Playcreate Media specialises in the development of high-quality digital applications for children with a particular emphasis on story-telling, education and creativity.
We plan, design, develop and deliver co-edition and bespoke apps for publishers and brands globally.
Why do book publishers need apps? Apps are an excellent marketing tool that enable publishers to maintain the profile and sales of key books, brands and characters in the run up to, during, and after publication or launch dates. Apps also provide an additional revenue stream from intellectual property that has already been created and paid for.
Is it expensive to create apps? It doesn’t have to be! Playcreate Media uses app frameworks, that we have developed, in order that our clients can pick an app type (Interactive, Story-telling or Play and Learn) and business model to suit a fixed-price budget. Prices start from as little as $1,500, so there is no reason why any small publisher or even self-publisher, can’t invest in a high-quality app to market their physical books.
Do Playcreate Media take care of everything? Yes! Playcreate Media manages all aspects of app development, from the initial concept right through to delivery.
Drawing on our parent company’s extensive experience of creating great children’s books, our apps are developed with input from a large design and editorial team. We plan, design, storyboard, animate, narrate, edit and code our client’s apps, and can upload it to any store of their choice. For app co-editions, we also offer a full translation service.
Playcreate Media offers a true turnkey solution for out-of-house app development, and we keep our clients involved in the creation process every step of the way.
Which platforms do you create apps for? Playcreate Media apps work on all major iOS and Android devices.
