Jump to the 11:30 mark to see the MSG mention!

Or watch it all if you haven't already, there's some good info about social media tools, google trends and translations if you need that.

...although I could be a bit biased because they used my port as an example! And I didn't even know it till I watched this today! A very nice surprise  :D

Funny stuff considering linking to MSG on their own forum is blocked and considered linking to competition.

Congrats, Jodie! You've done a great job.

My lord...the difference between Shutterstock and iStock is just staggering. Just compare SS's whole video blog series with iS's email about rewriting descriptions. They're in different universes. So much helpful and sound information in this video.

That said, they need to work on the slideshow art direction and the lighting in the video. They should ask a designer and videographer from their vast pool of contributors to help put the videos together on a freelance basis. They could even rotate in different people each month.

Thanks Shelma,
Yep I think shutterstock put a lot of time into training, promotion and social.
Semmick - yes it's very recent, images showing from my Instagram last weekend!
