“We could not ask for a better social gaming partner than Real Plums,” says Greg Zinone, President and Founder of Pro vs. GI Joe. “The company’s Auction Plums fits perfectly into our expanding social media strategy.”
Auction Plums ushers in a new paradigm of social gaming by marrying real commerce with its virtual counterpart in an auction room environment. With access to more than $2 Billion of auctionable merchandise set to flow through its virtual auction halls, the game, which officially launches in the fall of 2011, tantalizes Facebook friends to see who will be the King and Queen of Commerce in Plum Junction, the game’s virtual town center.
Pro vs. GI Joe has been connecting US troops around the globe with their favorite professional athletes and celebrities through live video game competitions since 2007. Utilizing the power of the internet, the troops are also connected to their loved ones via live video conferencing, adding an element of surprise and joy for the hardworking servicemen and women.
“Pro vs. GI Joe gives us an amazing opportunity to harness to ubiquity of social gaming and drive goodwill and awareness to the well deserving men and women in uniform,” said Dan Ramirez, Chief Marketing Officer for Real Plums. “We are proud to assist Pro vs. GI Joe in further supporting their cause and virtually serving along side our armed services around the globe.”
Proceeds from in-game Pro vs. GI Joe events will directly benefit the troops.
