Embracing the Groundswell with crowdSPRING

How it works

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 buyers, crowdSPRING takes the risk out of buying creative services by offering buyers choice up front. For creatives, crowdSPRING offers a platform to showcase their talents worldwide - a global stage where title and experience don't matter. This global stage empowers an untapped worldwide 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.

How we embrace the Groundswell

There's an underground, underdog creative community growing on the internet and they're directly at odds with centuries of tradition. It's blogger versus journalist, open source versus Microsoft and iStockPhoto versus professional photographer. At crowdSPRING, we pick up where these trailblazers left off and bring this phenomenon to the rest of the creative industry. We give creatives a level playing field where only talent matters.

And, for the over 1,000,000 companies started around the world every single month, this is nothing short of revolutionary. In fact, the response has been astounding - almost half a million people have poured through our doors speaking more than 90 different languages. Over 5500 creatives from more than 125 countries have taken part. Buyers from 29 countries have posted projects and received more than 40,000 entries in return. This is the true power of the crowdSPRING model and this is the Groundswell in action.
