Shutterstock, leading global technology company offering high-quality assets, tools and services through its creative platform, announced it is launching its first brand marketing campaign in six years. The ‘It’s not stock, it’s Shutterstock™’ message is designed to showcase the unparalleled quality and depth of Shutterstock’s creative asset repository driven by more than 550,000 contributors from around the globe, as well as highlight the proprietary search and discovery technologies that inspire the creative professionals who use Shutterstock to find the perfect asset every time.

The campaign will launch across digital and social channels in January in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia and will expand to countries in Europe, Latin America and Asia shortly thereafter. Over 1.5 million new assets are added every week to the Shutterstock platform, ensuring that Shutterstock customers always have access to the freshest content available anywhere for their marketing and creative needs.

Creativity is now mission-critical for businesses of all sizes (…) Customer expectations are simply too high– companies with mediocre advertising or visually dull websites are being left behind. Creative professionals are discovering and using our captivating images, stunning video and catchy music tracks every day in thousands of new marketing campaigns globally. Our campaign is a celebration of the amazing artists who contribute these incredible assets to our platform, and highlights the extraordinary value that they bring to creative endeavors every day.
