Mr. Alex Cameron reports

KEEK NAMED OFFICIAL APP OF THE JANOSKIANS WORLD TOUR

Keek Inc. has partnered with teen sensation comedy troupe, The Janoskians, for the group's sold-out multicity Got Cake Tour around the world. Already avid users of the Keek video platform with over 3.2 million combined followers amongst its members, The Janoskians are a group of Melbourne-born, Los Angeles-based boys -- brothers Beau, Jai and Luke Brooks, and buddies James Yammouni and Daniel (Skip) Sahyounie. The group has racked up more than 200 million views across YouTube and boasts one of the most interactive and engaging social presences, with a unique combination of songs, "mockumentaries," dares and skits, even leveraging its success into a recent major motion picture deal with industry heavyweight, Lions Gate.

Keek will be the exclusive partner and official video app of the 43-city Got Cake Tour 2014, which kicks off in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with stops in Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium, Sweden and Norway, before hitting 28 stops in United States and Canada. The Janoskians and Keek are creating a daily behind-the-scenes series that will document the lives and experiences on tour, in the 36-second short video format that Keek is known for. The Janoskians will be sharing exclusive backstage peeks and tour bus confessionals with the fans, as well as their trademark pranks, dares and comedic skits along the way. The behind-the-scenes series will be exclusive to Keek and will appear on the group's new official channel page.

The partnership will also include a chance for both fans attending the shows and fans at home to win personalized prizes, including autographed photos, and clothing and merchandise, from the group's Dirty Pig clothing line. At the end of each show, The Janoskians will randomly select a winner from fans following their new official group account, Janoskians, on Keek. Some lucky winners in select cities will also win a chance to "meet and keek" with the group backstage.

"The Janoskians are a force and cultural phenomenon that is taking over the world," commented Lin Dai, chief marketing officer of Keek. "They are to teens today what Johnny Knoxville and Jackass were to teens 10 years ago, except their fan base is 100 per cent organic and born out of social media. Keek's unique 36-second format is perfect for capturing the guys' hilarious pranks and skits. We are super excited for the partnership and opportunity to support and help the group build an even greater global fan base."

"We've been using Keek for a long time now. It has become an important and easy-to-use part of our relationship with our fans, all over the world," said Beau Brooks.

The Janoskians is also a recording artist under Republic Records in North America and the United Kingdom and Sony Music in Australia and Eastern Europe, and the group has produced an eight-episode Web series for MTV Australia titled The Janoskians: MTV Sessions. The Janoskians has a rabid fan base, and, recently, in Times Square of New York, 20,000 fans arrived to meet the group and get autographs, forcing police to close off streets for several hours.
