Madrid, June 24th, 2010 –. Zed Group, the multinational company based in Spain, devoted to digital entertainment and comprising the companies Zed, Ilion, and Pyro Studios, has won the Meffy Award in the Cross Platform Content category, competing with other finalists like The Walt Disney Company, CBS, Hungama and Fun Little Movies. Zed Group has won the cross platform Meffy thanks to the 360º digital entertainment offer around Planet 51 in recognition of digital content convergence. The Meffy Awards are conceded by the Mobile Entertainment Forum (MEF) and represent a wide international point of reference in acknowledging success and innovation in the mobile entertainment and media industries.

Miguel López-Quesada, Zed Group General Manager, Corporate Communications and Institutional Affairs declared:”We are very proud to have been acknowledged at global level competing with long established companies in the field of entertainment. This award reinforces once again our growth and expansion chart over the last decade.”
