The Overwhelming Choices

In today's world, we are bombarded with endless entertainment options. It can be hard to know where to start or what to choose. The sheer number of entertainment options available can be overwhelming and lead to decision fatigue.

Navigating the Digital Landscape

In the overwhelming digital media landscape, with numerous streaming platforms and vast content libraries, users struggle to discover enjoyable content. They find it difficult to navigate the options and often mistrust recommendations from streaming services.

The Search for Satisfaction

When all we want is to quickly and easily find something enjoyable to entertain or inform us, we are faced with:

• Over 200 streaming services
• 114 million YouTube Channels
• 3 million podcasts
• 7,200 content titles on Netflix

Some people find that they are constantly scrolling through their phone or watching TV, but they never seem to be satisfied. They are always looking for something new, but they never find it.

The Struggle Quantified

According to a 2021 study by Horowitz Research:

• 50% of TV content viewers think there are too many streaming services
• 49% believe that “it’s hard to know what shows are on which streaming services”
• 44% say they “often have a hard time finding something to watch”
• 39% of people still “have a difficult time trying to decide what to watch next"

The Desperate Search

People are so desperate to find help navigating the complexity of the digital entertainment landscape that the #1 global search term on Google in 2021 was "What to Watch".

In today's digital entertainment landscape, users face significant challenges in finding personalized and reliable content recommendations. The existing alternatives, whether they involve AI recommendations, friends' suggestions, social media, or generic online searches, all come with distinct limitations:

• Misaligned AI Recommendations: Often impersonal and misaligned with individual tastes. Recent statistics reveal that 88% of consumers struggle to find desired content, and 79% distrust AI-generated suggestions on streaming platforms.
• Forgotten Recommendations from Friends: While personal, these can be disorganized and easily forgotten, limiting their usefulness.
• Haphazard Social Media Recommendations: These are often noisy, unreliable, and fail to cater to individual preferences. They also tend to get lost in the chaos of social media.
• Generic Online Searches: A one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t align with personalized tastes and often falls short in satisfying unique preferences.

These pain points highlight a significant opportunity for innovation in the entertainment recommendation space. That's where CliqRex comes in. As an innovative platform, it combines the personal touch of friends' recommendations with the intelligence of AI, offering a unique solution that addresses these challenges head-on.

CliqRex offers a centralized hub where users can easily discover, save, share, and consume a wide range of entertainment content, all within a single, user-friendly app. This convenience and integration set CliqRex apart from other market players, making it the go-to platform for users seeking a seamless and efficient entertainment experience across various media formats.

Coupled with the influence of friends within the app who share your tastes, the system not only introduces users to new, personalized content but also deepens social bonds by facilitating meaningful conversations around those recommendations.

CliqRex is planning to explore various avenues to monetize the data it collects while ensuring user privacy and data security. These strategies may include:

• Targeted Advertising
  By analyzing user preferences, behaviors, and consumption patterns, CliqRex is planning to offer targeted advertising opportunities to brands and advertisers. Advertisements can be tailored to specific user segments, maximizing relevance and engagement while generating ad revenue.
• Sponsored Recommendations
  CliqRex is planning to partner with content creators, streaming platforms, and publishers to feature sponsored recommendations within the app. These recommendations can be clearly identified as sponsored content, providing an additional revenue stream while offering users curated suggestions.
• Premium Subscription
  CliqRex is planning to introduce a premium subscription tier that provides users with enhanced features, exclusive content, ad-free experience, or early access to new features. The subscription model may generate recurring revenue and offer users an enhanced and personalized entertainment experience.
• Data Insights and Analytics
  CliqRex is planning to aggregate and anonymize user data to derive valuable insights and trends in the entertainment industry. These insights can be offered as market research reports or data analytics services to media companies, content creators, and industry stakeholders.
• Partnerships and Affiliates
  CliqRex can establish partnerships and affiliate programs with streaming platforms, e-commerce platforms, and content providers. Through these partnerships, CliqRex can earn referral fees or commissions when users make purchases or subscribe to services through the app.

CliqRex's market opportunity is substantial, with related sectors experiencing rapid growth: streaming services, recommendation engines, social media, and long-term potential in the online dating market. These industries show strong expansion rates and high market valuations.

Given its features, the CliqRex app could potentially disrupt several industries:

• Recommendation Engines: CliqRex’s advanced AI technology combined with personal recommendations and user behavior analytics presents an innovative approach in the field of recommendation systems, which could influence the way platforms like Amazon, YouTube, and Spotify make recommendations.
• Content Discovery Platforms: Specific to entertainment, platforms designed to help users discover new content, like Goodreads for books or IMDB for movies and shows, could also be impacted by CliqRex's comprehensive and personalized approach.Streaming Services: By integrating recommendations from various media sources, including TV shows, movies, podcasts, and YouTube videos, CliqRex could pose a challenge to established streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Spotify.
• Social Media: With its emphasis on social connections and its feature allowing users to share their favorite content, CliqRex could impact social media platforms where people commonly share and discuss entertainment content.
• Online Dating: The patent-pending Affinity Engine could revolutionize the online dating landscape by connecting users based on shared entertainment preferences. This unique approach could pose a challenge to traditional dating apps, which often rely on user-provided profile information or, in some cases, complex matchmaking algorithms. By focusing on shared content preferences, CliqRex could provide a more organic, interest-based connection platform.

The global digital entertainment market, a robust and expanding field valued at $223.9 billion in 2021, is projected to reach $288.9 billion by 2028 (Grand View Research, Digital Entertainment Market Report, 2028). Within this competitive landscape, CliqRex emerges with a differentiated approach.

Unlike competitors who rely solely on impersonal algorithms and crowdsourcing for content recommendations, CliqRex adopts a hybrid strategy. By combining AI with friends' recommendations, it offers a more personalized, engaging, and expansive entertainment experience. This distinction sets it apart from platforms like Likewise and Queue which lack this human touch.

CliqRex's adaptability across various product categories enhances its competitive edge. The patent-pending Affinity Engine and proprietary CliqMeter© allow users to connect based on shared interests, aligning with modern social trends. The introduction of CliqRex CARES©, a proprietary model of Social Well-Being, adds an additional layer of user engagement that helps users thrive within the platform.

However, the evolving nature of AI technology and the competitive pressure from major tech giants may present challenges that we plan to embrace with ongoing innovation and agility.

Excitingly, CliqRex's predictive matching power could be leveraged within the lucrative online dating industry, unlocking new revenue streams and growth avenues.

In summary, CliqRex's unique approach, proprietary technology, and potential for cross-industry application position it as an innovative contender in the digital entertainment market, ready to capture opportunities and navigate the complexities of this growing field.

CliqRex is a comprehensive digital entertainment platform that aims to revolutionize the digital entertainment landscape. The company's unique combination of AI and friends' recommendations, as well as its integrative entertainment platform, can allow users to find, save, enjoy, and share a diverse range of entertainment content effortlessly.

We plan to launch the app into the marketplace in September 2023. The target audience for the launch campaign is tech-savvy, mobile-first power streamers aged 25-44. The initial call to action is to encourage users to download the app and start their personalized entertainment journey. We plan to then focus on creating virality within the app, incentivizing early adopters to share content from the app with friends to increase both adoption rates and the utility of the app for users.

The campaign focuses on engaging content that resonates with this audience, with a tone that is entertaining and informational to reinforce the focus on digital entertainment and the social, innovative nature of CliqRex. The campaign may run on paid media on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, podcasts, and YouTube, with support from CliqRex’ owned media.

James O’Loughlin

CEO

A word from CliqRex Founder and CEO, James O'Loughlin

James has always been intrigued by technology and has been at the forefront of utilizing it since a young age. He started programming on Apple ][e in the late 1970s and wrote a grade-keeping program for his high school teachers at age 14. He joined the Army in 1989 and repaired missile guidance systems. He then set up and ran multi-line bulletin board systems in the early 1990s. Also during this time, while attending Miami University, he set up the university’s computer networking system for faculty and students. In the early 2000s, he worked as a developer and created a CMS (content management system) for hundreds of clients. He was promoted to Vice President and helped grow the business into a full-service digital agency. After 20 years there, he started up Pixaura as co-founder and CEO, and has grown the business to 20 employees in 3 years. For the last 5+ years, he has been honing his craft by teaching UI/UX at the University of Cincinnati and The Art Academy of Cincinnati. James was also an early adopter of cryptocurrencies and started mining Bitcoins in 2011. He thought Bitcoin was the most exciting technology he had encountered until he and his wife, Dara, created CliqRex.

Outside of technology, James was the president of Team Hungry Cycling, Cincinnati's largest cycling team, for ten years. He has completed multiple 100-mile mountain bike races, triathlons, and what is deemed the most difficult gravel bike race in the country, a 200-mile race across Kansas. The challenge of completing an ultra-endurance race requires training, technology (bike), tools, nutrition, and, most importantly, the perseverance to finish in the face of what sometimes feels like an insurmountable obstacle. James has the drive to see projects, goals, and dreams to completion.

Dara is committed to the crafting of meaningful and transformative experiences for others. She has put her heart into developing curricula and teaching coursework in art, technology, and yoga that empowers and enhances lives; and she has worked together with her husband, James, on creative problem-solving adventures in the pursuit of enhancing the life of their profoundly brain-injured son.

Dara was trained as both an artist and educator at Miami University, where she met James and received her BFA and BS in Art Education. Dara and James have successfully worked together professionally in several places. First, it was at a small elementary school in College Corner, OH where she taught art and James was the “tech guy.” Then, they worked together at a marketing firm in Cincinnati, OH. There, she piloted an exciting new Technologist in Residence program that brought much appreciated one-on-one technology education to teachers in Cincinnati Public Schools while James was programming and designing. The program expanded with Dara leading other TIRs to share technology that enhanced teachers’ and students’ lives.

It was during her position as a Technologist In Residence that her career had to shift, as she gave birth to a child who would provide James and Dara the most challenging problem-solving opportunities of their lives. Their son, Emmett, suffered a detrimental lack of oxygen at birth, and now at age 18 is still unable to walk, sit, speak, or even use his hands - though his smile lights up every living soul. Identifying his needs and enhancing his life experiences have required enormous creative problem solving and teamwork. There is something magical about James and Dara working together, whether it’s starting a business, raising their three incredible children, or converting a shuttle bus to a medically supportive recreational vehicle for their family to be able to travel with their son, transformational ideas translate into action, done in a meaningful and beautiful way.
