NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - July 15, 2014) - Keek Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KEK)(OTCQX: KEEKF) - Keek's global growth continues with the expansion of its European strategy today. In April 2014, Keek, the leading mobile video social network, opened US offices and has made recent hires including CEO Alexandra Cameron, CMO Lin Dai, Chief Product Officer Jamie King and today Keek names Iain Wilson as VP, EU Business Development. Already a leading video app in many countries throughout Europe, Keek currently has over 67.5 million members worldwide, 19% of which are European based. Wilson will be based in London and will report to Dai. He will be responsible for leading the development of Keek's marketing and content partners across the European markets, which will include major media companies, celebrity influencers and consumer brands.

Wilson joins Keek after serving as the head of international partnerships at YuMe, a leading global video ad network for online, mobile and connected tv. He joined YuMe in 2012 and substantially contributed to the overall growth across the European markets. Before joining YuMe, Wilson served in executive roles in both Europe and internationally at major media and technology companies including Yahoo!, The Economist, Shopping.com and Flurry.

"Europe is an important part of Keek's global story, and we need a leader with international experience and connections to further build upon and amplify the organic success that is emerging throughout the pan-Europe region," comments Lin Dai, "Iain set himself apart from the other candidates because of his wealth of knowledge of the EU digital landscape and diverse skill set across business strategy, publisher relations, mobile and video advertising. We are thrilled to have him join our growing executive team."

Wilson said: "I am excited about Keek because the social video industry has exploded exponentially year-over-year and has enormous potential in the future. I want to not only be a part of that category growth, but also partner with the clear emerging leader. With its celebrity and influencer connections and strong user base, Keek is poised for even greater success and it has already surpassed many of its competitors with its global reach and ability to give users 36 seconds of content. I am thrilled to expand the brand across the European market."
