Allied Pixel, an integrated media production company headquartered in Media, Pa., recently hired Rebecca Tversky as their new Director of Client Services. Allied Pixel represents the merger of two well-known Philadelphia-area media production firms, RSVP of Broomall, Pa., and Haley Productions of Media, Pa., and specializes in the convergence of video production, Web development and interactive multimedia production.

With more than a decade of organizational support and strategic brand development experience, Rebecca brings valuable project management skills and a strong sales background to the Allied Pixel team. Rebecca plays a key role in day-to-day activities at Allied Pixel including serving as a client advocate, managing client expectations and schedules and ensuring that each client project is finalized on time and within budget.

As a self-deemed practical idealist, Rebecca enjoys trying to make the world better one choice at a time. She originally studied to be an international diplomat, earning a BS in French, but decided a more fast-paced profession was for her. In her spare time, she is a hospice volunteer, foster youth mentor and a marathon running mentor. Rebecca also enjoys cooking in her Wilmington, DE residence and being surrounded by family and friends.

Britain’s normally gray capital was unusually sunny this week. So were the attitudes of Web developers gathered here for a conference while, across the pond, Wall Street was in full panic mode.

A bright-eyed pack of several hundred aspiring Web visionaries descended upon London’s Excel conference center for the semi-annual Future of Web Apps (FOWA) conference. Eager developers trawled the show floor’s booths for stickers that they promptly stamped onto their laptops. One pack of young men strolled around in straw sombreros. Another trio passed some time in between lectures by tossing around a Frisbee with the Yahoo Developers Network logo on it.

There was only off-hand talk about the global economic crisis that was also unfolding, in part, just a few train stops away in London’s financial district. But people walking these halls all share a fervent belief in the power of their own ideas: Innovation cannot and will not stop, financial crisis be damned.

None of the big companies on the FOWA show floor seemed to be looking to actually hire new developer talent. A representative at Microsoft’s booth, speaking to me over the din of the Guitar Hero stations that the company had set up, said he doubted anyone was hiring and estimated that the market for developer talent in London had probably dropped by five or six percent. A representative at AOL’s booth wasn’t sure if the company was hiring or not, but said they were really only there to drum up interest in properties like Goowy and Truveo among the developer community.
