CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: Telmex Chooses Snipp For Mobile Marketing Campaign

WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 10/25/12 — This document corrects and replaces the news release distributed on October 24, 2012 at 9:15 AM EDT.

Snipp Interactive Inc. (), (TSX: SPN) an international provider of mobile marketing solutions listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (Trading Symbol SPN), today announced that its partner in Mexico has been selected by Telmex, a leading telecom operator in Mexico, to create a marketing campaign for cell phone and tablet users.

Telmex is owned by Fortune 500 company America Movil, the largest telecommunications company in Mexico. The company owns approximately 90 percent of the telephone lines in Mexico City and currently has revenue in excess of USD $12 billion annually. It also provides communication services throughout Latin and South America.

The marketing campaign will use Snipp technology to create a contest for users to enter with their cell phones. This contest is an augmented reality video game experience complemented with Telmex branding and messaging. Users can enter the contest through their cell phone by simply following instructions provided at all Telmex retail outlets and phone kiosks across Mexico City. The campaign is expected to launch in early December to tie into Christmas promotions offered by Telmex.

This solution provides brands with a groundbreaking new technology that can engage customers by the one item they have with them at all times – their cell phones or tablets. Marketing in Mexico is focusing more and more on mobile solutions, as is the rest of the world, and expect to capture significant market share as evidenced by our ability to win business from a big established player like Telmex.”
