Shutterstock Inc. (NYSE:SSTK) is up 14% on Tuesday after they announced an image licensing deal with Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) subsidiary Google.
Headquartered in New York City, Shutterstock provides licensed media such as photographs, videos and music to businesses, marketing agencies, and media organizations globally.
