Shutterstock has announced a new footage subscription available to content marketers. The annual plan provides access to a library of 18 million HD and 4K video clips.

Shutterstock, a US company known for its vast library of stock footage, photography and music, is offering new annual and monthly billing options for increased access to fresh video content. The subscription is aimed at digital producers, video editors, freelancers, and social media managers who require access to a broad range of footage.

CRO at Shutterstock, Jamie Elden believes that this is a flexible solution for marketers in the current climate, in which producing a video or shooting content is restricted by social distancing measures. 

“With video consumption trends increasing now more than ever, the market needs to quickly and easily access fresh, relevant and affordable content,” says Elden.

Shutterstock has also recently launched a resource hub for marketers and publishers including access to content and tools, including a selection of free images and visual content related to COVID-19.

The resource hub includes:

• curated image collections for use by media partners, including stock images, infographics and other content
• a set of free backgrounds for virtual meetings, and 
• a range of guides and advice posts to help enhance your visual efforts.
