Pushbutton team expands again
Release date: September 10, 2005
Pushbutton has strengthened its development team by appointing Jason Newman as Senior Interactive Developer, to head gambling and gaming projects at the fast-growing interactive design and build specialist.
Jason was formerly Broadcast Architect at Littlewoods Gaming, where he was responsible for the successful launch of Littlewoods Gaming interactive services on ITV, and numerous subsequent gaming applications on ITV linked to big name shows like I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and The X Factor.
Pushbutton Managing Director, Paula Byrne, said “Jason brings with him real delivery experience and deep technical know-how, in the crucial growth area for interactive television, gambling and gaming. He is well known and well respected in the development community – and indeed is very well known to the Pushbutton team, who are former colleagues, having worked with him before at Sky.”
James Cumberbatch, head of development at Pushbutton and co-owner of the company, added “Jason is simply the best SDK developer out there. If you want a bespoke interactive television application, with deep functionality and stepping way beyond the scope of templates, then Jason is your man. We are delighted to welcome him into the Pushbutton team.”
Pushbutton has developed a number of ‘plug and play’ gaming and gambling applications that are currently being demonstrated to interested parties.
