Internet TV service provider, iFlix, the world’s leading entertainment service for emerging markets says the key focus of their multi-tier strategic partnership with Globe Telecom is on content and distribution.
Currently available to over 1 billion consumers throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, iFlix has established itself as the clear market leader in video streaming. Offering consumers a vast library of top Hollywood, regional, and local TV shows and movies, including many first run exclusives and award-winning programs, and now news, each subscription allows users to access the services on up to five devices, including phones, laptops, tablets, and television sets, for viewing wherever, whenever.
iFlix co-founder and CEO Mark Britt notes that the “historic agreement brings iFlix and Globe together as industry leaders of content and technology committed to creating exceptional user experiences.”
“The partnership with Globe further represents best practices in how iFlix drives strategic value for our partners across their core telecom business, as well as new verticals such as content, for the benefit of their customers,” Britt added.
The partnership will focus on three main business areas, with potential expansion in the future.
First, the distribution of iFlix through Globe’s network now allows over 65 million Globe users to activate iFlix VIP plans through carrier billing. Second, iFlix and Globe Studios, Globe’s content business, will co-develop new original content, set to premiere on iFlix in 2019, with special preview access exclusively for Globe customers.
This multi-level collaboration supports both companies’ goals of bringing original and creative local programs to Filipino audiences through a distribution channel that consumers trust. Lastly, iFlix will become the streaming platform for many of Globe Studios most popular shows. This includes Elements: The Series, exclusively available and set to premiere on iflix this year.
