Title: iStock Exclusive 2017 download targets question
Post by: Karen on December 28, 2017, 14:34
Have achieved higher royalty rates during 2017?
Will you start 2018 at the same royalty rate as in 2017?
Or will you move down?

Nice idea, but there may not be enough exclusive contributors that are active on this forum to provide useful poll results. Best wishes...

No kidding. I think this is not the forum to be positive about IS/GI and share the positive results. It's more a forum where the same 30-40 people whine incessantly about everything and anything related to IS/GI and skin you alive if you think different.

Sorry, but where can I see my target in 2018?

I went to ESP and cannot figure it out.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the reply. I did not read the newsletter and had to recover it from the deleted folder.  ;D

And it's sooooo unjustified, as Getty is all Heart:
"The Culture of Getty Images
Our Leadership Principles
We want to attract candidates who embody a personal commitment to the following Leadership Principles. These principles define the kind of company we aim to be and form the cornerstone of everything we do:
    Trustworthiness, Transparency and Openness. We insist on honesty, integrity and openness.
    Raise the Bar. It is incumbent upon us to increase our standards of performance and strive for excellence.
    Lead by Example. We are stewards of excellence and consistently demonstrate our values.
    One Voice. Collective responsibility must be embraced.
    Bring Me Solutions. Identifying a problem is important, but finding the solution is far more valuable.
    No silos. It’s not “their” problem — it’s “our” problem.
    The Obligation to Care. We must truly care about this business and our colleagues.
At Getty Images, these principles are not just slogans but deeply felt statements that identify what we value and what we practice."

Once you realize that it is opposite century for Getty it all makes sense.

Have achieved higher royalty rates during 2017?
Will you start 2018 at the same royalty rate as in 2017?
Or will you move down?

Perhaps you want to add some additional choice to your poll like:

 - I cancelled my Exclusivity with iStock
 - I closed my Getty account and pulled all of my images off of iStock

You can't "pull all your images off iStock" as 'they' don't let you. All you can do is end your contract.

Is it just me, or do other people look at the current results graph and think we are all giving "the middle finger" to Getty?  ::)  ::)
