O~3 Entertainment Promotes Chris Jelinek to President
Jelinek reaffirms commitment to independent developers, reveals new
directions
SANTA CLARA, CA June 29, 2005 O~3 Entertainment, an interactive
entertainment publishing and distribution company, today announced that
Chris Jelinek has been promoted to president. Previously vice president of
sales and marketing, Chris takes the reins from Bill Gardner who has left
the company to pursue other interests. Under the new leadership, O~3 plans
to continue their strategy of forming strong relationships with independent
developers, and place a greater emphasis on key relationships in Japan and
other Asian countries and in Europe. The company has several titles planned
for release in late 2005. O~3 also has plans to expand into the mobile
entertainment space by leveraging exciting new technologies.
"We've had some tremendous successes over the past year in working with
several independent developers and we intend to continue with that
strategy," said Chris Jelinek. "Entering our second year, we also have some
exciting plans in the works concerning proprietary technologies in mobile
entertainment, and we'll be ready to divulge more details about that very
soon."
The company was founded with a commitment to seek out titles from small and
mid-size developers and providing complete publishing functions to get them
to market - including sales and distribution, marketing and public
relations, and more operational elements like replication, warehousing and
shipping. The executive team at O~3 Entertainment has extensive experience
in all areas of video game development, retailing, publishing and
distribution, and they use their knowledge, key relationships and contacts
to provide a new and distinct method for small and medium-sized developers
to publish and distribute fresh game content.
