The company has made significant investments over the last year in both people and acquisitions to enable Shutterstock to uniquely own the end to end creative and brand processes for companies. We're already winning multi-million dollar deals and becoming the agency of record for many of the world's most transformative brands. My job is to help tell that story so more people know about it."
As Vice President of Brand Marketing, Skip Wilson will be responsible for Shutterstock's global brand strategy by overseeing the strategic positioning and growth of the Shutterstock brand. He will lead the communication of the Company's unique value proposition through powerful go-to-market campaigns, and thought leadership to drive revenue growth and attract top-tier talent to Shutterstock.
"At its core, brand building is about connection and understanding. These are two traits that all successful brand teams internalize. The opportunity to create a strong brand that drives a deeper connection to the Shutterstock audience is what excites me," comments Skip Wilson, VP of Brand Marketing at Shutterstock. "I view brand development as a team sport – one that requires guts, sound strategy, top talent, and an openness towards doing things differently to reach new audiences. I am looking forward to showing the world's creatives what we're made of."
