Market leader in stock content licensing with one of the largest libraries globally

Shutterstock, Inc. is a leading global technology company that operates one of the world's largest digital marketplaces for licensed creative content. Founded in 2003, the company provides access to an extensive library of over 400 million high-quality stock images, videos, music tracks, editorial content, and other creative assets used by businesses, marketing agencies, media companies, and creative professionals worldwide. The platform serves as a two-sided marketplace connecting content creators with customers who need visual and audio assets for their marketing, advertising, and creative projects. While not a traditional AdTech company, Shutterstock plays a significant role in the advertising and marketing technology ecosystem by providing the creative assets that power advertising campaigns, social media content, websites, and marketing materials. The company has evolved beyond its core stock content marketplace to offer AI-powered creative tools, including generative AI capabilities, 3D modeling, and design templates through acquisitions like Giphy (later divested) and PicMonkey. Shutterstock operates globally with a contributor network of photographers, videographers, illustrators, and musicians, and serves customers in over 150 countries through its subscription-based and on-demand licensing models.
