Scopley revealed this past week that they have hired former Facebook Gaming executive Ben Webley to be their Chief Marketing Officer. Prior to joining the company, Webley had overseen the global marketing for the games division at Facebook, as well as been in senior leadership roles at Zynga and Electronic Arts, According to the company, Webley will "lead and further build on the work of Scopely's advertising, growth, marketing, customer service, creative and user acquisition departments. He will focus on ensuring a strong relationship with every player who enjoys a Scopely game." No finer details were released about the deal, so we have no idea how long he's been signed to work for under a contract. But it does add a little more experience and muscle to their brand on the operations side of things. Here's a couple of quotes from the announcement.
