opportunities ahead are endless, and I'm committed to our strategy of building
a full-service creative platform that delivers an exceptional experience for

creating a culture that motivates and inspires both shareholder and customer
value. Together with our talented senior leadership team, Jon and our Board, I
am confident we will successfully herald Shutterstock into a new era."
