“Our contributor community plays an indispensable role in the success of our business and provides the essential and fresh new assets that are so important to the work of our customers as they create campaigns, websites, media, and films,” said Jon Oringer, founder and CEO of Shutterstock. “Our contributors come from over 100 countries. By truly localizing the website and mobile applications, we are improving their experience, which ultimately enhances the breadth and depth of the collection available. Over the last year we have made dramatic improvements to the contributor experience, rebuilding the site to simplify upload, tagging and reviews, which in turn benefits our customers with new content every day, from all corners of the world.”
