“Jelly Jamm has already attracted some of the best partners in the business committed to transforming Jelly Jamm into a powerful brand, making great entertainment into great business,” says Steven J. Posner, managing partner at Vodka. “Cannes has been a great forum for the project and I have no doubt that 2011 will prove just as fruitful in continuing to bring other strong broadcast and licensing partners onboard”.
