A 20+ year media veteran, Jason has spent a lifetime in and around content from after school jobs at Toys R Us and Video Ezy to marketing and acquisitions roles at Magna Pacific and Beyond Home Entertainment and more recently as Vice President of ANZ Acquisitions for Universal Pictures.  It’s this expansive and extensive experience of analysing trends and behaviours in the media world that underpins Jason’s approach to content.  His understanding and ongoing curiosity for why we choose to watch what we watch, how we watch it and why some things work and others don’t provides an often unique insight into projects and ventures.  Jason has been analysing, acquiring and commissioning content and developing business and content strategies for 18+ years, initially in feature films, expanding to factual and children’s content for home entertainment and international distribution and then into label development programs for anime, sports, live comedy and scripted television categories.
