Studios are focusing on the rollout of their streaming platforms, and consumers know that shortened theatrical windows are bringing films to their homes sooner. Gruvi is a marketing tech platform dedicated to helping exhibitors engage film audiences online, pushing them towards cinema ticket sales.
Video On Demand has seen phenomenal growth over the past two years, but as consumers are increasingly overwhelmed with choices how can you ensure your customer base continues to grow? Gruvi is a marketing tech platform dedicated to generating VOD transactions from digital film audiences.
