You remember when Pudgy Penguins licensed those 20 penguins?
I've been digging into what holders actually made from that deal. Can't find solid numbers anywhere
Asking for a friend..
Anyone here part of that and willing to share what the revenue split looked like? https://t.co/6u9Lmn3bkH
When we started @IglooAPAC, we had one goal. Capture every @pudgypenguins moment in a way that does it justice.
That’s why @ricnishraj was one of our first hires. What he built with @littleunusualMY said everything. Every aftermovie he made was something we were genuinely proud of.
And no video comes alive without the right people in it. @Symphony_Young and @AloeOnChain brought so much heart to every frame.
But I want to take a moment for the people who worked behind the scenes.
@Suenwins, now at YGG, one of the most dedicated people I have ever worked with. A true wonder woman.
@magicross7, a genuine pillar of the Asian penguin community. The energy he brings is unmatched.
@divinefallacy, brand new to the team but gave more than anyone could have asked for.
@thisistheshawn, the most underrated one of all. The guy who showed up, did the hard work on the ground, and never once asked for the credit. The muscles behind every event.
Most of them have moved on now. And honestly, that makes me proud. 🤍
