Any avid Game of Thrones fan can see how Westeros is not too different from a modern corporation. There's a CEO who sits on the Iron Throne; his board of directors sit in the Small Council. Then there are mergers and acquisitions in the form of inter-house weddings. Instead of pink slips, you have beheadings.
In a more fragmented sense, the seven kingdoms of Westeros can be seen as competing companies vying for a spot at the top.
Shutterstock saw the many similarities between the corporate ladder and the one for power among the Seven Kingdoms. So it gave each Westeros House a modern corporation to rule over. The war for the crown would be fought out in the marketplace instead of on the battlefield. Here's how they look:
Air Targaryen: Nothing makes for a better flight than running on "fire and blood." (Or, you know, something about dragons.)
Arryn Communications: Promising quality "as high as honor."
Baratheon Security: Only House Baratheon's "fury" can protect you from mad kings and direwolf attacks.
Stark Outfitters: House Stark is tired of always reminding you that "Winter is Coming." They want you to bundle up now.
Lannister Investment Group: Hopefully, like House Lannister, this company will "always pay their debts."
Greyjoy Cruises: House Greyjoy may not "sow," but they will give you the best undersea tour this side of Westeros.
