LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE).1 The almost exclusively mobile behavior targeting consumer demand “what-to-watch” in a sea of streaming content is an industry first. According to Google Analytics, Clix users are migrating to mobile en masse to first discover their top entertainment choices before watching them on any screen and platform.
“Our consumers, especially Millennials and Gen Z, expect to get the information they need about what they want to watch instantly—anytime, anywhere in this ever-changing landscape,” said Ed Sullivan, Clix founder and CEO. “Our users know that Clix has partnered with top streamers to make it easier to find the best to watch.”
Clix’s 12 million registered users are growing by nearly 800,000 users per month in the US, according to Google Analytics. The company also has a strong global audience, with around half of its new user traffic coming from entertainment-focused young audiences such as users from India, the Middle East, Asia and Western Europe.
“Everyone’s walking around with a TV in their pocket and this burning question on their lips, ‘What do you want me to stream today?’ said Stacy Jolna, Founder and CMO of Clix and recognized industry disruptor, who was part of the original leadership team that created the disruptor TiVo. “Clix on your iPhone or Android device is the fastest way to see our discover-and-watch recommendations called ClixPix, whether you’re riding the subway, just getting bored in class, or in a group to catch up on the hottest chat new series and movies.
“These key behavioral observations point to a general shift in audiences demanding additional control over how they engage in entertainment consumption,” Jolna added. “Technology has taught us to expect instant gratification, and Clix delivers that with a ‘what to watch’ guide that saves the time and frustration of wading through a plethora of offerings on streamers and other platforms.” It’s about bringing clarity in a time of chaos and making viewing stress-free and fun for our consumers.”
“Our best video-centric streaming suggestions, ClixQuizzes on TV, movies and sports, and our growing shop feature for exactly what you want to buy combine to create a personal connection with our viewers,” adds Patricia Sullivan , Founder and Chief Creative Officer. “The demands and desires of our viewers are Clix’s guide to what we’ll be revealing next. We know they don’t want to have to wade through more guides and grids in search of their entertainment experience.”
Clix’s what-to-watch methodology combines artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as expert human editorial curation, script and cinematography excellence, great acting and direction, all of which contribute to our recommendations as well as the opinion of our Clix social community.
Ed Sullivan adds, “Make it right for the consumer and we will make it right for everyone involved in the ecosystem!”
