Peeks Social $PEEK.ca Launches Web Platform, User Deposits Reach All-Time High in June 2018 $BCOV $AVID

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:22 AM on Monday, July 9th, 2018

Peeks dark logo

  • Announced that the Peeks Social product is now available on the web at www.peeks.social
  • Both viewers and broadcasters can access www.peeks.social to watch streams and broadcast unique content on a mobile friendly website.

TORONTO, July 09, 2018 – Peeks Social Ltd. (TSX-V:PEEK) (OTCQB:PKSLF) (“Peeks Social” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Peeks Social product is now available on the web at www.peeks.social.  Both viewers and broadcasters can access www.peeks.social to watch streams and broadcast unique content on a mobile friendly website.

The launch of www.peeks.social is a key element of ongoing initiatives to increase user activity levels and revenues for the Company. Management anticipates that the mobile-friendly web version will amplify the capabilities of the platform in many ways, including by improving the conversion rate of new users into active and paying users, and by accessing new audiences of users who prefer consuming livestreaming video on their desktops. For example, desktop viewers who are following Peeks Social influencers through to Peeks Social from other social platforms will encounter fewer steps in the registration process resulting in higher conversion rates and ultimately a lower cost per installation for the Company. Users who are forwarded to the Peeks Social App from their desktops were previously required to download and install the App in order to interact and consume content. The Peeks Social platform can now be enjoyed in its full functionality from a desktop or on a mobile web browser.

The fully functional website is expected to increase the percentage of overall deposits made through the www.peeks.social website, resulting in higher margins for the Company. The majority of deposits currently received by the Peeks Social App are processed through in-app payments, which are subject to a 30% payment processing fee from their respective app stores. Deposits made through the website incur a fraction of these costs.

June Monthly Deposit Key Performance Indicator (“KPI”) increases 9.5%

The Company is pleased to announce that the Peeks Social App reached an all-time high of $513,830 CAD in monthly user deposits for June 2018 representing a 6% monthly increase over May 2018 (9.5% when results are normalized for a 30-day month).  User sessions were 2,035,000 for June 2018 (representing a 3% increase over May 2018 when results are normalized for a 30-day month).

The Peeks Social App can be downloaded in either the Apple or Google app stores, or by visiting www.peeks.social

What do the latest trends in video mean for marketers? #DigitalAdvertising #Adtech $GOOD.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:17 AM on Friday, July 6th, 2018

By Rebecca Sentance @ Econsultancy

  • If one trend in content publishing and social media has been constant over the past few years, it’s the huge and growing popularity of online video.

Long-form video, short-form video, live video, square video, video advertising… Whatever the format, video has built up a tremendous amount of buzz in the marketing industry for its ability to engage and entertain, with brands increasingly making it a core part of their marketing strategies.

With this in mind, it’s no surprise that venture capitalist and internet expert Mary Meeker devoted several portions of her landmark Internet Trends Report this year to the trends and developments in online video.

What does Meeker’s report have to say about the state of online video in 2018, and what new opportunities does video in 2018 present for marketers? (N.B. Econsultancy runs a Video Marketing Strategy training course and subscribers can download our Online Video Best Practice Guide)

Video is mobile

There was a time not too long ago when the idea of watching online videos on a mobile device was laughable. Mobile internet speeds were too slow, videos ate up too much data, and screen sizes weren’t optimised for video viewing.

Now, however, with faster connection speeds, better support for video from mobile apps and websites, and smartphone screens that are built for multimedia, mobile video consumption has taken off.

Meeker’s report shows that video consumption on mobile has been on the rise since 2012, but really started to shoot upwards in 2015, with the global number of minutes viewed per day rising from around 14 minutes in 2015 to an estimated 35 minutes in 2018.

And nowhere is mobile video consumption growing faster than in the world’s largest internet market, China – more on that later on.

Livestreaming is emerging

Over the past few years, livestreaming has emerged as one of the most popular types of online video.

Previously the sole preserve of hobbyists and event organisers, the last three years in particular have seen live video come into its own as a widespread entertainment medium and social tool, with the launch of services like Periscope and Facebook Live, and the rise of broadcasting platforms like Twitch.

Meeker’s report illustrates the latter with a graph showing that average daily streaming hours on Twitch have increased more than fivefold between 2012 and 2017, from around three million daily views in 2012 to approximately 16 million in 2017.

China: Short-form mobile video in the driver’s seat

Since 2016, mobile internet in China has experienced a phenomenal surge in usage.

Meeker’s report cites data from the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which reports that mobile data consumption in China has leapt from nine exabytes in 2016 to 25 exabytes in 2017 (an increase of 177%).

An increasing amount of that data usage is being devoted to mobile video. Data from QuestMobile shows that between 2016 and 2018, the portion of time that Chinese consumers spent interacting with mobile video on a daily basis (as a percentage of all mobile media) increased from 13% to 22%.

A breakdown of that video consumption into different formats – long-form, short-form and livestreaming – reveals that short-form video is largely responsible for the increase, with short-form video consumption rising steeply between 2017 and 2018.

Long-form video has also seen a general increase in popularity, rising from a little over 200 million daily mobile media hours in 2016 to around 375 million in 2018.

Meeker observes that China’s leading short-form video apps, Douyin (known as Tik-Tok outside of China) and Kuaishou, are both seeing phenomenal success, with huge and growing userbases and a high level of engagement.

Both enjoy somewhere in the region of 100 million daily active users, with an average of 52 minutes spent using the app every day.

Meanwhile, in a sign of things to come, spending on Chinese TV networks has been gradually declining since 2014 in favour of spending on online video platforms.

The content budgets for video platforms such as iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video – which often produce their own, original, long-form video content – officially eclipsed those of Chinese television networks in 2017.

What do these trends mean for marketers?

Meeker’s report clearly indicates that the domination of online video content isn’t going away any time soon, with new content forms coming to the fore, and new markets emerging where video is wildly popular.

Here’s how marketers can take advantage.

Invest in mobile video content and advertising

The best way to be present in front of an audience consuming increasing amounts of video on mobile is to – you guessed it – produce mobile video.

If you’ve been considering devoting some of your content marketing budget to video content, or making a bigger push towards producing mobile-optimised video, here are some reasons why it could benefit your brand.

  • According to statistics released by Invodo, mobile shoppers are three times as likely to view a video as desktop shoppers
  • These videos get results, too – shoppers who view video are 1.81 times more likely to purchase than non-viewers, and retailers report a 40% uplift in purchases as a result of video
  • People are much more likely to view instructional videos on their smartphone. So if you’re a brand that sells DIY supplies, homeware or hardware, you can cater to this audience by producing how-to videos – as Home Depot has done to great success, racking up more 1 million monthly views on their YouTube channel (source: Tubular Labs).

Even if you don’t have the resources to devote to producing your own video content, mobile video advertising can be an equally effective way to get in front of a mobile audience.

Econsultancy’s Trend Briefing report, Putting Video in Context for 2018, found that mobile video ad revenues are set to rise from $3.5 billion in 2015 to $13.5 billion in 2020, and mobile video ad spend is set to overtake fixed (desktop) ad spend in 2018.

A 2016 whitepaper by Videology, The Mobile Impact: Driving Brand Metrics through Mobile Video Advertising, found that one CPG advertiser achieved a 125% lift in message awareness by using a mobile-focused approach for its video campaign.

Another brand, a major provider of streaming video content, reportedly achieved a 121% lift in brand awareness by targeting mobile users based on their TV viewing habits – and the mobile video campaign was twice as effective as the same campaign run on desktop.

There are more opportunities to target users with mobile video advertising than ever before, with social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat all offering video ad placements. Programmatic advertising exchanges have also expanded their offerings to include mobile video ads, to cater to the demand for this format.

Produce or sponsor live video

Similarly, companies such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have responded to the newfound demand for live video by implementing ways for users to monetise their livestreams.

As with mobile video, brands and marketers can decide whether they want to directly produce live video content for their brand, or simply monetise other creators’ live videos with advertising or sponsorships.

If you’re thinking of producing your own live video, have a read of some of our case studies below to learn how other brands have found success – or check out our seven helpful tips for livestreaming.

If you’d rather put advertising budget towards monetising someone else’s video, there are a couple of options for doing so. Brands can sponsor event livestreams – such as live concerts, or gaming competitions – on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and even Tumblr.

Influencer livestreaming is also on the rise, as influencer marketing – which is in high demand amongst brands as a means of engaging social audiences – moves towards the newly popular medium of live video. Brands like Mashable, Make-A-Wish and Kohl’s have partnered with social influencers and vloggers to create compelling livestream campaigns.

As for live video advertising, Facebook has recently introduced an “in-stream” live video ad format that will only play once at least five minutes of a livestream have elapsed – not unlike an advert break on television. YouTube also offers pre-roll, mid-roll and display and overlay ads for monetising livestreams.

Consider China

Thanks to the dramatic rise of online video in China, video marketing is becoming an extremely effective way for brands to target a Chinese audience.

As we saw from Meeker’s report, China’s online video landscape is made up of a completely different set of platforms. Instead of YouTube and Facebook (both of which are blocked in China), brands need to look to platforms such as Youku, iQiyi and Tencent Video (for long-form video) and Kuaishou, Douyin, Miaopai and Meipai (for short-form video) to reach Chinese users.

Marketing to China isn’t something that will make sense for every brand, but those who do want to tap into China’s massive and growing market, video has proved an excellent medium.

In 2016, for example, L’Oreal ran a giveaway on short video platform Meipai in which it encouraged users to upload and share their Halloween makeup videos for the chance to receive a free gift. More than 11,000 users uploaded videos, which netted more than 60 million views in total for the brand.

  • In a nutshell, competitors play video games, while being watched by a live audience.
  • Millions more watch the games online
World Economic Forum | 2 days ago

This sport will soon be a 1 billion dollar business with a global audience of over 300 million fans. But it doesn’t involve a ball, stadiums or grass pitches.

Welcome to the world of eSports.

E-WHAT?

eSports (short for Electronic Sports) is the name given to professional competitive gaming. In a nutshell, competitors play video games, while being watched by a live audience. Millions more watch the games online.

One major tournament, the 2016 League of Legends World Championship finals, attracted 43 million viewers.

League of Legends is a hugely popular fast-paced action strategy game. Gamers battle to be crowned the best in the world, competing to earn $1 million in prize money.

In fact, winning eSports tournaments can net participants up to $25 million when winnings, sponsorship and appearance fees are taken into account.

The highest earning player, German Kuro Takhasomi, has earned almost $3.5 million to date.

GROWING FANBASE

Fans watch on YouTube’s gaming channel or on Twitch, a dedicated gaming channel on the web. eSports viewers spent 17.9 million hours watching their gaming heroes on those channels in the first quarter of 2018. The most popular game to watch is Dota 2, followed by League of Legends and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

The global eSports audience will reach 380 million this year, made up of 165 million dedicated eSports fans and 215 million occasional viewers.

 

 

In 2018, the eSports industry is projected to generate $905 million in revenue, reaching over $1 billion over the next two years.

China and North America will generate over half of that sum.

Fans buying tickets and merchandise will contribute $96 million.

IS IT SPORT?

 

Just like traditional sport, eSports has its fair share of professionals, commentators and celebrities.

Prize money is certainly comparable to more traditional sports. The National Basketball Association prize pool is $13 million, the Golf Masters is $11 million and the Confederations Cup is $20 million. eSports exceeds each of them with a total prize pool of $24.7 million.

In fact, Fifa has its own eWorld Cup, where the 32 best Fifa18 Xbox and PlayStation players will compete for the title of Fifa eWorld Cup Champion.

eSports has become so popular, that even the International Olympic committee is trying to understand it better. The IOC and the Global Association of International Sports Federations are jointly hosting an eSports Forum at the Olympic Museum in France.

“The aim of the Forum is to explore synergies, build joint understanding and set a platform for future engagement between the eSports and gaming industries and the Olympic Movement,” they say.

The IOC isn’t the only organisation taking eSports seriously.

The US government has recognised full-time League of Legends players as professional athletes.

But detractors scoff at the idea of calling gaming a real sport. After all, gamers sit still in a chair for hours on end showing only agility and dexterity in their hands, they argue.

But those who play eSports would counter argue that it takes a great deal of skill and strategy to win games. They also point out that they practice for hours a day just like any other sports player, and that physical exertion isn’t the marker of sport. Darts players and snooker players don’t have to move much either.

It may be a moot point. An industry that is projected to make $1.4 billion by 2020 is unlikely to require the approval of naysayers.

How Digital #India is changing the #edtech sector $BTRU.ca $ARCL $CPLA $BPI $FC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:21 AM on Friday, July 6th, 2018

  • India is increasingly becoming digitally connected due to the efforts of the Centre under their scheme “Digital India”
  • Many online education aggregators have also come up and are participating in this revolution to change the way one thinks about learning

By Sandip Kar 

Over the years, with the advent of digital media and technology, pedagogical methods and teacher-student interactions across the globe have evolved. The education sector today is not just bound to the classroom or coaching sessions, but in fact, has successfully merged with the internet to become a better serving industry. Due to digitalization and the availability of video solutions, the process of teaching and learning has greatly changed.

Benefits of video solutions

Video solutions in education include video conferencing, video lessons, video explanations amongst several others. Their importance in education is unparalleled due to their ability to create a stimulating and interactive environment which engages students, making it more conducive to learn. Audiovisual aids such as webinars and special lectures are within easy reach of students and teachers, making learning fun and more comprehensive. Additionally, incorporation of such tools has enabled differently-abled students and students with learning disorders to take inclusive classes. In fact, many students are visual learners and benefit from the incorporation of such solutions in their study regime.

Another benefit of using video solutions in education is the age-old adage of “show don’t tell,” as video solutions allow students to grasp concepts no matter how complex for a longer time. Several independent video solution providers have popped up in the industry to help make school classes ‘smart’ by equipping school teachers with audiovisual lesson by lesson teaching aids.

Digital India

Moreover, as India is increasingly becoming digitally connected due to the efforts of the Centre under their scheme “Digital India”, many online education aggregators have also come up and are participating in this revolution to change the way one thinks about learning.

These online players focus on creating video content for students across the educational spectra. They use animation and other tools with the help of teachers, lecturers, and experts to create videos which are education yet entertaining. Not to mention, the presence of these aggregators is democratising the educational scenario of the nation as the content they provide is available to everyone and not limited to people who can afford to pay for them. Students can browse through multiple providers to learn, understand and even revise concepts.

Furthermore, online education aggregators provide room for more interaction between students as opposed to traditional classroom environments where learning is restricted to a strict time of 30 or 40 minutes. These websites also give the students the liberty to study at their own pace, and they can redo concepts they have doubts in. The aggregators also provide a wide variety of subject content from languages to science and from literature to maths: you name it and they will have it. This diversity of content is especially attractive to people in colleges as well as those who are learning a new language as opposed to the traditional content available to them via their institutions and universities.

Even for people who wish to re-skill themselves or revisit a topic that they had learned ages ago, learning through video content has made things easier from them as they are less time consuming and more effective.

In this day and age, digital tools are the key to making learning more effective and fun. Video solutions have made education easier and online education aggregators have made the availability of diverse content easy for all, proving to be a game changer in the education sector.

(“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV: N)(FRA: M5BQ)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce the Company has signed a consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cannbit Ltd. (“Cannbit” or “Cannbitltd.com”), whereby Cannbit will provide domestic consulting services to Namaste that will streamline the Company’s Israeli operations, expand its platform and increase domestic revenues. Namaste’s recent announcement of its 10% investment in Cannbit, with Cannbit’s intention to publicly list on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”), is further supported by this strategic partnership.

Namaste has identified strong growth potential in its Israeli market and will focus on the expansion of its current platform as well as introducing new technology like its telemedicine application, NamasteMD and Findify’s AI technology in Israel. Cannbit will provide Namaste with local resources to facilitate this growth. Cannbit will provide Namaste with domestic management and operations of the Company’s Israeli e-commerce platform, business development, website translations, domestic customer support services and wholesale sales.

Israel has quickly emerged as a global leader in cannabis research and development and Namaste is well positioned to leverage its technology and database of Israeli consumers to launch new initiatives in the Israeli market including the Company’s revolutionary telemedicine application and patient portal, NamasteMD. Through its investment with Cannbit, a medical cannabis supply agreement and now this strategic partnership, Namaste will benefit from expansion of its revenue streams, import of high-quality Israeli grown cannabis to the Canadian market (subject to approval by Israeli regulators and Health Canada), and also in leveraging its technology to provide simple and effective access to its online healthcare platform.

We’re looking forward to launching operations under the terms of this new agreement, exporting cannabis to the Canadian market when possible, and growing our Israeli division of the Company.”

Montreal, Quebec / July 5, 2018 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to announce that further to its press releases of January 7 and May 22, 2018 that its subsidiary, ZeU Crypto Networks Inc., closed an initial tranche of its 10% unsecured convertible debentures offering for an aggregate principal amounts of $5,063,692, of which $3,708,692 was subscribed in consideration of digital assets.

Each Convertible Debenture issued pursuant to this first tranche will have a maturity date of July 5, 2020 and be convertible into common shares of ZeU (each a “ZeU Share”) at a price of $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”).

There shall be no interest payable on the Principal Amount if ZeU effects a transaction pursuant to which it will become a “reporting issuer” under applicable Canadian Securities Laws and the ZeU Shares or the common shares of any resulting issuer would be listed and posted for trading on an recognized exchange, which may include, without limitation, an initial public offering, a reverse take-over or a merger with existing a reporting issuer (a “Liquidity Event”) on or before January 31, 2019 (the “Liquidity Event Deadline”). If there is not a Liquidity Event on or before the Liquidity Event Deadline then interest shall be deemed to accrue from and including July 5, 2018.

Related Party Transaction

Mr. Frank Dumas, an officer and director of St-Georges subscribed Convertible Debentures for an aggregate $250,000 principal amount. The participation of Mr. Dumas in the First Tranche constitutes a Related Party Transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The company relied on exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 for the related party transaction. The company did not file a material change report in respect of the transaction 21 days in advance of the closing of the private placement because insider participation had not been confirmed. The shorter period was necessary in order to permit the Company to close the private placement in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature.
