Dailymotion acquires Mojo and marks a new milestone towards a European social video platform

Paris 05/15/2025 – Dailymotion, the global video platform owned by CANAL+, has acquired Archery Inc., the company responsible for developing Mojo, the highly popular AI-assisted video creation and editing app that has been downloaded more than 50 million times.

With its global user base of several million active users, Mojo is one of the leading apps for video creation. With its highly intuitive interface, ready-to-use AI features (brand kit, background deletion, animated effects), and its vast library of customizable templates, Mojo is widely acclaimed amongst content creators, brands and media outlets.  

A strategic addition to Dailymotion’s ecosystem and a new milestone for Mojo’s growth strategy.

With this acquisition, Dailymotion takes a new step forward in its strategy to consolidate its activity around three key pillars: 

The integration of Mojo will allow Dailymotion to offer professional creation and editing tools to all types of content creators — from passionate amateurs to seasoned professionals, reinforcing Dailymotion’s commitment to democratizing video creation, without compromising on quality or creative identity.

“With Mojo, we add an essential cornerstone to our offer, and in addition, we are delighted to welcome the highly talented Mojo Team, whose expertise and creativity will allow us to reinforce our capacity to innovate. Our ambition is clear: offer creators and brands the best tools to create, distribute and monetize their videos, in total autonomy.”
— Guillaume Clément, CEO of Dailymotion 

Mojo will continue to develop and innovate in parallel with its integration into Dailymotion’s product ecosystem. Access to the tool will remain unchanged for both current and future users. In addition, they will benefit from direct access to Dailymotion’s distribution network and monetization solutions.

“The association between Dailymotion and Mojo represents a unique opportunity to put Europe at the heart of the social video experience. The complementarity between a global distribution network and a creative platform offers a key element to achieve this ambition. For Dailymotion, it represents an opportunity to attract new talent and influence the emergence of a new generation of content creators, by relying on Mojo’s expertise in terms of video editing: innovative, simple, high quality. For Mojo, it will allow us to join the virtuous loop where Dailymotion users transition from content consumption to creating their own videos.”
— Jean Patry and Francescu Santoni, co-founders of Mojo / Archery Inc.  

Dailymotion Pro clients and advertisers will also be able to benefit from the AI-based creative solutions, gaining access to intuitive tools that will enable them to produce content faster, with increased personalization and performance. 

Dailymotion stakes a claim to the future of social video, emerging as Europe’s principled and purpose-driven answer to the global stage.

In an industry largely dominated by American and Chinese tech giants, Dailymotion confirms its ambition to offer an alternative vision of social media: with a focus on responsibility and engagement.  This acquisition represents a new step, and reinforces Dailymotion’s position in the online video industry, as a renowned European alternative.   

« It is essential that Europe can offer alternatives – not out of opposition, but out of ambition. It’s about offering users and creators a space where their voices can be heard, where quality takes precedence over algorithms, and where innovation serves creativity.”, concludes Guillaume Clément, CEO of Dailymotion

This strategic orientation becomes a reality with the support of CANAL+ who, thanks to this bolt-on acquisition, drive meaningful value for Dailymotion with a near to neutral impact on capital, while enriching their portfolio of tech companies.
