EpicTV JOINS FORCES WITH HEXO+
The online action and adventure sports channel, EpicTV has today announced a partnership with HEXO+, the autonomous drone, founded by legendary snowboarder Xavier de Le Rue. It will see the two collaborate on key film projects, shot using HEXO+ drones, on which EpicTV staff will be trained.
The agreement will also include the launch of a HEXO+ video channel on the EpicTV platform. Content from here will be shared across EpicTV’s global platform, distribution network and social media channels to millions of captive action and adventure fans.
HEXO+ drones are also immediately available for pre-order from the EpicTV Shop, with delivery of the eagerly awaited products later this year.
The drone, which is controlled by a simple smartphone app, follows users as they skate, ski, ride or explore, while delivering spectacular professional grade footage that is normally only achieved with a film crew. HEXO+ is “unlike any other drone on the market as it is fast, responsive, and can predict the subject’s next move to ensure perfect framing.”
EpicTV and HEXO+ are launching a contest to celebrate the new partnership, giving entrants the opportunity to win a HEXO+ drone. For details on entry, visit: www.epictv.com/content/hexo-plus-competition.
Antoine Level, CEO of HEXO+ said, “We are very pleased to launch this new marketing partnership with EpicTV, promoting and selling our range of HEXO+ products through their online shop. We are thrilled to leverage EpicTV’s huge reach in the outdoor industry, as well as their strengths in both marketing and sales of drones. We look forward to growing our relationship with EpicTV for years to come.”
Jean-Mael Gineste, Head of Partnerships at EpicTV said, “We are thrilled to welcome HEXO+ on board as one of our new partners. EpicTV is always striving to deliver the best stories and video content to the world. This is made possible by working with the best brands in the market. We are hugely excited about working with HEXO+, and utilizing them to enhance our production quality as they provide expertise and support to our EpicTV team and fans worldwide.”

About HEXO+:

After launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund HEXO+ in June 2014, the team reached its funding target of $50,000 in just 37 minutes.
