To further extend our presence in the enterprise, this week we announced the partnership with Salesforce to make licensed imagery available inside the Salesforce ExactTarget Marketing Cloud, the world's largest [grab] (ph). Through this integration, [indiscernible] can seamlessly access millions of Shutterstock images and use [indiscernible] by connecting a Shutterstock Enterprise account or by signing up for one. This partnership underscores Shutterstock's [indiscernible] premier technology partner for market-leading platform with Salesforce and Facebook that recognizes high-quality imagery is the key towards customer success.

Of the many investments we have made in our enterprise strategy this quarter, the most notable was the acquisition of WebDAM, a leading provider of Web-based digital asset management tools. WebDAM provides marketing and creative teams with a cloud-based solution for managing, searching, distributing and collaborating on digital assets. This includes stock and custom images, videos, creative files, documents and presentations. The company's offerings are particularly attractive to large enterprises which make up the majority of WebDAM client base.

The acquisition of WebDAM allows us to deepen our relationships with enterprise customers and to expand our addressable share of wallet to include both the content and the software that our customers need to do creative work. And since the majority of WebDAM's revenue comes from annual or multi-year software-as-a-service commitment, WebDAM will strengthen our base of recurring, predictable high gross margin revenue. We plan to accelerate our investments there.

Lol. They signed up the Silicon Valley (TV comedy show) scripts writers to do their press releases ?

Silicon Valley

Even if Shutterstock pays only around 28% to the authors, I have the feeling that the bigger part of the money is in better hand at Shutterstock than at most other sites. They manage to keep sales growing even if my portfolio and uploaded new files make for tinier and tinier part of their database. And they also manage to slowly raise the average return per download throughout he years.

Social Studio is being launched with the help of a number of partners. It�s tied into Getty Images and Shutterstock, giving users the ability to pull in photographs from those services.

Pricing for Social Studio begins at US$1,500 per month, with costs going up based on a number of consumption metrics, such as the number of social media handles a company wants.

Somehow Shutterstock keeps finding ways to increase sales while also increasing our earnings per download. If only everyone else would follow suit.

Getty is also a partner with Salesforce.
