Funny Or Die

Mobile apps development

Funny Or Die doesn’t need any introductions. A leading full-service comedy studio, the company has produced content for HBO, Comedy Central, and Netflix and featured big names like Zach Galifianakis, Jim Carrey, and Barack Obama.

Bringing all the best comedy videos and off-the-wall content highlights in one app, Funny Or Die won numerous awards, including Emmy, Peabody Award, Clio, and the Golden Lion.

With 19+ million unique users and 60+ million video views per month, Funny Or Die took a step forward in transforming its digital tools. In 2015, the company partnered with AgileEngine to work on the redesign and implementation of its flagship Android app.
