Proud to be the only B Corp-certified audiobook app in the UK, Xigxag has created a sophisticated content platform made up of a digital book app and audio library, complete with the first-ever community social platform — all complemented by an ecosystem of tech that enhances the reading experience for all. The Cornish and American co-founders bring transatlantic networks, screen and creaTech expertise to the fore, setting out on a mission to spearhead a generational shift in book consumption. They aim to keep young people engaged in literature, make books more accessible for the neurodiverse, and break down barriers for everyone to enjoy the written and spoken word.
This past year has seen a growing momentum in traction and visibility for Xigxag’s platform, with some exciting innovations in audiobook publishing services. The team has also secured Innovate UK and regional investment. A series of viral marketing campaigns, has allowed Xigxag to tap into new audiences and increase their visibility.
“The experience has been great. It’s been really powerful, building our connections and network across all the amazing people bringing creative innovation to life in Cornwall. Everyone worked so hard to offer advice, make connections and support us. The creative team has been brilliant!”
