Deutsche Telekom And Magisto Partner; Millions of Europeans to Share Personal Video Memories in Real-time

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MWC -- Magisto, leading video storytelling platform, today announced a new distribution deal with European telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom, another global announcement that reflects growing interest in Magisto around the world.

This strategic partnership between Deutsche Telekom and Magisto will deliver the award-winning Magisto app to millions of Deutsche Telekom's European customers. 

Magisto uses artificial intelligence to deliver an automatic mobile solution for creating and sharing professional quality videos. This ability for DT customers to capture and share their personal memories with their mobile devices will be even more powerful when using the recently announced DT LTE-Advanced or LTE+ network.

"The power and speed of our LTE network is available to millions of our customers across Europe, but the promise of the network's speed and ease of use is only fully realized with applications that enhance people's lives and keeping families connected," said Marc Sommer, Vice President Marketing for Europe at Deutsche Telekom. "Loyal to our 'Life is For Sharing' promise, we strive to give our customers new and exciting ways to share and engage with their friends and families. Magisto makes sharing life moments easy, fun and immediate, so we anticipate that our customers will eagerly create and share using Magisto."

Last week, Magisto disclosed a revealing increase in users in the closing months of 2013.  The company said it has over 20 million registered users now, attracting 10 million new users since September, and more than 15 million users since last March.

"Partnering with Deutsche Telekom AG has been a great experience. We were delighted to learn that 'easy to partner' is not an empty statement, and that a global operator can move at start-up speeds," said Oren Boiman, CEO of Magisto.  "Being able to provide T-Mobile users with a way to share videos over the most reliable network in Europe means enabling millions of meaningful interactions and the optimal experience for Magisto users."
