2G Digital has been rapidly expanding its production capacity and sales team to support the media industry’s growing reliance on digital means of content distribution. “We see strong opportunities to grow both by expanding our client base and by reaching out to new markets,” said 2G Digital CEO Stephen Buchsbaum. “Cheryl and Julie will help us take advantage of those opportunities while preserving our reputation for personalized customer service. We are very happy to welcome them to the 2G team.”
