Glimmer Launches as Revolutionary Global Content Production Platform, Backed by Industry Luminaries

Enterprise-Grade Solution Transforms How Global Corporations Manage $210B+ in Content Spend While Empowering 50,000+ Creators Worldwide

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Glimmer Technologies Inc. (formerly Storyhunter) today announced its official relaunch at ADVERTISING WEEK as the definitive global content production platform and marketplace connecting enterprise brands, global media companies and sports leagues with the world's most talented content creators, production companies, and creative professionals. With over $125 million in payments already processed across 180 countries, Glimmer is solving one of the enterprise world's most pressing challenges: bringing financial control and operational efficiency to the exploding $210 billion in spend on content production by global corporations.

The platform's transformation comes as enterprises struggle to manage decentralized content spending across thousands of creators, agencies, and production companies worldwide.
