The convergence of content and commerce is changing the game for marketers and during this pivotal week, Keek will reveal opportunities to engage advertisers and will educate brands on how they can tap its over 69 million teen and young adult users. 

"Keek is very much on the leading edge of 'what's next' and we are thrilled to have them as a central player at Advertising Week," said Stillwell Partners Managing Partner and Advertising Week Executive Director Matt Scheckner.

Keek CEO Alex Cameron and various senior Keek executives will lead several panels and conversations throughout Advertising Week on many of the hottest topics in media and marketing today, from how to create content and tell a story in short form, to how social video is changing the face of entertainment. Social media stars and high profile experts will engage in debates around the digital and social video ecosystem and how to unleash their power for brands to authentically connect with consumers.

Cameron said "Whether it's a social video brand campaign, a celebrity connecting with fans, original content in sport, fashion, music, comedy or just inspiring and entertaining story telling it now requires being 'context clever' to be effective and engaging. The creative should be crafted for its specific environment and take advantage of different platforms with different functionalities. Keek is about providing peek moments in 36 seconds and we are aiming to help advertisers provide that point of view to our audience that make brands more interesting. Keek is taking a leadership position to help advertisers on that journey as social media, particularly video, becomes more and more important in driving influence and purchase behavior."

"Advertising Week is the perfect thought leadership conference for Keek to share and discuss innovations in social video for brands. Custom 'Keekisodes', new video ad formats and 'Keekbacks,' (a two-way video conversation between brands and consumers) are just some of the exciting offerings Keek is bringing to market," said Keek SVP Monetization Bill Blummer. "Our 36-second format provides brands with an opportunity to communicate in a unique way; reaching the coveted young adult audience when they are most engaged and with enough time to deliver a short story just like a 30 second movie trailer. Keek is a fantastic new opportunity at the intersection of mobile, social and video which marketers and agencies have noticed. It's a very exciting time!"
