BKOM Studios: 2024 Retrospective
The year 2024 was a pivotal one for BKOM Studios, defined by remarkable milestones, profound emotions, and strategic transformations that underscore our unwavering commitment to excellence.
1. The Enduring Legacy of Fred Martin and Marie-Hélène Boivin
The year began with an emotional moment for BKOM Studios as Fred Martin and Marie-Hélène Boivin announced their departure after more than 28 years of passion and dedication as leaders and founding owners of BKOM. Their remarkable contributions continue to leave an indelible mark on the studio’s history, and they remain an inspiration to the team.
2. A New Era for BKOM
Following the departure of its founders, BKOM Studios entered a new era under the leadership of Serge Mongeau, appointed as CEO. With his ambitious vision and revitalized energy, he leads the studio forward, supported by Fred Tremblay, newly appointed as Chief Business Development Officer and Mickaël Robert, who continues to excel in his role as CFO. This trio of strategic leaders joins forces to tackle future challenges and seize opportunities that will shape the company’s future.
3. Tougher Times
The year 2024 was particularly challenging for the video game industry. Like many other players in the sector, we had to downsize our studio. This difficult but necessary decision allowed us to refocus our priorities and improve our financial situation.
By consolidating our strengths, we enhanced our ability to stay competitive while continuing to deliver quality projects and maintaining a strong and positive company culture.
4. New Offices, New Energy!
The move to our new office space was a pivotal moment of the year. More compact and modern, these new premises perfectly embody our collaborative culture and drive for innovation while providing our team with a stimulating and inspiring environment.
5. Reaffirming Our Industry Presence
The year 2024 was particularly dynamic in terms of business development. We participated in several major industry events, such as Gamescom, GDC, and MIGS, while exploring new opportunities through other events and trips. These investments proved fruitful, providing us the opportunity to showcase our expertise, strengthen relationships with strategic partners, and solidify our market presence, demonstrating our mastery and passion for the craft.
6. Company Culture
2024 was also the year we introduced OfficeVibe, a valuable tool to assess and improve team satisfaction and engagement. Additionally, our quarterly meetings strengthened communication and fostered a sense of belonging within the studio.
7. Launching Multiple Projects
Despite the challenges, 2024 was a year rich in accomplishments, highlighted by the launch of several new projects, including new attractions for Legoland theme parks. These achievements reflect the creativity, resilience, talent, and outstanding dedication of our team.
8. Ending the Year on a Positive Note
Finally, the year concluded on a decisively positive note. The arrival of several exciting new game projects paves the way for a promising 2025, heralding a bright future for BKOM Studios.
And Now, 2025!
2024 was a year of change and adaptation for BKOM Studios. Thanks to the commitment of our team and the strength of our vision, we are ready to embrace 2025 with enthusiasm and confidence. Together, we continue to build an exciting future for our team and partners.
