PicScout Adds Essential Content, Expanding ImageExchange™ Offering for any Image Buyer

As of today, December 8, 2009, the entire Dreamstime collection of microstock images can now be viewed and immediately used by anyone participating in the ImageExchange™ beta.

With the addition of microstock images, ImageExchange users now have access to every type of image, including:

We’re excited to offer these expanded options to creative and advertising professionals, corporate communications personnel, publishers, bloggers, students, and media.

Serban Enache, Dreamstime founder and CEO, explained how this increases the choices for creative professionals, and supports the photographers represented by Dreamstime:

Dreamstime licenses a new microstock file every 2 to 3 seconds at our site. The PicScout ImageExchange suggests a quantum acceleration of Dreamstime image licensing, as our images become available everywhere they are seen.

We applaud PicScout and are very proud to participate with our renowned collection of millions of microstock images.

And we are delighted to offer Dreamstime images to our ImageExchange beta group!

90 Day Fast Start – Plans for the Next 90 Days

PicScout has a bold vision – ensure Every Image Gets Its Credit™ – and over the course of the last 90 days, we announced our new branding and market positioning, we unveiled our new services platform, the ImageIRC™, and our newest product, the ImageExchange™. We have signed more than 15 new global relationships with several more announcements on the way. We were recognized by Deloitte as a top 5 Technology Fast 50 company and we’ve become much more visible at conferences in speaking roles and in the press.

On the horizon in 2010, is our extensive outreach to members of the creative professionals and creative commons communities as our ImageExchange add-on becomes a must have creativity, productivity and confidence tool for all who use and consumer images.

To support this expansion, PicScout is restructuring its team in the US to meet the significantly evolved needs of the company and its customer/client base. We are no longer solely a B2B play with a select group of rights managed agencies – our new services platform and resulting products now serve the needs of ALL agencies, platforms and aggregators of digital content and we now provide the game-changing solution for creative professionals to find, use and transact for digital imagery.

In addition to the restructure of the existing team, next week, we will be announcing several new position descriptions on our career website page. You may know someone who would be a perfect fit for our team – and we’d love for you, our loyal clients, customers and followers to play a role in who we hire and who you will have the chance to work with in the future. Here’s who we’re looking for…

They must thrive in a fast-paced, goal driven, client and user first culture. Their personality and style is where the glass is always half full. They can demonstrate experience and attitude of finding ways to do something rather than reasons why it cannot be done are a must. They do not want to be told how to do every step – rather they want to understand the deliverable and reason for it – and then they want the room to be creative to over deliver against the goal. They have a curiosity about their work – where they are always seeking to learn and understand. Bottom-line they not only work smarter – but they also work harder than average employees – our culture is one of work hard – play hard – and enjoy seeing the results in the marketplace and in our company’s own valuation.

The new team will be based in Silicon Valley and we are looking for product marketing, business development (content and technical partners), and sales/account management. Israel is also hiring talent, in particular engineers.

Best regards,

Amy Love

The Gift of Renewed Creative Inspiration and Increase Productivity Make the ImageExchange Add-on the Creative Professionals New BFF

Creative Professionals and designers can now seek, search, or stumble upon the best Internet-based images they can find to enhance their work and gain more productive time in their day. Through research, and our own in depth conversations with Creative Pros, we learned that, until now, the Internet has been both friend and foe.

With the recent introduction of ImageIRC registry, Creative Pros can see the image information they have always needed — the who, what, where and how to acquire image rights — in one click of the mouse. Tens of millions of images are now available.

After downloading the free ImageExchange add-on, creative professionals will see a new Internet — a world of images where they see metadata such as licensor, image type, and photographer associated every time they go online.  Gone are the days when Creative Pros dare only use the open Internet for creative inspiration — now Google, Yahoo, Bing — actually any web page, can serve as creative inspiration as well as a productivity enhancer. Creative Professionals can use images found online immediately and with confidence.

The ImageExchange add-on is free and easy to use — just request your invitation to be one of the first to use it and begin changing your work life!

We welcome your comments and insights about the ImageExchange plug-in.  Use the contact form
or by Twitter.
