Clark Stacey is the co-founder[1] and former chief executive officer of WildWorks[2][3][4] (earlier known as Smart Bomb Interactive),[5] which in 2010 launched the National Geographic Animal Jam, a massively multiplayer online virtual world, in partnership with the National Geographic Society.
[6][7][8] The game has around 75 million registered players,[9][10] and is one of the fastest-growing online children's properties worldwide, targeted at the 9–11 years age group.
[13] In 1992, in consequence of his long-standing interest in the field, Stacey teamed up with Kris Johnson again and co-founded Smart Bomb Interactive, which specialized as a game development studio and earned revenues through a licensing model.
[3] Based out of Salt Lake City and employing around 130 video game developers as of 2016,[12] Stacey and Johnson went on to develop highly followed games like Animal Jam Classic, Snoopy Flying Ace, Tunnel Town, Fer.al, and others.
Following Stacey's leave from WildWorks in July 2024 he became the CEO of ANIMACCORD DTC in charge of a Masha and the Bear interactive universe dubbed MASHAVERSE.
