Shutterstock Expands Successful API Program with New Technology Partners

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutterstock, Inc. (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global provider of commercial digital imagery and music, today announced technology integrations with Optimizely and Sprinklr. By integrating the Shutterstock API directly into their platforms, Optimizely and Sprinklr customers will be able to easily search, preview and license high-quality imagery for use in their optimization and social media campaigns.

Each integration helps marketers at different phases of their workflow. Optimizely, the most widely-adopted Experience Optimization Platform in the world, is leveraging Shutterstock's collection to empower thousands of global customers to seamlessly add images to their testing experiments and deliver better experiences across web and mobile. Sprinklr, the world's most complete enterprise social technology, is collaborating with Shutterstock to enable more than 1,000 brands to license imagery directly within their Content Discovery area by automatically suggesting relevant imagery to create powerful marketing campaigns.

"We are delighted to welcome Optimizely and Sprinklr to our API partner program, as both are at the forefront of their industries, empowering businesses with multichannel needs." said Catherine Ulrich, Shutterstock's Chief Product Officer. "Providing their customers with frictionless access to over 70 million images and 3 million video clips gives our API partners an instant edge over their competitors."

Optimizely and Sprinklr are among the first companies to integrate Shutterstock's new API into their platforms, which, in addition to its existing image library now offers video and music. Shutterstock's signature best-in-class search algorithm enables partners to create visually powerful experiences for its users that can increase revenue and boost customer engagement. The API allows for a wide range of integrations across websites, mobile applications, content management systems, and more. By integrating with Shutterstock image, video, or music search, companies like Optimizely and Sprinklr are joining other notable platforms leveraging Shutterstock's technology, including Facebook and NewsCred.  

"Optimizely is excited to partner with Shutterstock, enabling our joint customers to test and deliver the right, high quality, images to the right people at the right time," said Wyatt Jenkins, VP of Product, Optimizely. "With this integration, companies can discover which Shutterstock images provide the best experiences across web and mobile without ever leaving our Experience Optimization Platform."

"Relevant, on-brand content at scale is key to our clients' successful marketing strategy," says Paul Michaud, Sr. Director of Product for Sprinklr. "Sprinklr's Content Marketing solution facilitates the overall marketing planning-through-production process to drive measurable results. Our partnership with Shutterstock provides our clients with seamless, on-demand access to Shutterstock's vast collection of quality, affordable media assets to enhance brand engagement and ultimately improved client experience".
