About six months after a rebrand, Storyblocks is reporting growth in partnerships with big media brands.

The company offers stock media on a subscription basis. In all, Storyblocks has a library of 14 million assets such as videos, images, sound effects and more. Through a new corporate partnership program, the Arlington, Va.–based company is offering multi-seat licenses to larger firms.

The offering “adds another layer to our business model by providing leading companies with access to features such as unlimited downloads, à la carte video and image Marketplaces, and unwatermarked comps,” Storyblocks CEO TJ Leonard said in a statement.

Recently, the company said it is working with NBCUniversal, Vox Media, HBO and Universal Music Group under this program.

Videoblocks also offers its service as an API, which can integrate directly into the workflow for a tech company’s users. The company has seen more than 4.4 million downloads through API integrations.

Originally called Videoblocks, the company branched out into marketplaces for media that includes images, graphics and audio. Storyblocks relocated from Reston to Arlington last year.
