- Poynt local search will be available to Kik's 150M users
TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Sprylogics International
Corp. ("Sprylogics") (TSXV: SPY), a technology provider of
local mobile search and messaging solutions for consumers and
businesses announces that its Poynt local search app is now
available to Kik users, allowing them to easily find and share
local content.
Kik is the smartphone messenger that lets you talk to anyone no
matter where you meet, and has more than 150 million users
globally. Kik has a built-in browser as well as a growing library
of HTML 5-based experiences that can be discovered and shared
seamlessly within Kik.
With the addition of local search from Poynt, Kik users will be
able to search, discover, view, discuss and share movies,
restaurants, videos, and local events, all without leaving the
app.
"We are very pleased to be working with Kik as we continue to
increase the footprint and global reach of our Poynt application,"
says Marvin Igelman, CEO of
Sprylogics. "Kik is one of the top mobile chat applications by size
of user base, and its significant North American presence provides
a great opportunity for us to effectively monetize the chat
experience by way of relevant, targeted mobile advertisements. We
believe this arrangement with Kik could significantly increase
Poynt's user base in North
America, where the highly developed mobile advertising
infrastructure presents the greatest revenue potential for
Poynt."
