Hey Innovate Hampton Roads, buckle up—February 26, 2025, just lit a fire under one of our local legends! Nearly five years ago, Magazine Jukebox kicked off in our backyard with a wild idea: ditch the dusty waiting room mags for a digital fix. Fast forward, and they’ve morphed into a global vibe-setter, now rocking games, trivia, and a whole lot more (teaser: something epic’s brewing!). Today, they’re flipping the script again—say hello to CXperks, the new star under their parent company, Magazine Jukebox, Inc.
So, what’s CXperks? It’s not just entertainment—it’s a full-on customer experience glow-up. We’re talking user, patient, and customer vibes, all in one. Picture this: you’re chilling at a Chesapeake café or a Virginia Beach car dealership, you scan a QR code, and bam—free curated content hits your phone. No paywalls, no data grabs, no app downloads. Just pure, seamless fun. They’ve been perfecting this since we first spotlighted them on Innovate757, and now they’re taking it global—hospitals, laundromats, you name it.
Here’s the kicker: most businesses either sell your data, bombard you with ads, or charge you straight up. CXperks says nah to that. They’re handing businesses—from Newport News to Norway—a way to hook customers up with premium perks, no strings attached. And they’re not stopping there. SMS access? Incoming. Affiliate collabs and white-label options? You bet. This is Hampton Roads innovation flexing hard—building on their 2023 “Top to Watch” win and partnerships with heavyweights like TIME and Men’s Health.
From a scrappy startup to a worldwide disruptor, CXperks is proof our region’s got the juice. They’re turning wait times into win times, and we’re hyped to see where this rocket’s headed next. Stay tuned, Hampton Roads—this is our story, and it’s only getting louder!
