Bitzio, Inc. ("Bitzio" or "the Company") (OTCBB:BTZO), a leader in apps, mobile
media and behavioral analytics, today announced the definitive acquisition of
Motion Pixel Corporation Holdings, Inc. ("MPC"), a high-end media and animation
studio with operations in the U.S., Costa Rica, and India. 


The MPC acquisition adds 35 animators, developers and managers to the expanding
Bitzio global team. Terms of the acquisition to be disclosed upon an upcoming
8-K filing.


William Schonbrun, President and CEO of Bitzio commented, "The acquisition of
MPC elevates the quality, beauty and experience of a Bitzio app to that of an
animated movie. MPC's media and animation capabilities sync perfectly with our
company vision. MPC also brings with it amazing relationships with sports and
entertainment properties - and through those relationships we are able to secure
mobile and digital rights to animated versions of world renowned athletes and
stars." Examples of MPC's animation work can be viewed on their Demo Reel.


"Bitzio is now a company focused on delivering mobile apps with movie quality
animation and game play, virtually never found in mobile apps. With MPC's high
end visual capabilities, and media and licensing rights, we can now completely
focus on delivering apps for existing fans of sports teams, athletes and stars -
and we can include animated versions of those teams and stars in the mobile
game. We believe focusing our efforts on the existing fans of sports and
entertainment properties, coupled with the quality of our apps and our
behavioral analytics capabilities are massive differentiators. This is what sets
us apart from other app development companies." 


Revenue will be generated from several channels including paid downloads,
freemium (free to paid user) conversions based on premium content, in-app
advertising, in app sponsorship, premium in-app purchases (game enhancement
features) and cross promotion of other apps built around the sports or
entertainment property through the Company's proprietary App Wall technology. 


Manny Bains, CEO of MPC commented, "Our team has seen a perfect alignment with
Bitzio's corporate strategy. We have the ability to create a level of graphic
beauty that is rare in the world of apps right now. Bitzio brings the
technology, deployment, marketing and monetization capabilities to the table. We
chose to become a part of Bitzio because of their talent and vision. They have
solved the conundrum that most app development companies have, how to connect
with users. They are truly a behavioral analytics company masquerading as an app
developer and this excites us. The value of marketing to existing fan bases
boosts potential monetization and user conversion rates to levels we have never
seen."


Bitzio will be focusing on developing apps for four key verticals of existing
fan bases: sports teams, entertainment, Bollywood and gaming. The Company will
utilize the Bitzio Platform, which includes proprietary technologies such as
Bitzio's App Wall to market, monetize and analyze user behavior.
