HOOQ Turns TWO!
HOOQ celebrates success
with new partners, new TVOD service and a slew of new Asian and Hollywood shows
IN JUST TWO
YEARS, HOOQ HAS BECOME THE NUMBER ONE VOD SERVICE
IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA
A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
Built in Asia for Asia, HOOQ’s formula has
been to be a subscription video-on-demand service, which continuously innovates
and delivers the best quality entertainment. Whether it is HOOQ’s world first download
capability for Hollywood, its weekly pricing or its ad-free freemium model,
HOOQ has continue to evolve its business model for Asia. This has proven successful, with the platform
securing millions of subscribers across Asia.
This success comes from HOOQ’s strategy of combining the best Asian and
Hollywood content with a solid distribution partner network of the top telcos
and broadband providers in the region including AIS, Airtel, Globe Telecom,
Telkom, and Telkomsel, just to name a few.
“In the Philippines, we made sure to put
together the best Filipino content for our subscribers with a combination of
the top local studios and independent filmmakers. This combined with HOOQ’s
strategy of serving premium Hollywood content, as well as our key distribution
partnership with Globe has contributed to making HOOQ the regional leader,”
says Ms. Jane Cruz-Walker, HOOQ Philippines Country Manager.
HOOQ –
the largest Video on Demand service in South-East Asia—has had a productive and
successful two years since its inception, delivering the best of both Asian and
Hollywood entertainment to homes across Asia. HOOQ has subscribers in the millions, all of
whom can enjoy over 30,000 hours of quality entertainment, and this will be
increased with new partnerships from Paramount Pictures, BBC Worldwide and
Endamol Shine. Further to this, HOOQ
today announced a new service that delivers movies fresh from the cinema to
your home – Transactional VOD (TVOD).
This allows blockbuster movies to hit the service within three months of
their theatrical release. To top it all
off, customers subscribing to the current Subscription VOD (SVOD) service will
be able to enjoy one movie from the TVOD library each month as part of their
SVOD subscription at no additional cost!
“Securing new partners such as Paramount
pictures, BBC and Endemol Shine are a testament to the fact that HOOQ has the
right formula to deliver quality entertainment to Asian homes, with a balance
of the best Asian films and dramas alongside solid Hollywood blockbusters and
series. We have never been more elated and will continue to push boundaries to
evolve and stay committed to delivering the best entertainment to our customers
with new services such as TVOD that bring movies to your homes quicker than
ever before – even as part of your SVOD subscription,” said Chief Executive
Officer of HOOQ, Mr Peter Bithos.

HOOQ’s new TVOD service not only gives access
to movies from the cinemas to your home, HOOQ subscribers will get access to
