Wemark Unveils 6 New Content Partnerships
No rest for team Wemark! After last month’s 1-million-images milestone, we’ve been working at all hours to expand our collection even further. We’re proud to announce 6 new partnerships with more of the industry’s leading stock photography producers and libraries.
Wemark’s marketplace is no longer an ambitious pipe dream — it’s live, quickly growing, and includes a huge selection of curated images from top photographers and partners. Caia Image and CAVAN’s collections are already searchable on Wemark.com, and content from other partners we announced last month is in the process of being uploaded, filtered and indexed.
The only piece missing towards licensing images with Wemark tokens is…wait for it… Wemark tokens. As we approach the end of our deposits period later this week and distribution of tokens next month, we’re delighted to continue adding new partners to our list of the industry’s leading commercial producers and collections.
With over 15 content partnerships in place, and submissions flowing in from thousands of individual photographers every day, Wemark couldn’t be better positioned to disrupt the industry.
Please give a warm welcome to our 6 new content partners:

Based in Hamburg Germany, Plainpicture is an inspiring, contemporary collection of images from photographers and image partners committed to pushing against the clichés of mass-produced stock photography. Their carefully curated and constantly growing library includes a wide range of subject matter — from fashion editorial and portraiture to sumptuous food photography — that feels more like a magazine assignment or custom campaign than stock photography. Their unique collection of photographs has a voice of its own, one with the potential to dramatically change the face of any brand using it.
Wemark’s content partnerships — a small glimpse into the future
Wemark’s benefits for content creators are more than significant, a testament to why so many of the industry titans are joining before the first image has been licensed. We’re confident about the collection we’ve built so far, but we’re not going to stop here.
We’re in advanced stages of discussion and licensing agreements with some of the most world renowned publications and brands to license their content on Wemark’s platform. While we can’t disclose exactly who they are just yet, these are publishers that have been at the forefront of news, nature, and pop culture photography for decades, and are likely already feeding you content every day. This onboarding process can be complex and time consuming, but it’s worth the wait and will bring a variety of new and unique content to Wemark’s marketplace. Ultimately, our work onboarding photographers, image libraries and publishers alike will help attract large, diverse audiences to learn about our innovative concept of the distributed content marketplace and take part in it.
The future of Wemark was never been so bright.
