Keek Update: The Social Video Platform's Current Status
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Mar 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. Since its inception,
the platform has had 353 million unique visitors, 1.9 billion
visits, 5.4 billion keek views, 37 billion page views, and has a
video library of 57 million keeks. Over the past several months -
and during the merger process - the Keek platform has been able to
sustain a Monthly Active User (MAU) metric of approximately 12
million keekers (users); grow its registered user base by
approximately 750,000 users per month; and create approximately 1.7
million keeks per month.
