Paramount mobile boss leaving company

Paramount's senior vice president of interactive and mobile, Sandi Isaacs, is leaving the studio.

She will apparently be pursuing other opportunities, although her leaving date hasn't been announced yet, according to mocoNews.

Isaacs was a key figure in Paramount's games licensing activities, including mobile. The news comes just days after rival studio Universal lost its mobile SVP Jeremy Laws.

Perhaps they could swap jobs.

More seriously, 2009 may see mobile publishers taking a close look at their licensing strategies, particularly around movies and TV shows.

Although branded mobile games are still a big part of the industry particularly when it comes to on-deck promotion at operators there have been some high-profile flops in 2008, where sales didn't match expectations (or, indeed, licensing fees).
