What We Do
SmartMedia Is an Innovation Incubator
It's time for a new way of thinking. At Smart Media, our mindset is one of creative curiosity. And after a pioneering effort in 2017-18 as a digital media studio for healthy consumer products, our corporate journey unlocked a view of an important new horizon: creating amazing learning games designed to inspire focus, and social and emotional learning through creative playing, mindfulness, and problem-solving.
After a pioneering effort in 2017-18 as a digital media studio for healthy consumer products, SmartMedia became the incubation studio for LeapXL, a unique no-code enterprise application and data orchestration technology serving financial services and data industries.
SmartMedia also realizes the power of media to transform the health and well-being of people. We are creating amazing learning games designed to inspire focus, and social and emotional learning through creative playing, mindfulness, and problem-solving.
We spun this venture into a new brand called PlayEQ Games.
PlayEQ Games is a for-profit Arkansas innovation company currently doing business as SmartMedia, LLC. Since early 2019, the principals, Marla Johnson and Ken Hubbell, have been developing educational learning media infused with social emotional intelligence and a mindful focus. Currently we are developing game packages as a centerpiece strategy. This effort grew out of start-up ideation sessions about the viability of creating storytelling creativity boxes in Fayetteville sponsored by Start-Up Junkie and Google’s Techstars. PlayEQ Games is currently in the Design phase of a new SEL game for pre-K children and their families for the Whole Health Institute-sponsored Well-Being for Everyone initiative.
