Gaming vet departs Kiip after a year

Manny Anekal has been named the chief revenue officer for MediaSpike, a startup focused on mobile in-game advertising.

Anekal is one of the most seasoned veterans in the still-nascent world of inserting brands into video games, whether on consoles, the Web, on social networks or on mobile devices. Most recently, Anekal was COO of Kiip, one of a handful of startups looking to bring a rewards-based ad model to mobile games.

Previously, Anekal helped usher Zynga into the in-game ad business during its brief heyday.
