Analysis of Agreement Containing
Consent Order to Aid Public Comment
The Federal Trade Commission
(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted,
subject to final approval, an agreement
containing a consent order from Reverb
Communications, Inc. and Tracie
Snitker, 100% owner and the only
officer and director of the corporation
(‘‘respondents’’).
The proposed consent order
(‘‘proposed order’’) has been placed on
the public record for thirty (30) days for
receipt of comments by interested
persons. Comments received during this
period will become part of the public
record. After thirty (30) days, the
Commission will again review the
agreement and the comments received,
and will decide whether it should
withdraw from the agreement and take
appropriate action or make final the
agreement’s proposed order.
This matter involves the public
relations, marketing, and sales services
that respondents provided to companies
that developed video game applications.
The Commission’s complaint alleges
that, from November 2008 through May
2009, respondents’ employees, posing as
ordinary consumers, posted positive
product reviews online for their clients’
gaming applications. These postings did
not disclose the compensated nature of
the relationship between the reviewers
and the publishers of the gaming
applications. The complaint alleges that
the respondents violated Section 5 by
misrepresenting that reviews of certain
gaming applications were those of
independent, ordinary consumers. The
complaint further alleges that the
respondents violated Section 5 by
failing to disclose the material
connections between the product

reviewers and the sellers of the
reviewed products.
Part I of the proposed order prohibits
the respondents, in connection with the
advertising of any product or service,
from misrepresenting their status as
independent users or ordinary
consumers of that product or service.
Part II prohibits the respondents from
making any representation about any
user or endorser of a product or service
unless they disclose, clearly and
prominently, a material connection,
when one exists, between the user or
endorser of the product or service and
any other party involved in promoting
that product or service. The proposed
order defines ‘‘material connection’’ as
any relationship that materially affects
the weight or credibility of any
endorsement and would not be
reasonably expected by consumers.
Part III requires the respondents to
take all reasonable steps to remove, with
seven days of service of the order, any
previously posted endorsements that do
not comply with Parts I and II of the
order.
Parts IV through IX of the proposed
order require respondents: to keep
copies of relevant consumer complaints
and inquiries, documents demonstrating
order compliance, and any documents
relating to any representation covered
by this order; to provide copies of the
order to certain of their personnel; to
notify the Commission of changes in
corporate structure that might affect
compliance obligations under the order;
to notify the Commission of changes in
corporate business or employment as to
proposed respondent Tracie Snitker
individually; and to file compliance
reports with the Commission. Part IX
provides that the order will terminate
after twenty (20) years, with certain
exceptions.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
proposed order, and it is not intended
to constitute an official interpretation of
the agreement and proposed order or to
modify in any way their terms.
By direction of the Commission.
Richard C. Donohue
Acting Secretary.
