Our take
Audiobooks are the fastest-growing segment of publishing, but listening audiences are still small relative to their potential. Further, old-fashioned audiobook platforms are made for music, not reading, and that's why it's easy to lose your place but difficult to find it again. At Xigxag, they aim to help publishers diversify and grow audiences beyond traditional channels. They aspire to make more voices heard by more listeners.
At Xigxag, they've developed modern navigation controls specifically for audiobooks, which means it's easier for customers to focus - ensuring they have the most efficient reading experience possible. They differentiate by offering an integrated reading and listening experience, which seamlessly merges features of audiobooks with standard reading.
Recent funding has allowed Xigxag to develop its unique platform further. Currently named as one of the most innovative tech firms in the UK, the company is positioned well for future success.
