BIGSTOCK to Sponsor Reality Web Series, Prosperity's Kitchen

San Jose, CA, December 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Prosperity's Kitchen, the ground-breaking new reality web series produced by Word Chef Enterprises, is pleased to announce that BIGSTOCK is the new presenting sponsor for the 12-week series that premieres this January.

It is the first reality web sponsorship for BIGSTOCK, one of the leading royalty-free stock image companies serving the small biz community online.

“To have BIGSTOCK choose Prosperity’s Kitchen as their first reality web series sponsorship is an incredible tribute to our program,” said executive producer Tea Silvestre. “Their support will help us maintain the high quality mix of instruction and entertainment for the small biz audience that drew them to Prosperity's Kitchen in the first place."

“The Prosperity's Kitchen audience of solopreneurs and freelancers makes up a significant portion of the BIGSTOCK community – from the person who submits images to the designer or blogger who uses them,” says BIGSTOCK General Manager Ben Pfeifer. “Sponsoring this innovative program allows us to support both sides of this model, and encourage independent creativity through licensed visual media.”

As part of the partnership, BIGSTOCK will provide stock images to Prosperity’s Kitchen for their use in developing the series as well as prize packages of image assets for the program’s winners.

BIGSTOCK’s first “on-air” web sponsorship messages will begin on January 21st, with the broadcast of the first episode of “Prosperity’s Kitchen.” The company will also be part of an episode mid-season that talks about content creation and how to best-use stock images in marketing materials.

Funding for the Prosperity’s Kitchen series also is provided by Play-at-Home viewers, with additional support from Blue Host web hosting and AnyMeeting web meeting services.

Prosperity’s Kitchen is a Word Chef Enterprises production.
