Kaneva Launches 'Keep It Real!' Premiere Sponsorship Program

    ATLANTA, GA, March 09, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kaneva, a social entertainment world that unifies Web 2.0 social networking with an immersive 3D world, announces today their 'Keep it Real!' premiere sponsorship model for brand opportunities.

"We are opening up our doors and welcoming select consumer brands to engage with our growing member base and experience marketing in an entirely new way," said Christopher Klaus, Founder and CEO of Kaneva. "With Kaneva, we push traditional online marketing campaigns into an interactive, entertainment world where brands have the opportunity to become content providers," said Klaus.

Keep it Real

'Keep it Real!' is set to launch during the Engage! Expo in New York City March 10-11, 2009; however, Kaneva is already engaged in conversations with several large brands to add a 2D/3D experience to their online presence in 2009. 'Keep it Real!' follows a successful Kaneva consumer public beta where membership has grown to over 1.5 million people.

Kaneva represents an extraordinary branding opportunity for companies. Designed from the ground up to appeal to the mainstream online consumer, Kaneva's experience offers social networking, media sharing, and simplicity--all of which make it the right fit for marketing mavens to take the plunge into a fused 2D/3D experience.

"With 'Keep it Real!' we are encouraging brands to explore our exciting program offerings, which cover a range of themes from apparel, home furnishings, electronics to exclusive destinations and much more," said Jeffrey Longoria, Kaneva's Chief Revenue Officer.

Brand safe and optimized, Kaneva's immersive 2D/3D environment enables brands to become content providers in a relevant, modern-day world. Kaneva encourages its members to extend their real lives online, connect with friends, to share their interests, and to engage in real time activities.

Instead of a virtual, cartoonish or fantasy world, Kaneva 'Keeps it Real!'--by virtually bringing together the best of what real life has to offer.
