Flipagram (www.Flipagram.com), the personal video story app and network, today announced that more than 1,000 signed musical artists become "Flipagram Verified" users of the service in 2015. Over 800 of these artists joined in the second half of the year, after Flipagram had closed licensing deals with all major labels including Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music, Merlin and The Orchard -- and music publishers, including Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG, and the NMPA. These landmark music deals allow Flipagram users to include up to 60 seconds of free music from millions of song previews as the soundtrack of their Flipagram personal video stories (Flips).
"People are taking more and more photos and videos with their phones, increasingly choosing to create Flips and tell a whole video story set to music, rather than sharing just a single silent moment or fleeting video highlight," said Farhad Mohit co-founder and CEO of Flipagram. "We're thrilled that so many influential musicians are embracing Flipagram as the way to share their personal video stories and encouraging our tens of millions of users to do more of the same."
In addition to sharing their own Flips with fans, Verified Artists on Flipagram enjoy many additional benefits including, increased promotion of their music throughout the app, customized outlinks, the ability to create unique hashtag campaigns, and badged interactions that encourage users to create more of the kinds of Flipagrams that artists like.
