Has anyone had any success approaching marketing companies directly before?

And how many clips did you have active at the time?

I'm assuming Northern America and Europe but does anyone sell mostly to any other countries.

Hi guys, I'm currently doing a degree in Film and TV Production Technology and am doing my dissertation on stock footage. I'm looking to get some feedback from some successful stock creators and it seems like you have a lot of content creators here doing well. I have created a survey which won't take more than 5 minutes to complete, it's designed to gather primary feedback from successful/knowledgable stock creators.

I'd really appreciate if you could spend a couple of minutes to complete my survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LJ85PS6

My experience is mainly in documentaries/short films etc but i do plan to dip my toe in to the world of stock footage in the future so I plan on sticking around here to soak up the experience of you guys. I'm stressing at the minute as my dissertation is du in 3 weeks  but it will soon be all over!

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask
