08.08 Combining Getty Images editorial stills and footage clips from current events and issues with a PumpAudio music track, we recently created this showreel, targeted to their clients in the political industry.
06.30.08 Check out the new Getty Images Canadian microsite. The goal of this site is to show all of their Canadian customers that they have a large bank of Canada-specific imagery, as well as a pool of Canadian photographers, filmmakers and musicians whose work can be licensed through Getty Images. We created a Canadian footage showreel specifically for this site, and provided links to all of the Canadian artists' work, as well as links to the vast resources Getty Images and its companies have to offer.
12.07.07 Getty Images just launched its new Campaign Headquarters as part of a direct-mail and e-mail campaign targeted to the political industry, to convey the breadth of products and services it has to offer -- one-stop shopping for still imagery, footage and music, with a wide range of support services. We periodically update the image animations.
11.10.07 Explore the world of Getty Images at this newly-launched microsite. We took the company’s printed global sales kit and brought it to life, defining the company-wide imagery products, licensing options and services, and creating a fun online tool for education. There’s also a project questionnaire that allows customers to answer questions and then customizes a report just for their project, highlighting the imagery, licensing options and services that may be helpful to them. Information is funneled to the sales/marketing department so that the Getty Images sales team can assist the customer directly. And when the site first launched, Getty Images held a drawing for a handheld GPS to drive traffic to the site, which was marketed with emails and direct mail.
10.31.07 Getty Images just launched its new Brand Builder microsite, which is targeted to corporations across North America. The purpose of this site is to entice companies to hire Getty Images for a brand audit, during which they identify brand attributes of the company and develop an image collection that reflects the company’s brand. Additionally, the company can use Getty’s digital asset management tools to organize and share assets globally. This site was reproduced in several languages.
09.17.07 We created this site for Getty Images as part of a direct-mail and e-mail campaign targeted to the medical and pharmaceutical industries, who are constantly in search of images of people: different age groups, ethnic groups and lifestyles. Find your perfect match!
