crowdSPRING is an online marketplace for buyers and sellers of creative services. Buyers looking for a new logo, website, marketing materials or other creative content simply post what they need, when they need it and how much they want to pay. Once posted, creatives from around the world will submit actual work – not bids or proposals – for the buyer to review. As the submissions come in, buyers are able to review, sort, rate, provide feedback and collaborate with creatives until they find the “the one.” For creatives, crowdSPRING offers powerful tools and a platform to showcase their talents on a worldwide stage. In addition to allowing anyone, anywhere to reach a global audience for their creativity, crowdSPRING also offers powerful community tools such as public profiles, private messaging, portfolios, and creative community forums. crowdSPRING was founded on three core principles: offer buyers choice, give creatives a level playing field, and protect intellectual property for all. The crowdSPRING model takes the risk out of buying creative services by offering buyers choice up front – actual designs to choose from, instead of bids or proposals. The crowdSPRING marketplace empowers an underground, underdog creative community and levels the playing field by allowing creatives – whether established professional or talented newcomer – to compete solely on the basis of their talent. crowdSPRING also protects the intellectual property of all parties by offering completely free, customized written legal agreements for every transaction.
