Pepper Stark five years of business
Starting with Pepper Stark, we have just celebrated our 5th year of business on 2nd June.
The industry and indeed the media landscape has changed a lot since we launched at the Cepic conference in Prague, 2005. There have certainly been some pretty tough economic times. Although it's clear that not all territories are as yet over the worst, we have definitely seen a significant uplift in the recruitment side of our business over the last few months as well as new productions scheduled from a range of companies worldwide. Both are strong signs that there is new investment being made into the stock photography and digital media industries.
Meet us at CEPIC
We are in Dublin from 9 to 13 June 2010. Please do contact us to arrange a meeting if you would like to and haven't already. Otherwise we hope if you are attending that we will see you at one of the social events.
