Jeff Hilbert is the Founder, Chief Business Development Officer at Final Strike Games. Jeff’s career began over twenty years ago with the launch of Spectre VR, one of the first networked games to be released commercially. He went on to secure over 100 licensed games for inclusion in “value packs,” initiating a career focused on video game deals.
He cemented his status as one of the first specialized agents focused on video games when Virgin Interactive, MGM, and Viacom, contacted him in quick succession to assist their strategic efforts to adopt a licensing model and reposition themselves in the market.
In 2005, Jeff partnered with DDM president Joe Minton to form DDM as the premier video game representation agency. DDM works with the top studios in the world including Ninja Theory (DmC Devil May Cry), Sproing (Skyrama), Yager (Spec Ops: The Line), Zombie Studios (Blacklight: Retribution), and many others.
Jeff built DDM to become the top agency in the console market and was instrumental in moving the agency into the mobile and free-to-play markets years before most Western companies understood their transformative impact on the industry. Because of Jeff’s foresight and initiative, DDM is now the premier agency across mobile, web, console, and PC platforms.
As the Founder and Managing Partner of DDM, Jeff is focused on opening new markets, providing strategic direction to developers, publishers, and investors, and managing select clients.
Jeff, with his partner and Co-CEO, Joe Minton, have grown DDM into the top Game Agency in the world with offices in California; Massachusetts; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Manchester, United Kingdom; Osaka, Japan and Hong Kong, PRC. Companies have come to rely on Jeff’s advice as they enter new markets and explore new platforms.
