Three offices owned by Zynga are being closed and will see their respective teams relocated, as focus shifts to ‘creating franchises and driving profitability,’ the company announced in a blog post today.
Both the McKinney, Texas and downtown Austin offices are to be closed and the teams will move on to the company’s Dallas and North Austin studios. Additionally, their Baltimore studio and their New York City offices are being closed, with the NYC staff joining another NYC mobile studio.
“Whenever we make changes like this, we have to make some tough decisions around products, teams and people. We were able to relocate everyone in the Baltimore office who requested a transfer, and the overall impact of the consolidations on our team is minimal,” said Zynga.
“These changes will further enable us to focus our resources on our most strategic opportunities. We’re already working to execute on leveraging franchises to build the largest game network and be profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis. We still have a lot of work to do, but I’m confident that we’re on the right path to deliver on the potential of Zynga.”
