poised to capitalize on the global surge in video use

Shutterstock was the first company to offer affordable, royalty-free
stock video clips by subscription when it launched Shutterstock Footage in
2006. Now adding over 2,000 clips per week, Shutterstock is poised to
capitalize on the increasing global appetite for watching video across
several platforms.

In fact, according to a report last year by Hitwise, a top online market
research firm, UK traffic to video websites has roughly tripled in the last
year.

“We’re very excited about the growth of Shutterstock Footage,” said Jon
Oringer, founder and CEO of Shutterstock. “The fact that we have reached
100,000 high quality clips in just three years demonstrates the huge growth
potential of royalty-free video, as well as the enthusiasm of our talented
filmmakers and videographers from around the world.”

One such videographer, Jon Paul Careless of London, England, is a top
submitter at Shutterstock, having uploaded more than 1,700 clips to the site
since June of 2007.

“Due to the popularity of my clips on Shutterstock, I’ve been taking
trips to different parts of the world to shoot timely topics such as wind and
solar farms,” said Careless. “As the result of the strong commissions, I plan
to shoot stock full-time within a year.”

Thanks to Shutterstock’s global base of videographers like Careless,
Shutterstock’s library continues to grow, both in size and diversity.

“Our expansive clip library ensures that subscribers can rely on us for a
diverse selection of content,” said Adam Riggs, president and CFO of
Shutterstock. “Our customers range from film, TV and news producers to
multimedia advertising directors, website developers, and bloggers. With
subscriptions as low as $49 USD, anyone can afford compelling video from
Shutterstock.”
