Perk.com Inc. Announces Re-Launch of Viggle App

AUSTIN, Texas--()--Perk.com Inc. (TSX:PER) (“Perk” or the “Company”), a leading cloud-based mobile rewards platform provider, today announced the release of version 3.0 for the Viggle App, a mobile and tablet application that uses incentives to make content consumption and discovery more rewarding for media companies, brands and consumers.

With Viggle App 3.0, Viggle users will now earn Perk Points and receive greater value toward rewards. Viggle App 3.0 users will have access to Perk’s Reward Platform, which includes users being able to convert their Perk Points into real money with Perk Plastik, a prepaid debit card that runs via the Discover Network. The Company completed the acquisition of the Viggle App and its related assets on February 8, 2016.

Ted Hastings, Chief Executive Officer of Perk, stated: “We continuously strive to improve the apps we offer to our users and in less than ten days, we have successfully re-platformed the Viggle App so users can begin earning Perk Points and receive higher value toward their rewards. When we acquired the Viggle App and assets, we also acquired a direct sales team to build our relationships with well-known brands across the Perk ecosystem. The brands that we partner with can now reach their targeted users not only when they are using the Viggle App to watch TV, but when they are using the broader Perk platform of apps to watch popular videos, shop, search the web, or play games. In addition, brands can now sponsor engagements with users across our 3rd party platform in Appsaholic, SuperRewards, and Corona Labs. We are thrilled at how quickly we have been able to integrate the Viggle App into our operations and to be able to pass on to our Viggle users the many benefits of Perk’s Points and Perk’s Reward Platform.”
