Film, cinema and streaming authority, Flicks, has just announced that it has reached a significant milestone of 1.1 million local unique users visiting its Australian website.

Since its launch in 2015, flicks.com.au, along with the company’s inaugural New Zealand website (flicks.co.nz) and the newer United Kingdom website (flicks.co.uk), has been helping make the decision about what to watch – and where to watch it – easier.

Flicks (a Vista Group company) provides cinema listings, streaming guides, reviews and premium editorial content that’s straight-talking and engaging.

“With a plethora of movies and streaming content available, choosing what to watch, and where to watch it, can be an arduous task. We’re glad that our mission to make that process simpler is making an impact on our audiences and we’re elated to reach this milestone number, with more than 1 million people based in Australia choosing to visit flicks.com.au” says Paul Scantlebury, CEO of Flicks.

Flicks’ announcement comes after the company’s recent team expansion, with Phillip Merillo joining Flicks as Head of Sales & Partnerships for Australia.

This new role is an integral addition to Flicks’ commercial team as they continue to build on their momentum with Australian audiences and, in turn, expand on their work with advertising partners.

“Our environment and audience are undoubtedly unique, so it’s exciting to have someone with local knowledge on the ground to champion Flicks,” says Dan Michelle, Flicks’ Sales & Partnerships Director.

“We’re looking to broaden our advertising partners, and, with our current growth, now was the right time to expand the team. Phil’s focus will be on agencies and establishing new relationships with the various stakeholders around Australia.”

Flicks’ news follows the recent launch of their app in March, which brings together their unique combination of listings, guides and editorial opinion into a premium, one-stop shop mobile experience.
