On July 26, 2016, ICE and its proposed license and acquisition partner, Catch Star Studios announced the commercial launch of its interactive video platform, Clix.Video™ (www.clix.video), which enables digital and mobile viewers to instantly connect to web and mobile sites by clicking on custom interactive tags within digital videos. Clix.Video™ allows viewers to make social media connections, view extra and exclusive content as well as make online and mobile purchases. All user interactions are made directly via the HTML5 video broadcast, providing a richer, deeper consumer experience related to the video content.
With US digital video advertising on pace to nearly double from its present expected 2016 value of $9.59 Billion to $14.77 Billion by 2019, according to an eMarketer report in February this year, enabling video to have a more robust and direct engagement between users and creators is a key area of focus for Clix.Video™. Recently Facebook announced Facebook Live, allowing users to engage with each other in live video, reinforcing the value of video engagement. Apps and programs like Facebook Live, Skype, Snapchat, and FaceTime by Apple all create potentially innovative opportunities for brands to engage with users in on-demand settings. Clix.Video™ is currently exploring, in addition to its recorded video applications, live overlay technologies to support these platforms. The ICE COE will also work with Clix.Video™ to explore interactive 360 video as it relates to user interaction and commercial opportunities.
Additionally, the ICE COE teams will focus on how content, language and marketing relate in localized geographic regions, allowing advertisers to provide uses with targeted, multi-lingual offerings based on individual and group demographics, particular to a user's language, not just where they are, creating a more robust value chain between brands and constituents.
