ScoopShot:眾包式圖片攝影平臺(tái)是芬蘭赫爾辛基是一家芬蘭的初創(chuàng)企業(yè)，成立于 2011 年。它提供的按需眾包攝影市場(chǎng)可讓用戶上傳和出售照片、視頻、目擊證人報(bào)告及其他有價(jià)值和時(shí)效性的內(nèi)容，與圖片社、公民新聞?lì)愋偷男侣劮⻊?wù)等形成競(jìng)爭(zhēng)關(guān)系。
Scoopshot 他們成功募集到 390 萬(wàn)美元 A 輪融資，將繼續(xù)向全球拓展他們的圖片眾包服務(wù)。Scoopshot 利用他們不斷壯大的 35 萬(wàn)用戶，為超過(guò) 60 家媒體和出版社提供新聞圖片。這些媒體包括新聞集團(tuán)以及加州報(bào)紙出版商協(xié)會(huì)，綠色和平組織和諾基亞也曾通過(guò) Scoopshot 的服務(wù)來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)突發(fā)事件。Scoopshot 的移動(dòng)應(yīng)用支持 Android、iOS 及 Windows Phone 等多個(gè)版本。
“過(guò)去 3 年的發(fā)展，Scoopshot 毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)已經(jīng)成為行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者——通過(guò)眾包服務(wù)為品牌商和出版商提供他們所需的圖片。” Scoopshot 投資人之一的克里斯·巴查克(Chris Barchak)說(shuō)，Scoopshot 很可能顛覆現(xiàn)有數(shù)字圖片的銷售模式，原因是他們的報(bào)價(jià)一般都可以承擔(dān)，而服務(wù)又具有特定的委托性質(zhì)——風(fēng)景照還是人物照?直接向他們開(kāi)口就是了。
Scoopshot定位為素材、時(shí)效攝影等的反向市場(chǎng)。為出售的圖片增加按需的元素。買家可以布置本地、國(guó)內(nèi)及國(guó)際類的照片“作業(yè)任務(wù)”，再由用戶根據(jù)要求拍攝或上傳買家所需的照片，而 Scoopshot 則從成交中抽傭。
Scoopshot 創(chuàng)始人和 CEO 佩特里·拉赫亞(Petri Rahja)說(shuō)這筆投資有利于強(qiáng)化 Scoopshot 的銷售和營(yíng)銷隊(duì)伍，同時(shí)拓展美國(guó)市場(chǎng)——沒(méi)錯(cuò)，他們打算在這里挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)的新聞圖片市場(chǎng)。
