Stacy Jolna, a founder of Clix and its chief marketing officer, previously headed marketing for TiVo during its disruptive run at the turn of the millennium, and was SVP and GM of News Corp./TV Guide’s Digital TV Group after an early stretch as a producer for CNN. More than 8 million users have registered with Clix, enabling it to send daily email blasts with more streaming enticements. By taking quizzes, offering reviews and ratings and taking other actions in the app, viewers can earn points redeemable for discounts from commercial partners. Instead, its efforts are going toward advertising and sponsorships.

Revenue sharing with subscription streamers - a profit center for tech giants - is not a strategic focus for Clix, which was founded as a company in 2017.
