Neonga attracts another ex-Frogster executive

Stefan Hinz has become the latest ex-Frogster employee to join the ranks of free-to-play specialist Neonga.

Neonga was formed last month by Rolf Kloppel, former director of marketing for Frogster Online Gaming and Benjamin Kaiser, previously director of research and development at the company.

At Frogster, Hinz was the online marketing director, and joins Neonga as chief marketing executive. The move fuels speculation that many of the executives who left Frogster during the company's acquisition by Gameforge are heading to Neonga to start afresh.

"Stefan was our absolutely first choice to strengthen the company's management," said Neonga CEO Rolf Klöppel. "We have already shown in the past that we can form a powerful and successful team. I expect no less at Neonga AG."

"Neonga offers the creative breeding ground for the development of new strategies for marketing and customer relations, with deep-going know-how about online games, customers and global markets," added Hinz. "Strong tools for building customer loyalty, fair and attractive partnerships and innovative games will make Neonga AG stand out in the international online games market. A new star is born."
