MIAMI, Dec. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EXLEY Media Inc. ("EXLEY Media"), a subsidiary of QUINT Media Inc. ("QUINT") (OTCQB:QUNI), today announced EXLEY's expansion to Canada, with Toronto the first city to be unlocked. Now, Torontonians can whip out their smartphones and easily share digital scoops from Hollywood North.
Anything in Toronto is fair game for EXLEY social columnists – news and sightings of box office darlings, legendary athletes, music moguls and even the outrageous Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford! Users can also submit digital content from major events – like the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Canadian Music Week, North by Northeast (NXNE), Toronto Fashion Week, the Toronto Caribbean Carnival (Caribana) and Pride Week among many more – or scoop from the clubs, streets or their very own backyards.
"We've received a lot of requests from Canada, so we've unlocked EXLEY in this country of 35-million consumers, with Toronto the obvious destination for our launch. It's a major global film center, with more than 1,300 movie, TV and commercial projects filmed each year plus over 60 film festivals, including the high-profile TIFF. Toronto is also known around the world for its sports teams, music scene, food, finance, technology, multiculturalism and now for its Mayor, too!" said Tino Dietrich, CEO of EXLEY Media. "There is a constant flow of celebrities in Toronto and its citizens are diverse yet connected, both to each other and the digital world around them. I expect Toronto's uniquely Canadian content, commentary and controversy will add a real 'je ne sais quoi' to our growing digital media network."
Over 18% of Canada's population lives in the Greater Toronto Area according to the 2011 Census. Approximately 77% of Canada's 35.1-million residents are wireless subscribers as of Q3 2013, according to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association.
"Torontonians are proud of their bragging rights as North America's fourth largest city and one of the world's most livable," added Tino Dietrich. "We are overwhelmed with the magnificent acceptance of our service at this early stage and plan to continue unlocking more cities and countries in the near future, including Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and Halifax. Our growth strategy is driven largely by the people, which we believe reflects their interest in EXLEY as a new way to create, share and consume media."
