JibJab: The Original Smile Maker, Now With New Tricks

Since its introduction in late 2014, the JibJab app has brought tens of millions of smiles to people with its extensive collection of personalized GIFs, eCards and music videos. Starting today, it’s even easier for people to create quick GIFs of themselves, family and friends dancing their way to superstardom. With a new iMessage extension, JibJab laughs are now just a tap or two away from the conversation.

Highlights include:

“At JibJab, we have always used technology to create content that connects people through laughter,” said JibJab Bros. Studios CEO and co-founder, Gregg Spiridellis. “Gomoji and Slicker Stickers are the first of many products to come that deliver exceptional content for conversations to consumers.”

Hugely popular with consumers for its Starring You® eCards, political satire videos and more, JibJab has long-been at the forefront of mass communications trends, delivering hilarious content that people love to share. JibJab’s political satires lit up email inboxes in a pre-YouTube world. Its personalized dancing elves piggybacked MySpace and Facebook to become a holiday tradition. These newest apps represent the next evolution of the studio, offering consumers new ways to create and share laughter from directly within the most widely used feature on smartphones: text messaging.
