Mix up your business storytelling with multimedia assets from Shutterstock’s massive content library. FLEX subscribers can access beautiful images, videos, music, and much more.
It isn’t easy to scale marketing for your business or clients. Between the efforts to figure out advertising, communicating with your target customers, building social media profiles, growing your newsletter, and strategizing the right marketing spend, marketers need to access multimedia for their projects more easily than ever.
Capturing attention is a critical goal of any marketing campaign. Because of this, you need a variety of content to reach and retain customers. The best way to do this is through creating multimedia experiences and opportunities to engage with.
Marketers must quickly and easily access images, videos, sound effects, and more, in order to create these opportunities.
That’s why we created Shutterstock FLEX for Business Marketing.
Now, your marketing teams can have more creative freedom with access to images, footage, music, and video effects all on one plan and in one place.
Shutterstock FLEX offers businesses and agencies flexible access. Its monthly credits are redeemable for any type of asset—images, footage, video effects, and music.
Standard licensing is available for any and all assets you purchase.
There are two different types of FLEX subscriptions, which you can explore below:
Shutterstock FLEX
Enjoy flexible access for up to 10 team members. Receive monthly credits redeemable for any asset type—images, footage, or music. Get standard licensing on all assets you purchase.
Unlimited users so your entire company can work more flexibly. Access all your credits up-front, so you don’t have to allocate them month-to-month. Get extra flexible benefits: Access to comped assets, editorial images, extended licensing, and more.
What Can Your Marketing Multimedia Projects Look Like?
To illustrate how marketing teams use Shutterstock FLEX for Business, consider that you are a small travel agency. You’re launching a promotional campaign to promote African safari vacations and experiences.
Likely, you’ll want to create a landing page on your website that promotes this sale and these types of trips. You will develop social media content about safaris, and you’ll create visuals and graphics related to safaris on your newsletter.
Perhaps, you’ll even make a handful of teaser videos to promote in some or all of those distribution points.
Likely, one person won’t be in charge of all those assets. You’ll need your whole team to access your approved multimedia content to develop the marketing assets you need to scale.
With Shutterstock FLEX, that is now simple.
If you work for a creative agency, you can access Shutterstock FLEX for Business, too! All of the same benefits—flexible access, redeemable credits, and standard licensing—apply to agencies who choose Shutterstock as their creative content provider.
In fact, the advertising powerhouse BBDO does exactly that. They partnered with Shutterstock Premier to deliver campaign results to their top-tier clients.

Along with your image needs, your business may want to create short videos to promote your sale. For these videos, you’ll need to find the perfect footage. Much more goes into videography though, and your team is in need of video effects and music.
