid 45% growth in net revenues in Q1, primarily led by Call of Duty: WWII, which was released in Nov '17. The growth was also aided by Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Looking forward, the company plans to release Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 later this year, and this will likely aid the segment growth. We estimate the average active monthly users to be around 50 Mil, and average revenue per user to be $53 for 2018."
Paul Yan began working at the Toys For Bob studio as a character animator and technical director right at the end of Madagascar’s production. Before he joined Toys For Bob, Yan had worked in the web development industry and quickly learned the demands of making a video game, especially one that had to adjust quickly to a changing script and character list while the film was in development. “I quickly found out that video games are harder than web development,” Yan said with a laugh. “It’s a different type of software, but still very fun. It takes an army."
“We’re honored to have come together with the USO entertainment team through this extraordinary opportunity to spend time with active duty service members stationed overseas as a further reflection of our appreciation and recognition for their service,” said Dan Goldenberg, Executive Director of the Call of Duty Endowment “The Call of Duty Endowment shares a common bond with the USO to support the men and women of our armed forces. Through this tour we visited as many troops as possible to add some fun to their daily routine. On behalf of the Endowment, the Call of Duty team and everyone at Activision, we’re grateful to them for their service.”
"I firmly believe in 'You Gotta Have Fun To Make Fun', and I’m fortunate enough to come into the office every morning to a culture and team that embody just that. Keeping things fun and fresh are essential to making your profession feel less like work and more like play." - Stephanie Bertran, Employee Communications #ATVILife #ItsThePeople #WorkWithHeroes
