NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 6, 2016 / INTELLIGENT CONTENT ENTERPRISES INC. (OTCQB "ICEIF") ("ICE" or the "Corporation") and its proposed license and acquisition partner Catch Star Studios, LLC ("Catch Star Studios") are pleased to announce that their interactive online and mobile video marketing application, Clix.Video™ (www.clix.video and http://catchstarstudios.com/welcome-to-clix-video/) has launched its commercialization program, securing over $50,000 USD in initial deals for 2 campaigns. In addition, as previously announced, Clix.Video™ is showcasing its application on September's digital segments of Stars and PinStripes with actor Dan Lauria, promoting his new FOX television series, Pitch, via the YES Network (www.yesnetwork.com) at http://www.yesnetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160930&content_id=204226678.
These two campaigns mark the initial commercialization for this revolutionary new technology application, and provide ICE with a platform to demonstrate its effectiveness for numerous other potential customers.
Among its many technical and marketing features, Clix.Video™ allows users to "view experiences within the video" and then click on the custom icons that move with the item(s) as the video plays, to learn more about the item, share it with others or buy it – instantly, and where applicable, in almost any language, creating an interactive local, national or global information, social or revenue event. Clix.Video™ provides a richer, deeper consumer experience related to video content.
According to ComScore, the average user spends over 16 minutes watching online video ads every month. Nielsen reports that 147 Million Americans watch video content on the Internet. Additionally, Forrester researcher estimates that one minute of video is equal to 1.8 million words.
Clix.Video™ allows brands, creators and distributors of online video the ability to empower clicks to view, sharing and shopping abilities directly into their media to increase user engagement, conversions and revenue activities. Clix.Video™ can be localized for potentially any major global market both by offer and in the user's native language.
Clix.Video™ enables viewers to instantly connect to web and mobile sites by clicking on custom interactive tags within digital videos 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.
Catch Star Studios has added proprietary marketing and technology layers to its Clix.Video™ platform, allowing multi-lingual closed captioning, "Easter Egg" hunts, unique overlay technologies and analytics integration capabilities, creating customized video viewing experiences for the individual user based on localization, offers and viewer language, ultimately leading to potential one to one experiences between the advertiser and the user.
"We, at ICE, are very excited to rollout and commercialize Clix.Video™. The digital media/ video industry is growing at an exponential rate, with advertising growth expected to reach about $15B by 2019. We believe we are positioned at the right place, and most importantly at the perfect time to take advantage of the industry growth to meet our corporate objectives and timelines," said Mr. Ritwik Uban, President of ICE.
The Huffington Post reported in a January 2016 article that in April of 2015, it was unveiled that over 4 billion videos were being played back each day on the Facebook platform alone. By September 2015, this number had doubled to a staggering 8 billion video views per day. Cisco now predicts that 80% of all Internet traffic will be streaming video content by 2019, up from 64% in 2014.
The previously announced agreement for ICE to license to acquire all the technology, production and client operations owned and operated by Catch Star Studios is in its final stage and expected, but not guaranteed, to close shortly.
