iStockphoto sheds 30 jobs

Getty Images has made 30 employees redundant at iStockphoto to integrate the brand.

“We are completing the process of full functional integration across the two brands. As with most integrations, some positions become redundant and approximately 30 employees will be leaving the business in the coming months.”
— Jonathan Klein, co-founder and CEO of Getty Images, January 2012.

Getty Images acquired iStockphoto in February 2006.
