			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Albie Hecht | Worldwide Biggies &#8211; DIgital Power profile</span></strong><br />
By ANDREW WALLENSTEIN</p>
<p>The digital world is really just a means to an end for CEO Albie Hecht, whose company uses everything from Flash games to virtual worlds as an incubator for intellectual property that can live on in the more lucrative worlds he knows well: TV and movies. “We’re not creating one-off products; this is true transmedia,” says the former Viacom exec. He’s made a real business out of what some dismiss as a buzzword, starting back in 2006 with indie-film-turned-webisode-turned-TV series “The Naked Bros.” Now he’s working on video/gaming combos including “Dr. What,” a joint venture with Syfy announced in February, and “Bigby,” which launched in January as an iPhone app. It should come as no surprise that these are aimed at the kid market, given that Hecht was instrumental in the launch of Nickelodeon icons including “SpongeBob SquarePants.”<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bigby was a character design for the USB drive collaboration with Mimoco which sold out at Comic-Con San Diego in 2006. The success spawned Worldwide Biggies first animation webisode series and casual game.  Bigby is an 8 year old crime fighting genius who knows what we all know- it’s cool to dress like a bear, fly with a jet pack, and eat chicken Parmigiana.  Together, with his Nana, he battles the evil pirate and dragons who are responsible for 96 % of all bad things that happen.</p>
<p>The Bigby iPhone game is a classic platformer/side-scroller with a twist.  Bigby can fly with the rocket on his back!</p>
<p>The goal is to eliminate all the pirates and dragons that have descended on New York City!  To capture pirates, Bigby needs to jump on top of them while avoiding all manner of pirate weaponry.</p>
<p>The player controls Bigby by tilting the iPhone left and right.  Dragons are tougher &#8211; Bigby must use his rocket to fly above them and drop in on them from above.</p>
<p>20 levels of increasing challenge face Bigby as he fights to keep the streets of New York safe&#8230;from pirates and dragons!</p>

By KIM THAI </p>
<p>NEW YORK (Fortune) &#8212; At first glance, Albie Hecht&#8217;s office is cluttered with toys &#8212; a plush gorilla from the Mario Bros. video game, vinyl figurines from the toy line Kidrobot, to name a few. But in fact, they&#8217;re all relics of the animation industry, where Hecht, 56, made his name launching such mega-hit children&#8217;s shows such as Nickelodeon&#8217;s &#8220;SpongeBob SquarePants,&#8221; &#8220;Dora the Explorer,&#8221; and &#8220;Blue&#8217;s Clues.&#8221; <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/18/technology/bigby_iphone.fortune/index.htm">(&#8230;)</a></p>
