StoryToys

We were thrilled to attend Nexus 2024! It was an honour to have two of our own as guest speakers at such an inspiring and informative event. Our CEO, Emmet O'Neill, joined other industry leaders to discuss the current state of the global games industry, sharing insights on its rapid growth and future trends. Meanwhile, Justin O'Connor, Head of Finance, contributed to a key panel on the thriving Irish gaming scene, highlighting its exciting potential. Some key takeaways from Nexus 2024: ➡️ The Digital Games Tax Credit is a great step forward for the industry, but there’s room for improvement to ensure it fully benefits all developers.   ➡️ Raising Ireland’s gaming profile on the international stage is essential to fostering growth and recognition.   ➡️ There’s a pressing need for continued support for the Irish games sector, especially for our indie developers who are critical to the creative fabric of the industry. At StoryToys, we’re proud to be part of the ongoing conversation about the future of gaming in Ireland and beyond. Let’s continue to innovate and grow together! 💡  #Nexus2024 #GamingIndustry #IrishGaming #StoryToys #Innovation #IndieGames #DigitalGamesTaxCredit

It was fantastic to be at #BLE24 in London last week! We had the pleasure of connecting with partners, licensors, and even some adorable giant plushy characters, many of whom hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️ The event was filled with insightful discussions on the state of the industry and the future of play, with leading voices sharing their expertise. Overall, the energy around the kids’ entertainment sector was incredibly positive, and we're excited about the future opportunities and developments ahead. 💫 #BrandLicensing #KidsEntertainment #BLE #IndustryLeaders #Innovation #FutureOfPlay Christina Colbeck Adrien Chenu

A couple of weeks ago StoryToys passed a significant milestone - We had the 200 millionth download of one of our apps. And while I like to focus on our future successes, I think it's a milestone worth acknowledging. Putting 200 million StoryToys apps in the hands of children is something I'm very proud of. That's 200 million kids using educational interactive content specifically designed for them, as opposed to otherwise potentially engaging with passive content or age inappropriate games. I want to thank everybody who has ever worked with StoryToys to help achieve this goal. This is the cumulative success of the whole StoryToys team (past and present), Team17 Group, our phenomenal licensing partners, the platforms that have supported us along the way, and critically everyone who has ever downloaded or encouraged someone else to download one of our titles. I believe we are just at the start of this journey, with WAY bigger numbers in our future. But for now, I just want to take a breath and acknowledge my gratitude for this achievement. Thanks everyone!
