Beyond Custom Shoots + Stock: The Democratization of Imagery Traditional stock libraries, known for providing a wide range of content across numerous media types, have traditionally favored staged imagery from a narrow set of creators. At the same time, a growing preference for natural, authentic visuals has emerged as everyday people share genuine moments via social media channels. Because consumers demand a more authentic experience that resonates with brands they like and trust, it demands marketing teams to look more broadly beyond only stock and custom production and integrate content from the Internet into all types of campaigns, which delivers a better return on marketing investments. Reports highlight a growing demand for content that captures real-life moments. In a study by Stackla, it was showcased that 88% of consumers accord importance to authenticity when deciding which brands to endorse. Furthermore, a report by TINT shows that user-generated content is considered the most trustworthy, as it's created by people who are documenting firsthand experiences, original perspectives, and are sharing those assets online.
