2014 AGM and #SnakkLive panel event highlights

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, 19 September 2014 - Live web broadcasts of shareholder
events is proving popular with Snakk Media Ltd (NZAX:SNK) investors, with
more than 246 people tuning into the company's second Annual Meeting and
#SnakkLive evening panel events on Tuesday.

An additional crowd of 150-plus shareholders, marketers, media agencies and
digital industry people attended the events in person to hear from a mix of
Snakk executives, board members and others who live and work at the
intersection of digital, media, marketing and technology.

Highlights from both events follow:

Annual Meeting
Group CEO Mark Ryan's presentation, which overviewed the company's
performance for the 2014 financial year, the market opportunity and Snakk's
growth plans, can be viewed as a PDF here. The meeting also included the
re-election of the company's director: Derek Handley and the appointment of
Staples Rodway as the company's new auditor.

#SnakkLive evening panel
As people spend an increasing amount of time browsing information, using
social networks, playing games and consuming media on their smart screens,
brands are being forced to rethink the experiences they offer their
customers.

The #SnakkLive panel this year included TVNZ CEO Kevin Kenrick; ASB General
Manager of Marketing Anna Curzon; Flossie Founder and digital marketer Jenene
Crossan; and Snakk Chair Derek Handley, who shared how 'smart screens' and
mobile devices are impacting their professional and personal worlds; while
consumer psychologist and AUT marketing professor Roger Marshall showed us
that increased levels of multi-tasking has not led to increases in the
brain's capacity to multi-focus.

Visiting analyst Dr Richard Windsor presented his mobile ecosystem research
into which brands might win the mobile wars and why, and what the 2.6 billion
people that will be using smartphones by 2016 will be using them for.

Both events were livestreamed, and a highlights video from the evening is
available for viewing here. Please visit www.snk.co.nz from Monday 22
September for more videos, including the CEO's presentation at the AGM and
the panel discussion at #SnakkLive 2014.

Commenting on this week's events, Snakk Group CEO Mark Ryan says, "What we
saw from all our presenters was that as consumers continue to involve smart
screens into more areas of their lives, their expectations of the advertisers
that share that space also increases.

Having the technology and talent in place to deliver ads that are highly
targeted, relevant, and engaging to the people who see them puts Snakk in a
strong position to help brands meet these new expectations."

Snakk Media named 'Best for Workers'
Snakk was also recognised this week for creating some of the highest quality
jobs in the world, earning a place on the third annual 'Best for Workers'
list for achieving a worker impact score in the top 10% of all Certified B
Corporations.

Snakk is the only public company in New Zealand that has met the rigorous
social and environmental performance standards required to become a certified
B Corporation. Metrics assessed for the 'Best for Workers' index include a
company's compensation and benefits, health and wellness programs,
parent-friendly flex time and leave policies, professional development and
