Keek Update: The Social Video Platform's Current Status

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 12, 2014) - Keek Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KEK)(OTCQX:KEEKF) would like to update its shareholders and the investment community on the current status of its mobile social video platform. Over the last few months, management has been focused on the fine-tuning of the platform for continued growth, content diversification and engagement, as well as the development of a monetization strategy that will continue to maintain the Keek platform as a free service for users.

Current development of the platform is addressing new features based on innovation, user feedback, competitive analysis, organizational goals and market trends. Keek's marketing and partnership programs are focused on increasing relevancy, engagement and content creation in the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia.

Over the last several months, Keek has successfully accomplished the following:

• The development and release an Android app for use on the Nokia Asha smartphone that has been added to, and will be marketed by, Nokia as one of the top 100 apps in their app store. The Asha smartphone was launched at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month and recently launched in India.
  
  
• An agreement with Sprylogics was entered into (announced by Sprylogics on February 26, 2014), which allows Keek to use their machine learning classifiers, semantic and local search indexing technologies, so that Keek users can more easily search and view interesting, similar-content type keeks.
  
  
• Implementation and current testing of Google's DFP platform (DoubleClick for Publishers), a comprehensive ad serving solution offered by Google that has become the de facto standard for serving ads online. Keek is currently using DFP as its underlying technology to enable testing of pre-roll video advertisements on Keek's website and mobile applications. Other ad exchanges that Keek has formed relationships with include LiveRail, Adap.tv (AOL) and AdMarvel. Keek anticipates integrating these exchanges in the near future.
  
  
• The design and development of the Keek 2.0 website, which will implement new features such as: an improved stream; random content display; private accounts; responsive support for tablets and mobile devices; and multiple languages.
  
  

Mike Marrandino, President & CEO, is confident about the company's future direction and stated "Now that we have been able to put the merger behind us, all of us at Keek are very excited with the opportunities in front of us to continue to grow Keek into a relevant global social media platform. Our strategy remains simple; enable Keek to become a global 'go to' app in Social Media for short video communication by growing our presence in all six of the global regions in which we currently operate."

Keek launched its web-based version of the platform in July 2011. Its mobile interactive apps followed in May 2012 for iOS and Android. Blackberry and Windows mobile were released in March and May of 2013, respectively. Keek has an engaged social video community of over 65 million registered users.
