Getty Images, the world ’s leading creator and distributor of still imagery, footage and multi-media products, is opening its Philippine representative office in Frontera Verde, in partnership with GetCre8ive Corporation (GetCre8ive).

Prior to the opening of the Manila office, Getty Images serviced offline requirements of its Philippine customers out of Singapore. This offshore support set-up limited the extent of service provided to customers and prevented the company from fully supporting the country’s dynamic advertising, graphic design and other creative industries.

With an onshore presence, customers can now benefit from image, footage and music search services, special pricing for volume requirements and licensing services, among others. Flexible payment terms and account settlement options are now available for qualified accounts. Onsite customer briefings and training sessions for navigating Getty Images’ website, accessing the latest image trends and using its online tools are also offered at no cost. “Filipinos are one of the most creative people on the planet. Now that Getty Images is a lot more accessible [in the Philippines], we are all excited to see brilliant new executions and usages for all of the different products we carry.” says Robert Gust, President of GetCre8ive.
