About the Company

Zynga

Mobile social games developer with freemium

Zynga creates social mobile and web games such as FarmVille, Words With Friends, and CSR Racing. It focuses on casual gamers who want easy-to-access games that can be played in short sessions. The games use a freemium model: they are free to download and play, with in-game purchases that enhance gameplay and integrated advertising. Social features let players interact with friends and other players, which helps drive engagement and retention. Zynga differentiates itself by emphasizing social interactions inside games, a large library of popular casual titles, and revenue from both in-game purchases and ads, along with strategic partnerships (e.g., Amazon Prime) and involvement in education and social initiatives. The company’s goal is to grow a broad, engaged mobile gaming community while monetizing through freemium purchases and advertising, and to broaden its influence through partnerships and social impact initiatives.
