Viggle expands its reach to millions of monthly viewers, allowing users to earn points when watching videos at HitFix

Viggle Inc. (NASDAQ:VGGL) (“Viggle”), the entertainment marketing and rewards platform today announced a strategic partnership with HitFix that will extend Viggle users’ ability to earn points while engaging with content at HitFix. With the impending launch of the Viggle Points API, users will be able to earn Viggle Points beyond current properties which include the Viggle App, Wetpaint, NextGuide and Vigglestore.com.

Starting in early 2015, HitFix, which offers breaking news, engaging reviews and in-depth coverage of film, television, music and comedy to millennials, will feature Viggle badges on all their video content that allow viewers to easily and quickly earn Viggle Points. For new Viggle users, there will be a sign-up widget that pops up so they are able to register immediately. From there, viewers can watch videos to earn Viggle Points and ultimately redeem those points for real rewards from Viggle, including TV shows, movies, music and more.

“Viggle is about rewarding entertainment wherever it may be consumed – watching TV, listening to music, and engaging with online video. The Viggle Points API helps achieve this vision by enabling any web or mobile app publisher to reward activities with Viggle Points,” says Greg Consiglio, president and COO of Viggle. “The partnership with HitFix exemplifies how entertainment publishers can drive engagement and repeat visits leveraging Viggle’s patented entertainment rewards platform.”

“We are excited to integrate Viggle Points into our video experience. We’ve seen explosive growth in our original video consumption, and this platform will provide additional incentive for our audience to discover even more of the quality content they’ve come to expect from HitFix,” says HitFix CEO Jen Sargent.

This partnership with HitFix marks the first step of Viggle’s expansion using its API technology across a variety of entertainment media platforms. Currently integrated on Wetpaint, Viggle’s entertainment and celebrity news site, Vigglers can earn points for watching Wetpaint original videos. HitFix, which reaches more than 270 million viewers each month through its digital and away-from-home platforms, gives Viggle the ability to reach an entirely new entertainment audience and drive them back to Viggle’s rewards program.

Visitors to HitFix will begin to see the point earning opportunities across the site in early 2015.
