Corbis
 Corbis makes a compelling case that it is the world’s
preeminent “complete visual solutions” provider.
Its images and services are used every day by publishers, advertising
and design agencies, filmmakers and other creative professionals
to tell their stories “with impact that goes beyond words.” The
company’s image licensing, rights services and assignment
photography services enable clients to differentiate brands,
sell products and services, support news stories and entertain
audiences. Images can be found and licensed on the website,
while client advisory services are available around the clock — including
subject matter and conceptual research, rights management and
clearances, and production expertise. Headquartered in Seattle,
but with offices worldwide, Corbis recently burnished its claim
to preeminence with the acquisition of zefa Visual Media Group,
the third-largest image licensing company in the world. “This
deal further solidifies our plan to accelerate penetration of
key commercial markets,” said Steve Davis, president and
ceo of Corbis. “Moreover, as a result, we expect to dramatically
improve our market share, not only in Germany, France and the
UK, but around the globe.” Just at presstime, the company
announced an agreement to make Marvel’s world-renowned
superheroes available for use through Corbis for editorial and
commercial use on a global basis.
