Gaming to mix Influencers and Branding

From Zero - the high-tech virtual studio - is launching a powerful new gaming division called F-ZERO, dedicated to building fully customized games for studios and influencers. Every title is crafted from the ground up to be fun, engaging, and seamlessly infused with brand identity and integrated advertising. F-ZERO transforms gameplay into a bold new channel for storytelling, audience engagement, and revenue.

“Video games have always been a big passion of mine, and I’m always looking for new ways to innovate. Gaming is the natural next step, especially as it continues to surge in popularity among the 13–30 demographic, which is key for branding. Building our own games from scratch gives us the freedom and control to make that vision real" comments Kevin Chaja, CEO of From Zero LLC.
"What makes it even more meaningful is that our team is made up of current and former CSUN students—students I’ve had the privilege to teach—who are now leading the development of these games.”
