Auckland, New Zealand, 23 September 2024 – Flicks, Vista Group’s leading cinema and streaming guide, is pleased to announce its recent win in Australia’s 2024 Good Design Awards.

The prestigious Good Design Awards showcase the pinnacle of design excellence across 12 design disciplines and 32 categories. Among the standout 2024 winners announced on Friday night at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Sydney was Flicks, who received the Good Design award in the Digital Design category for exceptional design and innovation.

The Jury praised Flicks commenting: “Flicks delivers an exceptional user experience by aggregating cinema and streaming content in a visually appealing and functional manner. The Jury praised its thoughtful approach to content discovery and user needs, resulting in a well-designed site that effectively addresses content overload and enhances user engagement.”

“We're beyond pleased to win this award, maybe a little too pleased," said Flicks CEO Paul Scantlebury. "Design and usability is at the core of what we do. Distilling the ridiculously diverse landscape of entertainment options into a simple and engaging product is what we're obsessing over all day. So, for our team to be recognised for that is awesome."

Rachel Wye, Managing Director of Good Design Australia, remarked, “This year’s Awards reflect the profound ripple effects that exceptional design can have on people, place and planet. The projects honoured in these Awards exemplify how thoughtful design can drive meaningful change, not only enhancing user experiences and the way people interact with the world, but also contributing to a more sustainable and more prosperous future.”
