Atul Sabharwal, CEO and co-founder of Snipp commented, "Brazil is a huge market for us and we are thrilled to be partnering with FTC and its team, who not only understand the market really well and have deep commercial partnerships already in place, but have also invested in Snipp and are intimately familiar with our offerings. In addition to Brazil, we have partners in place in Mexico and Colombia, and we will continue to expand our presence in Latin America and worldwide by partnering with strong local companies in each market."

FTC CEO Celso Posca said, "Expanding our services to include Snipp's robust suite of promotion solutions was a natural next step for us.
