Newscycle says Amazon has chosen its Mobile to feature in its new Alexa agencies and developer tools page.
The Amazon web page highlights agencies, developers and tool builders that work directly with clients to deliver content on Amazon Alexa devices. The page also serves as a reference guide for companies looking for assistance in building Alexa skills.
The voice-activated service is spreading into numerous devices, with particular growth coming from the news media industry. Alexa devices provide new content distribution opportunities through products like Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap, Amazon Fire TV and Fire Tablets.
President of mobile Wade Beavers says Newscycle is happy to be chosen as a preferred resource to build Alexa skills: "To meet customer and industry demands, we have expanded our product portfolio to include Over-The-Top technology, delivering an OTT experience that is measurably different from other providers.
"We provide alternative designs focusing on playlist-type viewing, instant live view or content browsing, which is how publishers want to engage their users and especially appeal to younger generations. A great design and user experience helps build and retain digital audiences."
