Zimmerman Company saw the potential of the business concept and signed on as a strategic partner responsible for the website design and development along with the marketing efforts to accompany the launch of GlamourKey's stock footage and stock photography website.


GlamourKey, named by the glamorous content and the chroma key technology, provides ultra high-resolution keyed-out glamour stock footage with transparent backgrounds, something no other company currently offers. By capitalizing on the limited new technology of the RED ONE camera, GlamourKey is able to produce unparalleled quality footage utilizing green screens.

Lon Zimmerman said, "By offering a royalty free business model, we emerge as a solution to an economic problem effecting creative budgets."


Zimmerman Company continues to handle strategic marketing consulting and communications for GlamourKey, contributing to the overall success and visibility of the company.
