POND5

Brokered licensing deals for the leading “Artist First” media marketplace

As Pond5’s first Creative Partner, I negotiated large-scale media deals, increasing revenue within a 300+ client portfolio by over 40% and spearheading a fully indemnified license to expand industry adoption. I also produced industry events in NY and LA, securing sponsorships and talent to elevate Pond5’s profile, contributing to its most profitable year and positioning it for acquisition by Shutterstock.
