I am excited to share that on February 3, TownNews will begin our next chapter as BLOX Digital when we officially launch our new brand! As you know, we've been teasing a reimagination of our brand identity in recent weeks. The new modern look and feel we will introduce sets the table for our continued growth while celebrating our rich, extraordinary history, and is a testament to the success of our flagship software-as-a-service ("SaaS") solution, BLOX CMS.
Our company has grown significantly in the last 35 years—evolving from a startup in the back room of a Montana newspaper to becoming one of the media industry's leading SaaS solution providers powering 2,000 news sites and boasting 6.8 billion annual pageviews, 2 million paying subscribers, and 6 million email subscribers.
All of us at BLOX Digital are excited about what the future holds for our company and the new avenues of growth it opens for us so that we can better serve you in 2023 and beyond. Here's just a preview of what's to come:
We are in the process of implementing a systems reboot to introduce data-driven processes and customer success enhancements that will streamline the customer experience and help you better manage how you do business with BLOX Digital on a daily basis.
We are focused on enhancing our growth in broadcast via the creation of innovation-first video solutions that will help you connect with your worldwide audiences.
We will continue to expand internationally and pursue new verticals which can support our core product lines. To date, we've seen great growth in Canada, and we're working with a number of partners in U.S. territories including Guam, Saipan and Puerto Rico. We're also exploring opportunities in additional overseas geographies.
Although our name, look and feel will change, our commitment to you remains the same. As BLOX Digital, we are even better positioned to deliver valuable, integrated digital solutions that will support your ongoing digital transformations and help you achieve your business objectives.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your usual contact if you have any questions or require further information about this exciting development. I look forward to a bright future together!
Regards,
Brad Ward
Chief Executive Officer BLOX Digital (formerly TownNews)
