MCV/DEVELOP has announced The Story Mob as sponsors of the Indie Studio of the Year award at the MCV/DEVELOP Awards 2026.
The MCV/DEVELOP Awards have been around for over 20 years, and aim to recognise the successes of the UK games industry in every area that it excels, from innovations in game creation to accomplishments in recruitment, PR, retail and the media. They’re a key industry event in the games calendar, and bring together its exceptionally talented people for a night of celebration and enjoyment.
Anna Rozwandowicz, CEO and Founder of The Story Mob, said: “The Story Mob exists to help brands and publishers engage in meaningful conversations with gamers but we can only do that because we’re authentic. We know how to reach the community, because we are the community. It gives us great pleasure to sponsor the Indie Developer Category because we appreciate the blood, sweat and tears that are poured into the development of a game and the endless amounts of joy it gives people like us.”
If you or your brand would like to sponsor the MCV/DEVELOP Awards show itself, please reach out to Alex Boucher or Vanessa Joyce.
