Achievement by Shutterstock Signifies Prominent Role of Visual Communications in Advertising, Marketing, and Film Industries
Shutterstock, a global technology company offering a creative platform for high-quality assets, tools and services, announced that it has licensed more than 1 billion royalty free images, videos and music tracks across all of its businesses.
The company was founded in 2003 and this milestone reflects licenses granted over the past 14 years.
Its library now offers more than 170 million commercial images, 40 million editorial images and 9 million video clips.
The company licenses more than 5.5 images every second directly from its website and through innovative API integrations with companies such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
It not only empowers businesses, marketing agencies, media organisations and production companies around the world through its e-commerce and enterprise offerings, but also by seamlessly embedding into its customer’s workflow, wherever that may be.
“Shutterstock’s continued commitment to developing innovative technology, offering an unparalleled customer experience and providing high-quality content to customers globally has led to unique partnerships providing access to customers directly from the tools they use most often.
“Reaching 1 billion licenses signifies the prominent role visual communications plays in media, advertising and film every day. I look forward to the next decade of technology advancements embedding Shutterstock everywhere, while continuing to enhance our creative platform helping customers best create and communicate their story,” said Jon Oringer, Founder and CEO of Shutterstock.
The company has been a publicly traded company for over five years and to mark the sale of over 1 billion licenses, the company rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, 31 January.
