At a21, our goal is to be seen as the leading digital creative content marketplace for the professional creative community—a place where 'creatives' and 'artists' not only get what they need, but also what they want. As one step toward that goal, a21 acquired SuperStock, Inc., a pioneer and 30-year leader in the stock image industry.
Through SuperStock, a21 now provides creative professionals worldwide a library of nearly two million images and counting. SuperStock is known for its image breadth, production quality and commitment to excellent customer service. Together a21 and SuperStock provide a new level of image access to the best photographers, artists, photography agencies, and customers in the business.
The market for stock images is an estimated $2 billion in annual revenues worldwide. Right now, two companies command approximately one third of the market. The remaining two-thirds of the market are shared by hundreds of specialized agencies and photographers. This can make for a somewhat confusing and difficult experience for creative professionals, especially with time constraints and deadlines looming.
Our goal at a21 is to make sense of the madness by creating a user-friendly online marketplace where creative professionals can easily and quickly buy and supply images by way of convenient navigation and common business rules and tools. Our marketplace is an all-digital media bank supporting high-quality image search, storage, rights management, and digital delivery requirements.
For photographers and photo agencies, the a21 marketplace offers efficient photo management, including conversion, storage, distribution, marketing, customer service, and media rights management. Photographers and agencies can easily use the a21 e-business services as either a complete private management solution or as a marketing and distribution channel.
The a21 Marketplace is a 'One-Stop' resource to the art seller and buyer—making the experience of finding great creative content fun again!
