Feeding The Cash Cows: Activision's Approach To Game Brands
With an origin in the world of creative advertising, the current CEO of Activision Publishing Eric Hirshberg has a unique perspective on the gaming industry. While talking to Hirshberg about the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts, we also spoke with him about his roots in advertising and what lessons he is applying to the world of games. While Call of Duty became a juggernaut before his entry into the industry, Hirshberg was critical to the launch and subsequent wild success of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure in 2011.
Watch the video interview below to learn more about Activision's approach to cultivating successes like Skylanders and how that affects the future of Call of Duty and Destiny.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
