Hammer and Skype partnership

On Monday 16th October, Skype released Hammer branded emoticons and stickers, enabling users to choose from a variety of Hammer’s spooky, familiar faces including Dracula and the Mummy, to spice up their messaging.

Simon Oakes, CEO of Hammer said, “This is an exciting partnership for Hammer, taking us into a different medium and introducing the Hammer brand to a new generation of horror fans. We love how our classic characters and iconography translates to this platform, and look forward to more collaborations with Skype in the future.”
