Keek Names Interactive Entertainment and Gaming Pioneer Jamie King
as Chief Product Officer
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired -
June 12, 2014) - Keek, Inc. (TSX-VENTURE: KEK) (OTCQX: KEEKF) announced today that it has
appointed Jamie King to the new position of Chief Product
Officer. The King hire marks the third recent senior
appointment for Keek. In April, Keek named a new CEO,
Alexandra Cameron, and CMO, Lin Dai to its leadership
team. King is an award-winning interactive entertainment
pioneer with over 15 years of digital product
experience. During his career, to date, King has been credited
with over 90 top interactive gaming titles, always at the forefront
of many of the latest innovations from console to mobile.
King will oversee the product team and his primary focus will be
on delivering a compelling user experience, consistently improving
upon the product offering and creating opportunities for the 67
million Keek members worldwide to share superior content, which is
expected to result in deeper engagement. He will be expanding
the product team in both New York and Toronto and will report to
Keek CEO Alexandra Cameron.
King was Co-Founder and VP of Product Development at Rockstar
Games, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, the video
game developer and publisher best known for game franchises such as
Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne, Red Dead and Manhunt. During his
tenure at Rockstar, King managed over 750 employees, distributed
globally across eight studios. In that role, he led teams of
engineers, designers and artists in the development and production
of best-selling video game titles. In 2007, King founded 4MM
Games, and in his role as Chief Creative Officer, he designed and
developed numerous branded games, including Def Jam Rapstar for the
Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii video game consoles and Dog Show Friends for
Facebook. Most recently he was running his own company, JAMIE INC.,
handling product development, across devices with a heavy focus on
video, gaming and social. At JAMIE INC., King worked with
several clients including Playscape, L+R, BWG, SA Studios Global
and Soul & Vibe.
Keek CEO Alexandra Cameron said, "Jamie will bring tremendous
leadership to our team from a user experience perspective. A
core piece to our forward strategy is the acquisition of
world-class talent and ground-breaking thinkers. Jamie fits
that criteria. He has a wealth of knowledge in the youth
product space and understands how young minds think, connect and
like to be challenged. Most importantly, he understands the
culturally significant role Keek plays in the lives of a new
generation around the globe. Keek is social, video and
mobile. Jamie gets how exciting that proposition is and we are
excited about continuing to build something remarkable
together."
"I have always worked with innovative, game-changers. What Keek
has done over the last few years is no exception" said
King. "36 Seconds has proved to be just right for the 67
million users that have made us the dark horse in the video social
space. You can't deny the momentum Keek has. We are not just a
player in the category, we are going to define it. The kind of
creativity we can expect is boundless and we're about to take a
fantastic journey with Keekers around the world!"
King has been named as a Top 100 Influential by NY
Magazine. He is currently on the advisory boards of Soul &
Vibe and BWG.
While the CPO is a newly created role for Keek, COO Troy Fraser
had handled some of the product development
responsibilities. Also effective today, Troy Fraser has moved
onto other endeavors. Keek wishes to thank him for his efforts
and wishes him much success in the future.
