For those of you who use LinkedIn please send out messages to your professional contacts. FB and Twitter are great to spread the overall message. LinkedIn will send the message to your professional contacts in every industry. Keep it polite, keep it business, keep it professional.

Hopefully Shutterstock will feel the pinch from both sides.

Such low commissions rule out the use of professional models, location shoots, props, photographic equipment and assistants necessary to produce work of any meaningful value. As a result, we are also calling on all advertising agencies, newspapers, production houses, web developers and other buyers of stock to also boycott Shutterstock over this time in favour of more contributor-friendly agencies that include Adobe Stock, Pond5, Dreamstime, Stocksy, Alamy as well as most rights-managed and many niche agencies.

#advertisingandmarketing #advertisingagency #digitalmarketing  <<< these 3 hashtags on LinkedIn have a huge following and target a very specific audience many of who are photo buyers etc.
