Five Strengthens Digital Media Team

Five has strengthened its newly-formed digital media team with two new appointments.

Chris Kerwin joins in the new role of digital controller, with responsibility for the commercial side of Five’s digital businesses including video-on-demand and online. Scott Jeffrey becomes VOD editor and will be responsible for Five’s new VOD service.

Five said that the “appointments reflect the investment in and development of Five’s digital media strategy which is being spearheaded by Five’s Head of Digital Media, Jonathan Lewis”.

Lewis said: “The team is responsible for driving the development of five.tv and multiple online propositions. I’m delighted that these two crucial posts have attracted the experience and expertise of Chris and Scott.”

Before joining Five, Kerwin published T3 magazine and T3.com, while Jeffrey joins from the Australian digital advertising distribution company, Adstream. He also worked for new media company CNET Networks and Sky Racing.

Five has also restructured its content team hiring three senior producers who will oversee the new site builds in the coming months.
