CNET hires video bods for move into new £3m HQ

CNET has appointed a four-person video team to work in its new studio.
 
The company is ramping up its online video offering with the opening of a high-definition online video studio facility as part of a £3 million office move to London's South Bank.
 
The video team will be led by former Reuters and World TV programmer Ben Howard, who will oversee content across all the publisher's websites with a brief to grow video output across all UK brands.

The other appointments include Drew Stearne, who has been hired as video producer, responsible for filming, editing and directing video content, and John Reeves joins as multimedia system administrator to design and build equipment to improve the online viewing.

Tom Bureau, managing director of CNET Networks UK, said in a press release: "CNET Networks UK has a wealth of experience in broadband TV and we’re building on this by investing in a dedicated in-house team and studio facility.

"Our audiences are hungry for more relevant and better quality video and that’s what we intend to deliver."
