Competitive gaming channel Ginx TV has appointed former Fnatic executive Darren Newnham as its new director of business development.
Darren worked at Fnatic as head of business development between March and December 2016, helping to develop the organisation’s commercial activities.
In the past he’s worked at the likes of Disney and Sega, as well as toy company Winning Moves.
Darren officially joined Ginx in January, according to his LinkedIn page.
Last year, Sky and ITV invested £3m into Ginx TV, which broadcasts global esports tournaments as well as a range of different gaming shows, such as The Bridge.
Ginx Esports TV is broadcasting on Sky channel 470.
Dom is an award-winning writer and finalist of the Esports Journalist of the Year 2023 award. He graduated from Bournemouth University with a 2:1 degree in Multi-Media Journalism in 2007.
As a long-time gamer having first picked up the NES controller in the late ’80s, he has written for a range of publications including GamesTM, Nintendo Official Magazine, industry publication MCV and others. He worked as head of content for the British Esports Federation up until February 2021, when he stepped back to work full-time on Esports News UK and offer esports consultancy and freelance services. Note: Dom still produces the British Esports newsletter on a freelance basis, so our coverage of British Esports is always kept simple – usually just covering the occasional press release – because of this conflict of interest.
