About JACT

Founders Jimmy Yang, David Tuttle and Timothy Midgley created Jact Media with the belief that a mutually beneficial relationship between advertisers and video gamers can exist.

While working with large advertising clients in the Shanghai, China commercial film industry, Jimmy frequented internet cafes and absorbed the energy, engagement, and passion of video gamers firsthand. Gamers wanted to make the most of their play time, while staying on top of the latest products and services. Advertisers wanted to reach this growing audience, but were struggling to do so in an effective and efficient manner. The concept of JACT was born.

David and Timothy were spending their days in New York as Fortune 500 IT professionals, and nights as avid video gamers. The trio worked to validate their concept, and a successful prototoype of the client software was finished. The dots were now connected and the concept became a business.

The company is now working to monetize the business while expanding their innovative business model internationally.
