NBC Universal partners with Digital Railroad
NBC Universal has selected Digital Railroad to launch its new stock photography website for the studio’s new Digital Media Distribution Group. The online archive is called NBC Universal Photo Bank and is located at www.nbcuphotobank.com. Last June NBC Universal announced the creation of the new business unit and has become the first major film studio to launch its own photo licensing business rather than work with an outside agency. NBC Universal’s photo archive includes millions of images, dating back to the 1940s up to and including current images from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
“As we move into the next phase of this exciting business venture, we are pleased to announce our alliance with Digital Railroad. Their feature-rich digital technology platform enables NBC Universal to display and protect our valuable photo assets while we provide our valued clients and photo buyers with an efficient and easy to use digital image archive search, delivery and workflow solution,” said Ray Slay, Vice President, NBC Universal Photography and New Media.
“We are honored that NBC Universal has selected Digital Railroad’s robust platform for their innovative new NBCU PhotoBank initiative,” said Evan Nisselson, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Railroad. “There is incredible synergy between our visionary teams. We are thrilled to provide the NBC photo production and licensing sales teams as well as their image buyers with the most efficient solution online for managing, distributing and selling photography around the world.”
