Jam Media close to British TV deal

JAM MEDIA, the Dublin-based animation company, is close to finalising a deal with an unnamed terrestrial broadcaster in Britain, described by the company as being “by far the biggest” deal in Jam’s history.

The company, which has a turnover of almost €1 million, was founded by John Rice, Alan Shannon and Mark Cumberton four years ago. It employs 16 people at its Dublin base and provides a range of animation and new media services to domestic and international clients.

The new deal could see it create 14 new jobs by mid-summer.
