says, "SPTI has established itself as a leader in the international television
distribution, production and networks business over the past 10 years. The appointment
of Jason Wells to head up our newly formed mobile entertainment group is indicative
of our belief that the mobile business is poised for substantial growth in the
coming years. He brings a wealth of experience in this sector and I look forward
to working with him here in London." In
his new position, Wells, will lead an international group within SPTI dedicated
to extending Sony Pictures Entertainment's (SPE) theatrical and TV assets, as
well as its range of custom-made mobile content, into mobile distribution outside
the US. With products such as the Spider-Man II film, the Ratchet and Clank
Going Mobile game adaptation from the popular Sony PlayStation franchise, and
the Da Vinci Code mobile content, SPTI will be the international distribution
and marketing arm for SPE's portfolio of mobile content including mobile games,
tones, images, video and text programs. As
mobile TV adoption grows, SPTI's mobile entertainment group will work alongside
SPTI's licensing, international networks and production business lines to roll
out programming and new initiatives for mobile operators that draw upon the strengths
of all of these businesses.
Wells
brings with him years of experience in business development, management consulting
and business launch strategy. Most recently he was VP of business development
for Handango, where he directed the content and distribution business units. |
