ARROW a network of databases and a system enabling libraries to clear rights of "Works" they want to digitize.

ARROW PLUS builds on ARROW, extending the database network to the image field. EVA and CEPIC are only a small part of the ARROW PLUS project. Together, we will receive 5% of the total budget - involving for CEPIC a co-funding of 30.000 Euros.

"This is not underestimating the problem of images", said Piero Attanasio, ARROW project co-ordinator, "This on the contrary because we are aware that the image issue needs a project of its own."

In the next few months, we will concentrate fully on the work for ARROW PLUS.

ByLiz PepperThroughout the congress and since returning, I’m regularly asked two key questions:

  1. What did I think of the general state of the industry reflected as reflected in the mood of the conference?
  2. What do I think is the future of this stock business?

To attempt to answer the first question, I will start by saying one of my objectives for attending the congress was to speak about business development with as many existing and new contacts as possible over the course of four days. As with anything, I believe you get out of it what you put in, and it’s up to you to go out and make business happen and enjoy it!

BySylvie FodorRichard Levine of Condé Nast made a very interresting presentation at the PACA conference in New York. The presentation highlighted a glamorous iPad magazine with great potential but also the bleak situation of content providers required to provide unlimited free rights.

As vice president of editorial operations at Condé Nast, Richard Levine, has worked on the development of websites and internet editions of the print magazine as well as on the iPad version of WIRED.

Condé Nast produces 18 print magazines and developed early websites versions of the magazines. However, advertising revenues are much lower than in print. "Some people think advertising CPM tend towards zero", said Levine who contended that magazines have made the mistake to go online for free.

CTK Photobank for CEPIC

How to cope with a challenging environment ? Angela Murphy reports on one of "the most impressive seminars organised by CEPIC at this year's conference".

The main conclusions are :

  1. Technology is changing more rapidly than ever before
  2. No business will be successful unless it watches these changes closely and adapts to them swiftly
  3. Mobile devices are the prime media of the future
  4. Visual communication is the way in which we all be communicating
  5. The use of moving footage is growing rapidly
  6. Microsales are the future but will not yield as much revenue
  7. Digital assets need to retain attribution information more permanently

ByLiz PepperSpecialist content providers with a high quality collection that is exclusive to them, still have a unique selling point within the advertising market. They are able to command a price for their images that is based on the value of that image.

I have been working with companies in the stock photo business throughout Germany for close to 10 years now, but I’m aware that has consistently been with a pretty small section of the over 500 picture agencies that there are in Germany.
