Problem
Event organizers often struggle to obtain high‑quality photos and short‑form videos quickly and affordably because traditional videography requires bulky equipment, extensive setup time, and costly professional crews. This leads to delayed content delivery and limited flexibility for a wide range of event types.
Solution
Shutterb operates a web‑based marketplace that matches event planners with vetted, smartphone‑trained content creators (“shutterbz”). Clients select creators by the hour (starting at $64 /hr) and receive a private, cloud‑hosted gallery of edited assets within a few hours of the event’s conclusion. The platform handles the entire workflow: event details are entered, an algorithm matches suitable creators, and the creators capture high‑resolution photos and up‑to‑2‑minute video clips using modern smartphones and accessories. Optional post‑production services—highlight recaps and storytelling edits—are available for an additional per‑edit fee, and bulk hour packages provide volume discounts. This end‑to‑end solution lets organizers stay present at their events while ensuring fast, professional‑grade visual content.
Target Audience
Primary customers are professional event organizers, conference planners, and brand marketers who need rapid, high‑quality visual content for meetings, trade shows, performances, and community events.
