LAS VEGAS, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- meemo LLC, the Virtual Goods marketing, licensing and distribution company, has formalized a worldwide Virtual Goods license for Hasbro to take the TRANSFORMERS brand into additional channels of digital distribution.

"With the TRANSFORMERS brand poised for another blockbuster summer, we're thrilled to kick off this program and deliver TRANSFORMERS-branded virtual goods with the experts at meemo."

Steve Sterling and Jed Corenthal comment, "Generations of people, young and old have entered into the fun and engaging universe of virtual worlds and virtual reality. It is becoming the fastest growing medium for engaging consumers directly, in an interactive and very personal way. We have a fully integrated, "turn key" approach for entertainment & celebrity brands to be part of this exciting new entertainment frontier and we are very excited to be serving Hasbro's objectives for a 'new world' digital strategy as one of the leaders in family entertainment."
