Conn. firm acquired by eLearning Brothers

American Fork learning solutions company eLearning Brothers has acquired The Game Agency, a game-based education platform based in Stamford, Connecticut. The Utah company said that the transaction solidifies its position as a one-stop-shop for online learning by adding the “power of play, proven to improve retention and enhance company culture.”

“The massive increase in the remote workforce demands learning solutions that engage employees and build teams differently than ever before,” said Andrew Scivally, CEO at eLearning Brothers. “The Game Agency’s award-winning track record allows us to rapidly empower companies with the best tools for professional development and employee productivity.”

Working in collaboration since 2017, eLearning Brothers and The Game Agency have jointly served clients including Chick-fil-A, IHS Towers and PayPal. The Game Agency’s other 250 clients include Bayer, Colgate Palmolive, Comcast, Facebook, Kellogg, Kimberly Clark, Nestle, Salesforce, Siemens, Wells Fargo and Whole Foods. The Game Agency is the creator of the Training Arcade, a do-it-yourself game-authoring tool that features 10 game mechanics, including the “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune” games for training and education.

“Combining forces with eLearning Brothers brings several benefits to our existing clients,” said Stephen Baer, co-founder of The Game Agency. “Adding the power of games to eLearning Brothers’ industry-leading learning solutions offers corporate training and development professionals more fun and effective learning experiences, resulting in significantly more engaged, motivated, productive and profitable employees.”
