Ogilvy PR snapped up U.S. AOR duties for Shutterstock, the online stock photography marketplace.
The New York-based company did not work with an incumbent agency of record.
Boutique New York shop Morton PR worked with Shutterstock prior to 2011. Meagan Kirkpatrick was hired as director of social media and PR in March 2011 from IAC.
CEO Jon Oringer, who started the company in 2003 with 30,000 of his own images, said in a statement said the company looks forward “to building our brand more through our collaboration” with Ogilvy.
Shutterstock in February said it surpassed 200 million licensed image downloads, which it said was an industry first.
Ogilvy has also picked up social conversation app Chumkee and its developer, C-Vibe, for PR and social media support.
