Wish I had one of those. They only do those with really big agencies because they are such important clients. When you are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, you expect to get what you need to sell the work. If the client loves it then bam you'll go and get full license but if you try with a watermarked low res well we all know how shite that looks..We use istock and dreamstime sometimes but I always push our designers to be creative with the images they use and avoid anything that is overused. "most downloaded" = bad bad!
The terrible thing about stock imagery and istock in particular is what Amicus has said already - you see the same shit everywhere once you are aware of it lol.
For example I see this girl several times a day online and in my physical surroundings:
And don't forget her boyfriend:
