A couple of weeks ago PAN started getting details from readers reporting large numbers of job losses at Getty Images offices across Europe, here’s what we have from the agency when we investigated:
Hi Will,
Thanks for your email.
Getty Images Group continually looks at ways to optimize and adapt to our environment, and to best serve our broad and growing base of customers across the globe. This week we internally announced some organizational changes and investments that better align the sales and marketing of the Getty Images Group to best meet customer needs and position the company going into the future.
As a global organization, we are changing our go-to-market strategy to better align sales and marketing resources to our customers and the global opportunity.
With these changes there will be some redundancies within certain local sales organizations, however there are also new positions created and overall expanded investment that better positions the company going forward. Getty Images is significantly expanding its investment in marketing, technology and its industry-leading content offering.
