Advertising and Marketing Industry Veteran Joins Keek Board of Directors

16/07/2014 1:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Keek Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KEK) (OTCQX: KEEKF) announced today that Matt Scheckner
has been appointed to its Board of Directors. Scheckner is President and CEO of
Stillwell Partners, a boutique consultancy. Stillwell is best known as the
producer of Advertising Week, the world's largest advertising, marketing and
media industry summit. The Week is conducted in New York City and London -- home
of Advertising Week Europe. Under Scheckner's leadership, which dates back to
2004, the B-to-B event has evolved into a vibrant, vital platform that advances
the industry. The event is supported and attended by the world's premier players
in creative, marketing, media and technology. 


Scheckner serves on the Board of Governors of the Friars Club and stands
alongside such luminaries as Milton Berle and Frank Sinatra as former "Friar of
the Year" -- a distinction he was awarded by his fellow Friars in 2011. He is
active with many causes, including the launch of War Child in the United States,
Comic Relief UK, London's Roundhouse and Tuesday's Children. 


From 2006-2008, Scheckner served as Consigliere at Yahoo! where he produced the
first digital Upfront, "Broadband on Broadway" and managed the corporation's
relationships with Madison Avenue. He also conceived and produced Yahoo!'s
corporate experiential marketing programs around the world and led the company's
support of the Tribeca Film Festival. 


For more than a decade (1995-2006), Scheckner owned and ran Empire Sports &
Entertainment, a marketing and strategic consulting firm. One of Empire's
largest clients was Radio City Productions. Under Scheckner's tenure, he was
instrumental in producing major events outside the Music Hall including the 1997
opening of Arthur Ashe Stadium, which featured Bill Cosby, Whitney Houston and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Pepsi's 1999 Centennial Celebration, which featured
Ray Charles, Lord of the Dance and the Rolling Stones. 


Prior to incorporating Empire in 1995, Scheckner served as Counsel on Sports
Marketing for the flagship office of Hill & Knowlton, a global public relations
firm where he founded the firm's sports and entertainment practice. Earlier,
from 1987 through 1994, Scheckner served as Executive Director of the New York
City Sports Commission, a not-for-profit organization founded during the Koch
administration. 


"Keek is at the center of the new ecosystem which is re-defining the business;
the convergence of content, distribution and technology," said Scheckner. "There
is no hotter area of the business. But it all begins with people and under
Alexandra Cameron's leadership, there is no question Keek will emerge as a force
to be reckoned with and I'm pleased and proud to be a soldier in the growing
Keek army."


"One of the major components to Keek's overall monetization strategy will
involve advertising in different forms, including branded content. Heavy weight
advertisers and agencies understand that powerful proposition and Matt is one of
the most professionally accomplished and connected executives in that space,"
said Keek CEO Alexandra Cameron. "The Keek mobile, social and video offering has
a significant reach into the trendsetter generation. This will only continue to
grow and evolve through product and content advancement on our roadmap. Matt
understands, provokes and creates thought leadership at the highest levels
through Advertising Week and we are privileged to have him join us in our go
forward strategy."
