NEW YORK CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Slidely, the Creative Media Platform where more than 110M people worldwide have created and discovered creative content, has announced that it is collaborating with Getty Images to provide use of Getty Images content to Slidely users. Since launch, over eight billion photos have been viewed via Slidely applications using content from Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Flickr and Google Images, as well as users’ own devices.
As a result of the agreement, Slidely users can enhance their User Generated Content (UGC)-creations with Getty Images media. Slidely will make available a selection of award-winning photos and videos from Getty Images within the creative process, which will be immediately available on Slidely’s SlideShow and Gallery applications and on its mobile applications in a forthcoming update.
Slidely Founder and CEO Tom More shared that the collaboration is part of Slidely’s evolution into a Creative Media Platform – a place for an expressive generation that wants to do more than just watch passively, where content and creativity are accessible in fun and innovative ways.
“With a library of over 180 million assets, Getty Images is the first place creative and media professionals look to find premium content,” said Peter Orlowsky, Vice President, Business Development at Getty Images. “We are pleased to be working with Slidely in providing its millions of users with access to our award-winning collections.”
Tom More said: “We are excited as we prepare to take the next step in Slidely’s trajectory as we re-think how people interact with their content via creative tools. We are designing our platform as a fusion of content discovery and creation process, inspiring and empowering creators and viewers alike to create and share meaningful stories and conversations. Our collaboration with Getty Images will allow us to provide users with amazing content and shows momentum for Slidely’s evolution as we reshape the creative process.
