SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4, 2017 /CNW/ -- Frankly
Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TLK) (Frankly), a leader in
transforming local TV broadcast and media companies by enabling
them to publish and monetize their digital content across multiple
platforms, has formed a strategic partnership with Vuukle, a media
technology platform provider with a proprietary Audience Engagement
System. Vuukle joins the growing list of Frankly partners,
including Vendasta, Centro and most recently, IRIS.TV.
Vuukle provides multiple widgets for rapidly increasing end user
engagement. The company's technology will enable Frankly customers
to retain audience referred from social media and to regain control
of their engagement and first-party data. With its proprietary
content recommendation technology, Vuukle has been proven to
consistently increase average user session time by more than 24%
across its customer base, making it a vital strategic tool for all
kinds of digital publishers on the Frankly platform. Through this
partnership, Frankly will be able to deploy Vuukle's suite of
solutions on its own proprietary platform for both desktop and
mobile sites to increase customer pageviews and grow advertising
revenue.
"Forming strategic channel partnerships with companies like
Vuukle has been one of Frankly's focal points as a strategic growth
catalyst, which is why we're very excited about the possibilities
this relationship creates," said company CEO Steve Chung. "Both Frankly and our valued
customers will now be provided additional monetization
opportunities through enhanced audience engagement, which is the
backbone for any successful media company. We remain
dedicated to helping our news and media customers build their
digital revenue streams by offering compelling content and new and
innovative ways."
Ravi Mittal, founder and CEO of
Vuukle, added: "Vuukle and Frankly share a strong technology focus
and synergies in digital publishing. We look forward to joining
forces and spurring growth for our publisher clients."
