SPEAKERS
Jason George, Chairman, Telescope
Jason began his career in digital media with the formation of Victoria Real in 1994, overseeing groundbreaking interactive TV programs for UK broadcasters and interactive TV advertising for clients such as British Telecom, Allied Domecq and Pepsi. As Creative Director and then Chief Executive, he played a key role in Victoria Real's growth to become the foremost digital production company in the UK and its subsequent acquisition by the Endemol Group. He was responsible for award-winning interactive UK broadcast productions including Big Brother UK, Fame Academy, and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, as well as interactive advertising campaigns for blue chip brands such as Norwich Union, Ladbrokes and The National Lottery. He served on the Endemol Group Creative Board until he left the company in December 2004.
In January 2005, Jason took over as Controller of Interactive Programming at UK cable network Flextech Television, working across its portfolio of channels with a remit to explore digital distribution and content creation, and deliver ancillary revenue streams through interactive platforms. During his tenure at Flextech, he commissioned the network's first foray into Participation TV, Quiz Night Live, launched two made-for-mobile TV channels and an online pay-per-view download service, as well as spearheading the company's push into gaming and user generated content.
In February 2006, Jason moved to Los Angeles and joined Telescope as Creative Director to exploit the growing opportunities for mobile marketing and participation TV content in the US market. In September 2007 he was promoted to Executive Chairman of the company.
Jason is considered one the most experienced and innovative digital practitioners in the industry. In the UK, he chaired the Royal Television Society's Future Media committee, and was awarded the New Media Age Honorary Award for Outstanding Individual Contribution to Digital Media in 2001.
