Dailymotion and WhoHaha Enter Deal to Bring Female-Led Comedy to New Digital Audiences

The Partnership Brings WhoHaha's Short Form Content to Global Comedy Fans

NEW YORK-April 4, 2018-Dailymotion, the leading destination for video discovery and exploration, has announced a content partnership with WhoHaha, a creative community and digital media studio that produces opportunities with funny female creators.

Through the partnership, WhoHaha will use Dailymotion's advanced video player technology to stream and host their original and owned content on their properties, as well as syndicate their complete content library to Dailymotion's audience of 300 million entertainment fans worldwide. WhoHaha will provide ongoing product consultation as a connector between Dailymotion and leading digital creators.

We consider ourselves strong allies of funny female creators and are constantly looking for partners who support our mission, said Luigi Picarazzi, Co-Founder of WhoHaha. Dailymotion has committed to amplifying our creators and their work, and for that, we are thrilled to have them join us as one of the partners in our program.

The cornerstone of the partnership is WhoHaha's Series Spotlight Program, which offers select creators the opportunity to leverage WhoHaha's reach and resources to maximize viewership of their original work. To kick off the partnership, two new series have launched on Dailymotion's cross-platform network:

* 2 Girls 1 Show, from Jen Jamula and Allison Goldberg, is an original comedy series that follows the two girls as they uncover the most bizarre corners of the web.

* The half parodied cooking show, half PSA In the Kitchen is comprised of short informational videos on the state of reproductive healthcare in America, hosted by a cheerful and familiar hostess preparing or attempting to prepare a recipe.

Added Shana Eddy, Head of US Content at Dailymotion: Comedy has emerged as one of the most passion-fueled genres across our entire content offering. As we expand this niche within Dailymotion, we look forward to elevating the talents of WhoHaha's female comedic community.
